Hampton Roads Ducati thread

Man, this ride keeps growing. My neighbor Jim wants to come along, he's got a Harley, but I told him we'd stop every so often to let him catch up.
My buddy Dave's gonna come out too. He's got an '02 620 also. Sounds like a good ride is in the works.
I was thinking about where to meet. There's a gas station at the corner of Lynnhaven and Indian River that might be an equal run for everybody.
Lemme know.

+1 , Lynnhaven/Indian River works well for me.  I'm not sure where everyone is coming from, this is probably a little closer to me.  But if we are heading towards fentress it is probably a good place to stop and collect everyone on the way.

I guess Jim can come as long as he spells it HARLI   

[Bun-bun]

Okay
Final answer: Corner of Indian River and Lynnhaven at 10am on Sunday.
Fill your tanks!

It shouldn't be hard to find a bunch of Ducati's on a street corner, but is there only one gas station there?  Sometime I get easily confused

[Bun-bun]

Yup.

I think it's an Exxon.

Everyone's welcome.

I'm in, so long we are not going on the highway. 

[Bun-bun]

No, no highway.
We'll run the same route I took Kris on, then if more is required, we can head down North Landing into VA Beach, or run the same roads backwards. Whatever, I don't really care, I just want to put faces to everybody, and see all your rides, then have a nice run.
Everything else is gravy.

Had an hour of free time this afternoon and ran the loop Bun-bun mentioned (indian river, mt pleseant, fentress, land of promise, blackwater), it was pretty good.  It was great to get out and ride, not just commuting.  Can't wait for Sunday. 

Took the 748 out to play.  Apparently, that bike was designed for  arctic riding.  When you combine the outflow from radiator on my legs, under seat exhaust keeping my A@@ warm it was HOT!   Of course the fact that it was 90+ out didn't help.

Everyone be safe out there tonight.  I was stopped at the intersection of fentress and land of promise when a car comes by slowly with the drivers door half open.   He pulls up next to me appearing at least partially intoxicated and starts SCREAMING at me, "WHAT'S MY NAME? WHAT'S MY NAME?".  Then he started getting out of the the car towards me.  Needless to say, I tried to set a new 0-60 record.   

So everyone be careful out there tonight and all weekend.  Keep an eye out for the crazies!  And have a happy 4th of July.

Damn, dude, glad you got out of there safe.
I took the 620 to the fireworks at Oceanview. Started to rain as I left the parking lot. Road got REALLY slick, so I pulled off and sat it out. It rained buckets!  After it quit, I'm riding home, and there's trees down, debris all over the road, glad I waited that one out.
See y'all Sunday!

What is wrong with people. A few years back I was on Military Hwy, and a Dodge Magnum came flying up on my rear. I switched lanes thinking he would just blow past, but when he pulled even he started yelling out of his window "I will f***ing mow you down, you motherf***er." At the next stop light he kept going, saying he hated bikers or some such crap. Unfortunately I was on a mighty 500cc Buell Blast at the time, and there was nowhere for me to go.

[CMDRDAVE]

Rain, Rain, go away, come again some other day when I'm not supposed to go riding!   

[Bun-bun]

I'm going!
I'm leaving now, be there in @ 20min.
I'll wait til 10:30  to start.
Radar looks good for the next couple hours. One shower passing now, then clear for @ 90miles.
See ya there.
Jeff
