Not to hijack a thread, but I'm in Orlando about once every week or two. I have driven down Colonial and can't find you. Judging from Mapquest, you should be near that little airport and the Toys R Us. Are you back off the road and I just don't see you or am I just blind?

I think I'm going to ride over to Tampa tomorrow and ride with Tspoole. I've not met him yet and according to the website link he gave me, there are pancakes for breakfast. I'm going to take one of my daughters and make a day of it.

Kev

P.S. as soon as I can find your store, I'll stop in.

I just came back from San Diego today, was there 3 days.. didnt have my Busa.. wish I did, it was nice down there.

Wife said it has been nice here also, got back and was wearing my tank top most of the day today. Hasnt been any fog,

Forcast tomorrow is sunny with the highs around 56!!! perfect weather riding riding in full gear!! muah ha ha!!!

Well havent gotten any phone calls nor PM's so it looks like just me by myself again...

Well its around 10 pm so maybe you're already asleep.  You taking 198 and then 46 to the coast?  From Lemoore you must know about hiway 25 from 198 to Hollister right?  When I venture south I try to ride 25 to 198 from Hollister.  It seems the better direction for some reason.  On my ride before last, I met up with a CHP just south of Hollister where the first real straightaway begins.  He was heading north and on my 79 I didn't have my Valentine but luckily I was powering down from triple digits at around 80-90 and when he came over the rise all he did was hit his lights.  Couldn't believe it!  As we passed I made sure he could see my brake light but knowing it was doubtful I would see another CHP anywhere on that tiny two lane before I got to 198 I ended up having a (real) good ride, all the way.  Great two lane!

As for riding with a Busa "Master" I don't know...all I ride are antiques, one nekkid 79 and the other, an 82 Prolink with fairing, shield and bags.  They do have six carburetors and six cylinders though.  Ever hear of them?  I'll be up till midnight or so if you're interested, let me know. I'll check in the morning too.

You have a PM

I am planning on riding today as well. It is going to be a balmy 48 here in eastern Iowa. Don't think I can make Cali in time though.

[BulletTrain]

Well, I'd need a bit more notice to be able to make it. So, ummm, I guess I'll just pose... or maybe just ride around here.

[diesel]

What's a poser?

[thrasherfox]

What's a poser?

lol

[Kento-Moto]

I'd go, but still no wheels ...

oh and u is about 300 miles from here

[BulletTrain]

What's a poser?

Go to to see what a poser looks like.

Here's one of many pics Ron has of himself "posin'"...

[ChronosWS]

I'm gonna do a wonderful ride up I5 from Salem, OR to Redmond, WA. The weather will be a balmy 38 with variable rain. Anyone wanna join me?

[Relsek]

I just got back from my ride. Today has been the coolest day of the season. I left the house this morning at around 8:00 am and the temp was 50 degrees. The forcast called for a high of 70 today so I wore jeans, my h.org t-shirt and my leather jacket. It never got to 70, it rained a little, probably did good to reach 60. When will I learn not to listen to the weather man. We had fun though. I rode with tspool and the BMW riders of tampa.

[diesel]

I'm serious...

[BulletTrain]

I'm serious...

Ok then... In this case a poser would be someone who rides to a local hangout and sits on their bike, or owns a bike for the image but doesn't care much for actually ridin'...

[BulletTrain]

By the way, I got me in a short ride today. Got about 30 miles or so of some decent twisty stuff close to my house. I had adjusted the steering head bearing and had to take it out to make sure that solved my handlin' and headshake problems that developed during my last ride. 30 miles wasn't near enough but I don't have good cold weather gloves so my fingers fuggin' FROZE.

I was comfortable everywhere except my fingers. They got cold enough that they lost a bit of feeling and dexterity. I fumbled on the brake lever once and I didn't feel like it was wise to continue ridin' like that so I headed in. I've gotta find some reasonably priced winter ridin' gloves now. I'm tryin' to put together enough cold weather gear so that I don't have to winterize and park Diablo this winter. I think I'm good now except for gloves...
