If you go, ride your pace. Showing up & trying to stay with Joe on roads you never seen before is a mistake even for an experienced rider... Joe sort of has home court advantage ;)

Well today would of been a fantastice day...except a guy by the name of Rob(GSXR1000) went down on Pa........ Rd. We had the great weather, great company, great food. It happened on e of the last corners he was paying attention to a female on the side of the road and did not see the SUV in front of us making a right hand turn. He basicly layed the bike down. He is okay(wearing full leather), but the left side of his bike is trashed. Raul where are those sweet pics????

[Brandon]

man i hate to hear that, couldn't happen to a nicer guy as well.

+1 on those pics Raul, even though i know mine is going to fucking suck

[Brandon]

Furthermore, i had a great time riding with you guys today. The pace was pretty quick but comfortable. Joe, you lead a good ride my friend. Chad, nice to meet you finally as well, hopefully you can make the ride on Saturday. Cant wait until next time!

--Brandon

[jdr_racer]

Thanks Brandon...the pace was quicker, but I still felt comfortable....its those damn burgers...lol

[Slo Poke]

shit!!! sorry to hear about Rob going down....hes a really good guy and im glad he is alright....leather rules, i know i look crazy on the damn road sometimes, but its worth it for sure!!!!

can you send me the site the Rob is on (if you know it...) or any email address you may have?

[Vader]

Looks like I missed out. And I see Raul is still "sick"

Wheres those pics RR?

[racerraul]

Sux to hear Rob went down... Hope he gets back on the road soon. I had a great time yesterday & today following Joe & Rob... the pace was up from the usual & I was diggin it!!! I have been off the bike for a bit so I am feeling a few sore muscles from throwing the Z around like I aint supposed to :lol:

Great to see every one out...

[jdr_racer]

Raul...you are the man w/ the camera!!! Thanks for those awesome pics!!!! You were rigt about that spot....we have to do that spot again once I get that corner down...thnaks again bro!!

[Slo Poke]

OMFG!! raul...those pics are fuggin awesome...thanks for your efforts its nice to have some actions shots of you and your buds.....very very cool!!!!!!

[Brandon]

you're the man raul

[racerraul]

You know what they say... I am my worst critic...

We will do it again indeed. I had to clean up the shots too much to my liking. Next time I will be on the other end of the road. The filter helped, but I should have known better than to stand in front of the sun without a hood lens.

Gotta be thankful for Picassa & Photoshop!

Glad you all liked the pics... check them again... I added some captions, an ill attempt at some lame humor... ;)

[jdr_racer]

Raul those captions were funny as shit!!!

[racerraul]

BTW... you guys couldn't have done this any easier for me... My Camera only has a 4 frame buffer & I really needed for you guys to come by the turn with plenty of time for me to take the shots & let the camera write to the flashcard.

I didn't miss anyone & that was awesome... great job, do the same thing next time...

Hopefully I'll have 1 of you takes pics of me as well...

[jdr_racer]

I can do it for you Raul

[racerraul]

Sounds good!

BTW... glad you like the nickname... I am afraid, you are stuck with it now... and I might add... I may have to post "long live the king" on every thread I see appropriate... know what mean? :lol:

[Slo Poke]

great captions...well done Raul!!!

[Brandon]

:lmao: I said the same shit about me making that bitch look small.

:lol: @ The Destroyer :lmao: :lmao:

[Slo Poke]

Yeah James is fantastic...I never knew someone who was just 19yrs old that can actually ride w/ some brains, and is not all about stunts!!! I am sure his dad has something to do with that since he rides as well

[racerraul]

James is certainly a pleasant surprise... So is Brandon BTW... he is only 21 IIRC.
Def appreciate young guys like them.

Frankie I'll say something nice about you when your lazy ars comes out with us ;) We promise not to cause your purty gixxer any damage DOH!!!!

[z1000r]

thanks for all the compliments guys. Fun riding with everyone and look forward to doing it again soon!....school is about to get in my way again so it will be a little more difficult.
