Ocala National Forest Run......intrest....

[Slo Poke]

RIDE IS POSTPONED!!! SEE MY POST ON PAGE 7...


MEET-UP:
1. Land O Lakes - Marathon
Corner of SR 54 & Collier Parkway
8:00 am meeting...KSU @ 8:15 SHARP

2. Brooksville - Hess @ SR 50
Corner of SR 50 & Spring Lake (THE hess)
9:00 am meeting...KSU 9:30 SHARP

THE RIDE:
We will head up to the Ocala National Forest and hit all the best roads on the way. We may stop by the Sugarloaf Loop in Clermont as do a few laps if the heat is off. We will contiue on to the forest and have a lunch break in Ocala. I have a route that will hit the best twisties possible without going too far out of the way. There is some up and down (straight) riding and some jaunts through small towns where we WILL slow down to speed limit riding. Overall its a nice change of pace and we hit a few very technical roads and then BEAUTIFUL SWEEPERS in the forest.

We will be returning to the HESS in Brooksville by 3:30 or 4:00 depending on how long we break for lunch.

OTHER STUFF
-PACE: The pace of this ride will vary, depending on a number of things (group size, location, etc.). All riders will be accounted for at every stop and i will have a ride meeting before we leave each meet spot to go over some rules. I DO NOT WANT TROUBLE WITH THE POLICE AND WILL GO SLOW WHERE WE NEED TO. THIS RIDE IS NOT FOR INEXPERIENCED RIDERS.

-GEAR: All riders must wear gear for this ride. A minimum of jeans, closed toed shoes (boots), jacket, gloves and helmets. Show up with no gear and you will be ridiculed.

-STUNTING: Not tolerated on the ride AT ANY TIME (accept for powerwheelies on corner exists ;) ). When you leave the group, you can wheelie ur azz off...but a group of sportbikes already turns heads, no need for more attention from John Q. Public or the Po-Po.

SO IF YOU ARE IN FOR THE RIDE...PLEASE PM ME. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE ANYMORE THAN 8 RIDERS NOT INCLUDING ME, BECAUSE IT TENDS TO BRING THE FUN LEVEL DOWN A NOTCH WHEN THE GROUP GETS TOO BIG.

Really? They don't like Ninjas? Good, that's why Ninjas are sneaky like ninjas and won't be seen or heard...until it's too late. :lol: But I might be in for this ride, if I train my monkey butt into buns of steel.

THIS RIDE IS NOT FOR INEXPERIENCED RIDERS.

Define Inexperienced riders. I know my bike I know my limits, I been riding for less than a year, does that make me inexperienced?

Possible more than one group if someone else knoews the place

[Green Goblin]

Define Inexperienced riders. I know my bike I know my limits, I been riding for less than a year, does that make me inexperienced?

I'll state the honest answer: If you have to ask, then you likely don't qualify.

Riding for less than a year would definitely make you a less than experienced rider in my book, but thats my personal opinion.

HTH

[Slo Poke]

I know my bike I know my limits


if that is a fact....then you will be just fine....and you will have a good time f'sho :D ....

[Teknical]

HTH

I asked because I know there are people also in the same situation.
I don't feel that I'm Inexperienced, I just wanted to know his opinion.




if that is a fact....then you will be just fine....and you will have a good time f'sho :D ....

Sounds good I'm looking forward to tearing up my new rear tire :crack:

[Emerehh]

ive had my gix less than a year

but then again, im an asshole and will come riding just to spite chad anyways ;)

BUAHAHAHAHHAAHAH

[racerraul]

I will ask for the time off... I may end up being the 10th rider, cause if I get the time off, I will be there to spoil the number count ;)

[Slo Poke]

you know there is always room for joo Raul....

[kawie636]

anybody got a bike i can ride?

[Green Goblin]

I asked because I know there are people also in the same situation.
I don't feel that I'm Inexperienced, I just wanted to know his opinion.

Sounds good I'm looking forward to tearing up my new rear tire :crack:

As long as Chad is comfortable with who is in on his ride, that is what counts, but my statement still stands "honestly" if you have to ask....

Have fun guys. :cool:

[Nick]

Sounds good Chad count me in. Need to find a zipper and get that taken care of before the ride.

[JoeHoR1]

I think that I'd be experienced enough, but I'm not THAT fast, cuz I'm not as crazy as some of these other mofo's and I'm on stock tires. Would I be holding you guys up?

[Slo Poke]

as long as you know when not to try and keep up, you will be fine....no one will leave you or anyone behind....so make plans to come along....

[ZdaMan]

If its going to be on a Saturday I might come out of retirement for this one.

As long as its not going to be a triple digits on all the straight aways kind of ride.

$75 for LEATHER.....good deal....c'mon it will look good on the CBR!!!! :D

[Teknical]

DEW IT GIRLY MAN!



plus its a hell of a deal. I'd buy one but my fat ass cant fit in it.

-Tek

[pizzaman]

I don't plan on setting any speed records. A "BURST" here and there would be fun, though. I may have to invest in some longjohns if it's cold.

I was thinking of wearing leathers. I gained too much weight over the holidays so I guess that's out........;)

[Slo Poke]

^i always ride in leathers, even on the street....some peeps think im nutz in the summer...but....sweat wipes off, road rash doesnt....

[lilmike13]

[JoeHoR1]

The last time we rode together you were no where near me to be able hold my hand.
:-o :lol:

That was low... :( You're only an amazing rider cuz you had enough money to rock an Italian bike :P

[racerraul]

Should be good to meet a few new peeps.

[Slo Poke]

Well fellas....i gotz some bad news.....

as you all know, i am a corporate slave and unfortunatley...i am going to have to be somewhere on Saturday that i cant get out of....ive tried for the last 2 days to get out of it, but i will have to be out of town until Saturday night....

I HAVE TO POSTPONE THIS RIDE......

I can do it on Sunday morning and have everyone back to watch 4 hours of pre-game superbowl coverage...but i need to know who still would want to do that and who would rather we post-pone this for a week or 2....

im really sorry guys, but you knowz im a high powered executive....

post up who wants to do what....

[Teknical]

I think I may still go out on sunday, I don't care for football any ways :)

[pizzaman]

I vote to postpone. I could possibly do it Sunday. I had planned to go on a TSB north run Sunday, get some barbecue and play some H'shoes. Few more days for everyone to decide.

[Emerehh]

ill ride sunday, i dont watch anything on the superfail besides the shitty halftime errrrr show i guess its supposed to be?

[JoeHoR1]

I can do Sunday, but I'd rather postpone it that way I can maybe get some more gear... You guys wanna do a small North Run on Sunday to check everyone's pace (mainly cuz I don't know if I can keep up with the big dogs)? LMK

[racerraul]

I will go to Ocala some other time then. Just let me know in advance so I can take the time needed off.

I can't go on Sunday, so you guys have fun.

I'm still riding on Sat... haven't decided where I'm going though

[kawie636]

raul what time do you want to meet up at the neon cowboy?? ill meet some people at the marathon name a time and ill be there...i vote postpone let me get caught up on a few things then im down for a ocala run....

[Capt Insano]

I cant ride Sunday...Reschedule IMO

[Slo Poke]

Concensus is to re-schedule this thing....lets set it for:


Saturday, February 23rd.....thats the weekend after the track attack track day....

[Slo Poke]

Im still open to ride Sunday....so lets get together if you guys want to....we can go to Clermont, Ozello, North Run or South Run....

post up...

[kawie636]

[Nick]

Concensus is to re-schedule this thing....lets set it for:

Im down for that as long as my bikes still in one peice from the track.

[Emerehh]

[JoeHoR1]

No, Let's just do the Sat thing from the other thread. I might do the Sunday run with you guys on Sun if I don't go on Saturday.

[Green Goblin]

I'll never forget the day I was introduced to "Freestyle", and i know raul wont either :lmao:
