Is this different then the North run? I am looking for some new roads becuase after 6 years that run is starting to get old. I went awhile back ago with a guy named Craig (had a TLR) that took us somewhere on Trails end and ended up in the boonies. That was a fun ride but the pace was very fast so I had no time to remember the route for future use.

Would you mind if I go and stay in the back?

I might try to make it out, but only cause John might come.... BTW John, no bottle yet Did find out my bike had been to the track... Made two runs, one was a 11.0@128mph.... Not that I care to drag the bike ( other than the fairing last Sunday) or that I could ride it that fast...

Anyway... My buddy Alan just told me its like the best run around.

I think I saw that TL-R. Had race fairing and stuff ( like solid tail section etc ), yellow ?

1. yes, its different than the north run...it goes into Polk and Lake counties.
2. the ride you did to trails ends, most refer to as the "gobbler run", its an off-shoot of the north run, the residential part of the run is not good because of the houses and dirty roads, but the sweepers out to US 41 are some of the best around.
3. We would love you to come along...we like pasta burners! There is more up and down riding than with the north run, but some good roads none the less.

Chad... lets stop again on green pond for the necessary warning. After Mike's incident I really have no desire to ride through there fast or see it catch someone else by surprise...

i dont really know you, but it sounds like you just got a bike and dont sound very confident in your riding ability. if this is true, this may not be a good run for you, the pace is posted as Moderate, but its still pretty quick compared to most sport rides (even if JDR is on a Kawi ). Not trying to be an ass about it, just may be better to get some more seat time and then come on out.
