Moderate ride Sunday November 1st
Moderate ride Sunday November 1st
FWMR Club Ride
Meetup: Sonic on Clifford St. in White Settlement
Kick stands up: 9:02am
Ride Leader: Fixxervi6
This will be a Moderate pace ride. Moderates are great for riders who want a slightly faster pace than beginners but still slow enough to be relaxed and comfortable on any sized bike, with a passenger, or learning to ride with the group. The pace for a moderate ride is at or near posted speed limits. On a Moderate ride the ride leader tries to keep a closer eye on the group and adjust the speeds appropriately.
Please be dressed appropriately: helmet, jacket, gloves, over the ankle shoes and long pants.
I expect cooler temperatures so dress appropriately. I still don't have my RSV4 supersport back so I will be leading this on the GS1200 - with knobbies on so I won't be railing the twisties, this will be a rather mild ride. If you want breakfast show up early we need to leave close to on-time, we need to get to lunch before the crowds start rolling in. We'll down some BBQ then head back north

Also if I go, can I not ride behind any Triumphs? You know how they are prone to shedding parts, and I have that track day coming up, and I cannot afford to have any down time.

Do you truly expect to ride with a pack of Triumphs and not be at the back of the line?!?WickerMan wrote:Classic.fixxervi6 wrote:Can't have both of you along, with two triumphs no way we will get through the day without a mechanical

And technically nothing has every fallen off my bike. Some of it was suspended in a manner that was not part of the original design, but it never hit the ground...or another bike.

Re: Moderate ride Sunday November 1st
That was for you Terry, you know I was just razzing you. But I must say the only 2 cycles I passed on my track day on the 250 were Triumphs. Now it was a Bonnevile and a ST1000, but they were Triumphs.LonestarCBR wrote:Do you truly expect to ride with a pack of Triumphs and not be at the back of the line?!?WickerMan wrote:Classic.fixxervi6 wrote:Can't have both of you along, with two triumphs no way we will get through the day without a mechanical

Re: Moderate ride Sunday November 1st
NO worries, I deserve all I get...humor (and sarcasm) are my daily staples. Actually, if there's not, there should be a rule here where you never have to apologize for giving someone else crap about what they ride. No one is ever serious...unless you're riding a Harley.WickerMan wrote:That was for you Terry, you know I was just razzing you.

Speaking of Triumphs and the track...two days at Cresson another dude on a gold Speed Triple was riding...and just let me say he was still EMBARASSINGLY slow at the end of day 2. I think they 250's were passing him...in the straights. I wonder if it was the same dude. I'd hope he's picked up the pace some by now.

Re: Moderate ride Sunday November 1st
It was already raining here early this morning. I guess I should set my bike in the driveway and give it a wash.
