I would love to get my hands on that!

That would mean you actually make it to a ride

What time would departure be, and what is the planned arrival time at the sack location?

Yes, moderate all day. Still leaving sonic at 9 or meet up with us at Santo around 9:45.

the ride is slabbing it out to fm 4 where we will head up to palo pint so i can grab my sack. This is where i will split off and head back down 4 to i-20 back home( i need to be in denton asap). The rest of the peeps will continue on matts route and their ride will end around 3-4pm ish.

I'm in. Seeing if Bryce wants to go as well.

Post by **milesmiles** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 11:45 am

is this in like the last one you said you were in for where you really weren't in for?

Bewst · Post by **Bewst** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 11:48 am

Pretty sure I've only said in if I was making it for sure. All my other times were maybe's cause I never set an alarm and if I happened to wake up by then I would go. Hell, I was just going to support you getting your sack back....now I just wanna hit you in your sack

Breaking in new shoes for the first time. How careful do I need to be? Heard they'll be slippery for the first 200ish miles

Post by **milesmiles** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 12:58 pm

You will be perfectly fine. Shouldn't be any worries at all.

Post by **DarcShadow** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 1:05 pm

It varies from tire to tire, I think 200 miles is a bit high. Basically what your doing is getting the coating on the tires wore off. 20 or 30 miles would probably be enough if you could have the entire surface of the tire touching the ground.

With this being a moderate ride it'll be a good run for new tires. Enough twisties to get some lean in, but not high enough speeds to get crazy.

Rhino · Post by **Rhino** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 1:23 pm

You also need to get a couple heat cycles into new tires before they grip the best. I think that's where the 200 miles comes from.

My last 2 sets of tires were installed right before track days. The first I got a few heat cycles in on the highway before I loaded the bike to go to the track. The most recent I just rode like a hobby-horse (gas, brake, gas, brake) from the paddock down to the gas station and back.

For street riding you really don't need to care. Just don't push the tires too hard (which you won't on a moderate ride) and you'll be fine.

A buddy of mine from work said he was going to do the ride with us. His name is Jonathan and will more than likely be on his Ninja 650R. Believe it's red. Give him the finger and tell him to get lost if I'm not there when he gets there...just kidding...

Good ride today, thanks to Dave and Matt for setting that up. It's always more fun to ride with people. Sadly for some strange reason they didn't have my bag....WTF The owner was very nice about it and said he would mail it to me if they found it. I know for a fact they had it at one time and i'm not blaming them, but someone there has my bag and until i get it back i won't be giving them any of my money. Thanks for everyone who came out and to the new guys!!!
