REVISED RIDE 8/26 - Hawk's Nest & Chicks on Bikes

[Onedwn5up]

OK. New thread as the other one had kind of a gay ring to it. Something about an "all-male ride" that just doesn't sound right. I mean, mostly every ride we go on is all guys but jeez, that just sounds gay. So how bout "We're going to go for a ride for a few hours then meet up with some chicks that are doing the "all-female-only" bike ride."? That sounds much better and even sounds like you might be able to meet a cute chick that rides a motorcycle. But if nothing else, it will be a good ride.

Check out the details below. -Eric

Meet up will be at the Dunkin' Donuts on Rt 23 North in Pompton Plains NJ. This is next to the Kawasaki Yamaha Sport Center and immediately after the Pompton Honda Suzuki Dealership. The address is: Dunkin' Donuts at 560 ROUTE 23, PEQUANNOCK, NJ 07440, USA 973-248-3380

Meet time will be 9:30 am. We will be out of there by 10:00am.
We will head north and hit a few roads on the way up towards port jervis.

We'll go up 23 to union valley road then we'll take clinton road back to rt 23. Then we'll head north a bit further to canistear road. We'll take that into highland lakes/vernon where it ends at rt 94. Then we'll take 94 back over to rt 23 where we'll head up to Hi-Point State Park. After hangning out up there for a few we'll head back through hi-point and make a right onto Deckertown Turnpike and take this through another part of Hi-point State Park/Stokes Forest. This goes up and over the mountains and will end up at Rt 206 on the other side. Then from there we'll go to the Junction and meet up with the girls that went on their ride. It is our goal to be at the Junction at 3PM.

I will adjust as time allows and maybe cut one of the roads out if need be. But basically, we are going off 23 then looping back to it twice. This should make for a much more fun ride than just a straight drone up rt 23 into Hi-Point.

This is what Tina, organizer of the all girls ride, had to say about the Junction since I have never been there, "the junction is a bar/resturant w/ game room. sometimes live bands, kareoke (sp?) it's a fun laid back place. the owner will give us drink specials but i don't want anyone to get drunk and drive, so take it easy when you get there. there is also a cheap hotel next door, so you can crash if you want to get piss ass drunk. lol."

The pace will be comfortable. Anyone can go as quick or as slow a you want and no one can really get separated from each other. Going up to Hi-Point is a pretty limited speed anyway since rt 23 has all the traffic lights and whatnot. When we group up in the morning I'll just need someone to volunteer to be the sweeper to know everyone is accounted for. But we won't be on a lot of separate roads. So it will be hard to lose everyone.

Wear gear if you got it. If not, I don't care. It's your skin. I don't want anyone riding a wheelie into my back though, so please keep your stuntin' in check. If you wheelie and shit, I don't care but the person next to you might. So just respect everyone elses safety and don't do stunts in places that will obviously bring the heat on us or run the risk of crashing someone else.

Let me know what you all think. -Eric

Why do you post the route? :huh:

[Onedwn5up]

Why do you post the route? :huh:
So everyone knows where we're going. Do you think there are cops monitoring this board to see where we're going to be riding or something? Or do you think people are going to poach these roads? I want everyone to know the ride the are planning to go on. I wouldn't expect people to show up and have no clue where they are being lead. Thats makes me think about the lemmings getting marched off the cliff into the sea.

[RAC]

I noticed a few people on here concerned about posting routes because of cops. I would think they have better things to do.

[Barbi]

just a question...

[Onedwn5up]

cops don't have to look for speeding motorcyclists or drivers. they just sit there and they come to them.

[Barbi]

what do you like better the 600rr or the rc? :)

[Onedwn5up]

two completely different animals. The 600RR is lighter, more flickable and overall easier to ride. But the RC is unique bike that just sounds so obnoxious its great. And the torque is a lot of fun. But it is more bike to muscle around for sure. But I like the way mine is set up. It's a super stiff bike that requires a purists attitude to really enjoy.

I have been thinking about this ride... I havent ridden in almost a week so I am going to try and make this one if I can drag somebody else up with me... I'll even volunteer to sweep, I prefer to stay in the back anyway, I am slow.... I also have a chatterbox so if anybody up front has one I can relay whats going on...

sounds good

[Onedwn5up]

Sounds good to me as well. Just see me in the morning.

I'll more than likely be on a BMW K1200S instead of my RC. I was looking forward to riding the RC but it's all apart on the work bench. I hate troubleshooting electrical issues.I thought I had it fixed yesterday but it turned out to be something else. The bmw is sick fast though and it has adjustable push-button preload controls so I can stiffen it up in sport mode or put it on comfy for bumpy roads at a slower pace. It's kinda like riding a luxury version of a hayabusa.

What do you need to drag anyone up there with you for? Since you're coming from the Monmouth area just load your bike up in your truck or trailer and drive up here. We'll be meeting in a big lot and you can just leave your truck there. This is of course assuming you have a truck or trailer....

[Onedwn5up]

who's the jerk with moderator rights fucking with my post?

[ffejtable]

WHAT!?? trailer my bike to ride it? hell no!

I just prefer to have somebody else to ride up with, dunno... dont think I have ever done it any other way :) I have a few people in mind. :)

[causef0rconcern]

I might be down for this ride...and I promise I won't bring any fresh calamari this time

[SAXON117]

probably be there

[ambitious1]

I might be down for this ride...and I promise I won't bring any fresh calamari this time


hahaha good shit, dude. :roflmao:

[jp182]

i might be down for this. i'm having major trouble getting my wheels back on after i did a tire change :(

[causef0rconcern]

Whats the problem with the wheels?

[Onedwn5up]

Found and fixed the problem with the rc51 tonight. WooHoo! Broken wire going into the ecu that controls the throttle positioning sensor. So I might be able to ride that bike after all. Sucks that I had to take apart the whole thing to find one broken wire.

Now we just need to pray for sun.

[RAC]

Is there a rain date for this?????

[gottaducati]

where does this ride end up - back at dunkin donuts?

[Onedwn5up]

Well, it looks iffy at the moment but the doplar doesn't look bad. Bt that doesn't mean it can't change by tomorrow morning.

Tina mentioned a rain date of Septemeber 9th to me but if this doesn't happen this weekend I am not sure if I am going to be able to participate. I have a race weekend on the 9th or a giants game...One of the two. I have to look at my calendar but I know I have something going on then.

Lets just keep our fingers crossed and see what happens.

[RAC]

What if it is cloudy at 930am and there is a 40% or greater chance of rain? Still show or will you post in the morning if it is on or not?

[JimRBlue]

I will be in for this one. I am hoping for 30% or less chance of rain.

[Rev]

the 9th be my paintball date..lots of peeps won't be able to go...lol

[Liltenatattoo]

we will post up in the morning if the ride is on or not, by 8am it will be decided. and we can always change the rain date rev. since people already have $ on the paintball thing. but i'm still hoping its good. this ride will end at the junction on 206 in newton.

[ffejtable]

I am out of this one.. took the bike out of the basement tonight and the front tire was flat... I really dont want to be riding that far from home with a questionable "tire"... im 99% sure its a bent/cracked rim... GRRRRRRRR :mad:

[Onedwn5up]

I'll be out in the morning as long as its relatively dry.

[Liltenatattoo]

RIDE IS CANCELLED DUE TO SHITTY WEATHER!!! :doh:
Post up what dates would be good for you. I know sept. 9th isn't good for a rain date due to people having already paid for the paintball event.

so no whoring, just post up a date please!

[d3L]

This sucks. I was really hoping to be there. Well, if it clears out today, I'll definitely be riding in the West Milford area (Skyline, Grnwd Tpk, Union Valley) + 208, 287, 23, 80. I'm on a silver CBR so honk 3 times if you see me, I'll pull over ;)


What about the week before 9th - the Labor Day weekend?

I'll be in the area, so I'm available. That's 2-4th September.


Have a fantastic weekend! ;)

[sonny]

Canceled? It's raining its ass of.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND, OR LABOR DAY RIDE!!!!!!

[jp182]

Whats the problem with the wheels?

when i put the front wheel on and put the nut on, the wheel won't spin. it looks like the rotor is right up against the front fork for some reason.

And i'm just having a terrible time getting the rear wheel on

[JimRBlue]

Any date works for me

[causef0rconcern]

Rotor agains the fork? Sounds kinda serious haha.

I'm down for any weekend that isn't next Sunday.

[Onedwn5up]

[RAC]

[Shelly]

[Liltenatattoo]

How about the 10th people??? Someone might have to lead this ride on the 10th, but the female ride might be going down on the 10th. ladies see other forum please.

[EuniceEstelle]

ooo i didn't miss this big ride! i will be able to make it this weekend!

[Onedwn5up]

I might be able to lead this still on the 9th. The 10th is no good since it's the Giants first home game and I am sure some will have their day planned around that.

[Liltenatattoo]

eric why don't u start a pole. lol.

[RAC]

This is supposed to be a male ride. Why are the females in here???

[Liltenatattoo]

oh shit we don't have penis's sorry! we'll keep out. hehehehe.
