Clinton Road - Sportbike Addicts

The other night I hit Clinton road for the first time on the SV and first time in many years. Its of Route 23 by West Milford and ends up on Warwick Turnpike. I forgot how many turns there are on that road! And it seems like a good portion of it was just paved

I think it is one of my top 5 favorate roads in Northern Jersey! My only complaint was I had my dark smoke shield on and it just as it started to get dark, thank God I had my glasses on

sweet road and to hear its paved might mean a ride back up north to relive some memories. That was part of me "growing up" on bikes. All my friends and I crashed or at went off that road...it was a right of passage. How stupid we were. I think its about the fourht or so turn in off of 23, a right decreasing curve...yep I remember that curve LOL

I think that's the turn that I crashed on....goes up slightly..then banks down right pretty hard...

oh yes that curve LOL I came smoking into that one a tad faster then I should have, made it through just fine just didn't exspect it to tighten up that fast.

I think I'll be hitting the road again this weekend

Careful folks - I think that's the road that claimed three
bikes in one turn a few weeks back on the "Bear Mountain" ride.
Fun road, but with a few surprisingly tight turns.
Sounds like fun to me...

Spend the couple of bucks and take it to Washington Cycle works on RT31 in Washington. That should be about 15 miutes north of you. I'm sure there are many who will agree on this. The best money you spend on you bike. I think they charge 35-45 bucks. Check it out.(908)835-0043 ask for Ron.

yeah i actually went there after i did the front end swap, but when i told him it was a new front end, different sized tires front and rear, different shock, he told me he couldnt do too much without the mesaurements of the stock/gsxr forks and shock. so ive been meaning to measure everything or find specs so i can bring it back. i may actually go saturday morning
