This is part of the "Who am I?" riding relay game located here: http://www.motorcyclealabama.com/rides/index.php?topic=903.0

Well @kylepeterson and I really already know as much as we want to about each other but no one else seems to be taking the bait!!

We plan to meet at: Chick-fil-a https://www.google.com/maps/place/Chick-fil-A/@33.3328979,-86.7873627,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x888923a13e556dc5:0xd19e846499674dab!8m2!3d33.3333833!4d-86.7856622?hl=en

Arrive around 7:00 to 7:30 if you want breakfast with kickstands up at 8:00am!

We will have a spirited pace as we navigate the Gonzo Route made famous by @rmcelroy  ending in Leeds at The Bike Shop for the Gymkhana
http://www.motorcyclealabama.com/rides/index.php?topic=2754.0



Anyone is welcome to join on any bike (street legal) and any skill level. Riders should plan to ride at their own pace and we will wait for each other at turns to ensure the group stays together.

The Gonzo route has some great roads and hopefully traffic will be minimal this early.

I hope some of you newer members try to make this so I can pass the baton to someone I haven't met or ridden with before!

nice.  I cannot usually do Saturday mornings, but I will see if I can get a permission slip signed...

I'm in. Still got some tread on the leaned over section. Plus I need to practice stuff for the upcoming California super bike school.

should be a really fun way to start the day. I rode it last night and the temperature changes over every rise were exhilarating.

every Leo I saw was the opposite way, like their lady friend was hopping the sack with the football team...
just give 'er the berries !

Going to be a little brisk but comfortable at 50 degrees around 7am. See you fools at Chick-fil-a.

@IceCold4x4 will no doubt, be enjoying his heated grips!

good ride guys.  it was nice seeing some new faces.   

oh, yours too, Kyle...    ;D

IceCold4x4

Ditto. Had a great time. Never imagined I would ever have to work to try to keep up with a dual sport on a curvy Road

neat ride today, sure felt good cruising through the curves.

the group of pirates in my lane on 25 was eye opening though, damn keep it on your half people !

It was a great ride!

Pictures and video are still in the cutting room!

@rmcelroy was out there hurting feelings on a dual sport with 60/40 tires (those tires were begging for mercy) thanks for leading us on your route!

@kylepeterson really enjoyed his time getting to know the pirates and watching me abuse my clutch as we meandered down 25

@IceCold4x4 got every last mm of wear from his tires and made our ears bleed once or twice

Kurtis and Wes aren't on the forum but I am working on that! They had a blast meeting and riding with the group!

I will get some super moto tires back on my bike, and we can go out and have a good time on some river roads.  :D

Let me know when you get the tires and we will have a garage party to put them on!
