Any excuse to get out and ride is good enough for me. If the weather is nice enough, I'll try to leave work early to ride. My battery just crapped out, though, so it needs to be swapped :/

HR, you have broken me like a $5 hooker! I actually understand what you post without even thinking about it.

Can you ride a motorcycle and carry a gun? I heard that was against the law.

We don't care about no damn laws!

I've seen a bike with a stripper pole on the back but this is a first for me, a bike with a slide? Some nice looking bikes.

 

[redlined24]

it took me months to figure out how to mount that damn slide!

You know the best way to build a reliable bobber? Start with a reliable base bike. Seems you got that figured out.

I have ridden that gray/purple 750 from here to California and back and also from here to South Carolina and then the smokies Afew times. Made it from San fransisco to bloomington in 4 days and that's counting the time I spent on the side of I80 somewhere in Wyoming replacing a cam tower hahaha

I ride, 20k over last two summers. Was thinking there was a thread around here about an INGO bike meet.

I know some guys put a ride-n-shoot event last year. If you guys do anything like a ride to TN, I would definitely be willing to ride and meet you.

 

[Dirtebiker]

We did a ride and shoot two years in a row, then missed last year. If no one picks it up this year, I might organize it.

Is a ride and shoot anything at all like mounted archery? Because that is what comes to mind when I read that phrase.

One would think it would be much safer to stop the bikes first, but far be it from me to ruin your good times.

 

[Dirtebiker]

Laws, safety, blah, blah, blah!

new guy here from bloomington. anyone else on the forum into motorcycles too?? the weather is finally warming up and its time to get the bikes out.

Mine have been out for three weeks, once the ice is gone I can ride!

How is that any fun?

I've yet to master unholstering while riding, let alone firing an aimed shot at 60+mph. It's a problem because I'm right handed and have trouble maintaining speed with my hand off the throttle, and I refuse to get one of those chintzy throttle locks.

Shoulder surgery has me off my bike until June. I am starting to see lots of bikes on State Road 45 between Bloomington and Nashville......makes me really miss it.
