Hope you all know the Hwy 52 Gang...they may not ride on Hwy 52 where you live...but I hope you met them. The story goes like this......

Sunday (the first day I have had off in ages) Most of the people I know don't ride sportbikes...and none of the usual suspects wanted to ride....so I pulled a Jim Kirk...I took off >>>>>>that-a-way.

I ended up cruising around in some pretty rural areas....I got on Highway 52....down the road a piece, I spotted a diner that had a few sportbikes sitting there...so I stopped to get a bite and chat with the "locals"...when I went in a group of 8 were sitting around a table with breakfast and coffee...(it was 8:00am)...when I walked up, one of the guys said "hey that is a fine sounding Lightning" and told me to sit.

So I sat...and had breakfast and we all chatted about bikes and racing and Rossi's broken leg and such....When they got ready to go they invited me along....I rode trail and had a good time...all on roads I had never even seen before...we rode for about 2 hours and stopped at a truck stop that had a huge space set aside for bikers to use...it was cool...and there were a lot of bikes...mostly sport bikes...and nearly a dozen Buells...

The guys were impressed that I kept up (It was at times pulse pounding...but Jezebel never let me down...These guys were friendly, knowledgable and fast...there was a sweet RC-51 and some R-1's and a couple of GIXXERs and a real nice Triumph triple...all modded, all fast, all with shredded tires ; )...before we went our ways....I was invited to ride with them any time....there are some way cool roads up that way...once I learn 'em it will be even better.

They will be on Hwy 52 Sunday Mornings.

Hope you all meet the Hwy 52 Gang.

I ride hwy 52 all the time here in Ky. But my gang consists of just me mostly, it is a great road, and I very rarely see another sportbike.
