Puc, I feel your pain. I watched the weather reports all last night and today. Just got back from a quick 50 mile trip...stayed dry, too. We'll try again, soon. |

it definitely rained up here but if the route itself was clear I would have toughed it out for the trip down 95. Anyone else find it ironic that the badweatherbikers cancel a ride due to rain? haha |

Puc, Now that's funny right there. We could rename the website "badweatherbikers unless its raining and you want to do 45 mph in the twisties" forum. |

Anyone that wants to and can ride on a Monday night: I'm leaving from work (1000 Samoset Drive, Newark, DE 19713) at 7:00pm on Monday the 13th of September to go to the last bike night of the season at Top Dog in Cherry Hill, NJ. http://www.topdogcherryhill.com/bikenight/index.ht ml I went a few times last year. All kinds of bikes and some of the nicest work you'll see done to them. All are welcome to ride along or meet me there. |

I could probably meet up with you somewhere in between - I'm in Wilmington. I assume you go up 95? |

Ratbastard, Yep, 95N then over the DE Mem Bridge and up through NJ. We can meet on the side of the Highway or just off the highway at Mikes or something similar. What do you think? http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=1 000+Samoset+Dr,+Newark,+DE+19713&daddr=39.87144,-7 5.03405+to:2310+Marlton+Pike,+Cherry+Hill,+NJ+0800 2-3309+(Top+Dog)&hl=en&geocode=FdeHXQIdNUZ9-yllJYwH5wDHiT HBrcT4BmO7Yg%3BFdBjYAIdPhKH-ylJTCt3SMzGiTE4qfjyE3V ezQ%3BFQc3YQIdsd2G-yF15KhwUUT8ZSlXOa5iwsvGiTFw1KgF zZArsg&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=10&via=1&sll=39.80 5371,-75.357971&sspn=0.435709,0.823975&ie=UTF8&z=1 0 |

Terp, I'd like to go but don't have the time free (other commitments). Is Jason still riding the BMW? (Message edited by Ratbastard on September 03, 2010) |

Rat, sounds good. I leave my desk at 7. I am on the bike and rolling by 7:03. I can be to Mikes H/D in about 10 mins unless there are other people that are riding with me that I'm trying not to leave behind. |

Terp, I'm bummed that I missed the ride. The weather was perfect. I was fishin 15 miles out of OC MD - caught some nice sea bass and a few blues. |

Maybe I'll change my screen name to Bitter Bastard ... here's an article that I'm sure many of you have seen about HD's future, finances and its foresight when it dropped Buell... http://hellforleathermagazine.com/2009/10/harley-d idnt-calculate-savings-before-killing-buell-hopes- business-as-usual-leads-to-financial-recovery/ |

Rockfish, Not fair while us working folk are in our cages...you are out playing around on the Uly, on Rte 543. Tried the motorcycle wave...in the cage...guess it did not work. |

can anyone tell me where the ride is this weekend ? I hooked up with Terp and some others near Annapolis last Sunday for a nice ride. Not so nice for the guy that wadded up his Ducati, but nice for the rest of us. He looked to be OK. I can't find any info on the ride and don't know how to get back there as Terp is at the Dragon this week. I'm coming from Fallston north of Baltimore. I was on the red and black CR with the front end problem for those that might have been there. |

I made it back from the Dragon...did my best to slay it and shred the tridents on the Pirelli's. Played on Virginia's Rte 58 on the way down. NC's Rt 28...and part of the Blue Ridge Parkway on the way home. I used recent MSF's Advanced Riders Course on the way down. A tanker truck decided to pull out onto a divided highway and take up both lanes. Quick braking..swerve to a sad excuse of a gravel shoulder...then to sloped grass median. Both wheels stayed right side down. Thanks MSF. |
