Hey echo, im not too far from you. if its dry out ill be riding tomorrow.
closest dealer to you would be FMS. Hotbrakes could take you on a tour of it, its basically his second home, at least he wishes it is.

I've got a lot going on tomorrow during the day, but should be done by 3 or 4 in the afternoon, if your interested in meeting up somewhere easy to find; and it's nice tomorrow... I did go for an hour ride or so today, was great.

(coming from south). they live behind the burlington there. i go up there often to visit. we should take a ride sometime. its much harder for me to get out and ride cause i usually work till 8-4pm or 10-6pm. and have two small kids. but it would be sweet

Ok, this weekend I think the weather REALLY will be nice. I'll probably ride both days, maybe an overnighter in the mountains. (We do ride VFR's after all, lots of luggage space). Or maybe a local Fred'burg ride Saturday and "the usual" ride out of Richmond on Sunday.
ECHO- Welcome aboard! At least welcome to the VA riders nook. You're just in time for the prime VFR riding season. Former Marine myself, looks like you have a whole family of them.

Saturday- Tentatively ~12pm at my house, destination Fred'burg, 99 miles of CURVES, and merely 1 mile of major highway. Time could change depending on several factors, but would probably be 1pm at the latest. Should be done with plenty of daylight left.
One six one one six tyler station rd beaverdam,va five for oh too too six zero three nine five Text if you're in!

Tomorrow's ride will begin at 0930 at Starbucks across from Short Pump Mall. High of 72, hoping to cover at least 300 miles and back to Richmond by dark.

Couldnt make it out on Saturday. I had some family in town to deal with. Sunday I went out and about with a friend. Ran up and down 211 a couple of times. There was only one spot that had some loose stuff on the road. Then we head out west and did some exploring. Ended up with about a 300 mile trip. I need to do something about my pegs. I scrapped both the left and right side feelers on the way up the mountain. Didn't really like the feel of the peg kicking up when all my weight is planted on said peg!

Really didnt find to much. The rider I had with me had to be back earlier than I had planned. So I couldn't get out to far. I should have headed south and met up with you guys. But most importantly this great day was not wasted!!

Unscrew them while you still can. Mine are snapped off. Now I will have to tap them to remove the stubs.

It was my pleasure, Ron. That's a beauty of a 25th anniversary model you have there. For the record, we rolled out of Fredericksburg and headed through the Chancellorsville battlefields. Through Richardsville and on through Edward's Shop to Remington. From there we hopped on down to Brandy Station past the Graffiti house and on to Stevensburg. Headed out through Batna and wound around to Lignum. Rode Rt. 3 back to Wilderness where we stopped for coffee to warm up. Good ride and good company. Sorry I had to cut it short to go clean house, but my Mom was coming for a visit and my wife would have had a conniption or two if I didn't pitch in and help. Next time we'll head for the Blue Ridge. |

You'll have to come down to my house, if the grinder can't take care of them I'm sure Rt. 56 can!

Looks like a high of only 58. Probably do some more parking lot stuff with emphasis on braking. Next Mon, Tues, and Wed are looking good though, should be in the 60's.

im REALLY surprised, but glad, that he didnt crash
you people and your "I" stickers maybe. i would prefer not to do a short ride though since it take 1.5 hours just to get there. have they started putting crap on the roads up there on the mountain yet?

Yeah, its this red gooey stuff followed by big brown piles that are usually off to the shoulder. You have to be careful though cause sometimes the piles are still moving and with no early warning red goo.
