Virginia Riders

Hotbrakes · 04-11-2008, 04:36 PM

I couldn't find a Virginia rider thread, so I figured I'd start one. I know there are a couple of you in VA and we should try to get together some now that the weather is beautiful.
Sunday 4/13, a few of us are meeting in Oilville near I64 to head to the mountains around 10am. Let me know if you wanna go.

I know one guy close to DC (Leesburg) but his VFR lives in PA now. I bought it last Sept. There is another guy in Haymarket VA (not far south of Leesburg). He goes by Zupatun on VFRD and also posts under his given name on the VFR email list. Both are great guys. I've known Zupatun longer and have ridden with him quite a bit over the years I've known him. We're planning to get together and ride to and at the COTU rally coming up next month. Zup's track bike is actually in my care as I'm writing this. I'm in the Pittburgh area.

Awesome ride yesterday. Sometimes its nice to ride when no one else is...panzies. That was one of the best rides I've ever been on. Usually riding that area consists of an hour of straight boring roads before we get to the twisties. Glad Steve knows his way around.

I saw some black clutch and brake master cylinders on ebay for about $30 each. Not a bad price for a cosmetic upgrade.

Keep Sunday open!

VA NTCPTR · 04-14-2008, 08:18 AM

Also let's not forget how great lunch was! I caught a little rain going through Orange county for a few minutes but the rest of the ride home was clear.
I am doing all of the wife's honeydo's on Saturday so Sunday is definitely open,this time without the bags!

Nitrousva · 04-14-2008, 08:56 AM

My wife and I would be interested too, we live in Richmond.

Hotbrakes · 04-16-2008, 05:43 AM

VA NTCPTR · 04-16-2008, 05:48 AM

No time to eat...too many good roads to ride. Kidding...we usually don't do breakfast together, maybe some coffee, then ride for a couple hours to a good restaurant in Lovingston.
If we ride with the Richmond Ryders, they usually meet at Quioccasin and Blue Jay Ln at a Brazilian restaurant.

PM your number and I'll call you once I figure something out.

Hotbrakes · 05-02-2008, 03:35 PM

Riding to the mountains out of Richmond tomorrow 5/3. PM if interested. 0930 at 522 and Huguenot Trail.

Hey, if you are out riding this weekend, I'm at work in PW. Stop by. My Viffer's up here with me. I'm at the fire station at 234 and Hoadly Rd. Swing in if you are out and about and ask for the guy with the bike.

bitterpil · 05-31-2008, 05:35 PM

I know where that is.
I'm not out and about today cause my allergies are KICKING my BUTT. I will proabably be out and about tomorrow. If or when I get out tomorrow, I will stop by the station.

Hotbrakes · 05-31-2008, 05:57 PM

Cool, I'm here til 6pm. We shouldn't be out on calls or anything.

bitterpil · 06-01-2008, 04:58 PM

I never made it out this weekend. I tried... But the swelling in my eyes was still to bad to go riding.

I went out. Trying to go from Laurel to Purcellville. I had to abort half way.
Allergies were killing me.

bitterpil · 06-01-2008, 07:10 PM

Sorry to hear that. THey do suk though don't they. In a few more weeks all the plants will stop mating and we'll be able to breath again and get out on these bikes.
