I may be in, too early to tell. I will check with the lady tonight. I have the UFC fight on saturday but it doesn't start til like 7 or so. Anyone check the weather report for temps this weekend? I assume it should be low 50's by the time we hit Yarnell and the Spars.

As you know I will be in as long as we arent having my brothers B-day party that day at my house. Right now, I have no clue what he is doing. I hear the weather will be nice for the rest of the week. And also for the westsiders, you can come watch UFC at my house if you like. It will be crowded, but the more the better. Bring your own alcohol if thats what you drink. We will order pizza and wings and soda.

Yahoo weather says 80's for the weekend, so make sure you have a place to stuff your sweater if you bring one. Also, if Brazil comes, make sure you EX-LAX yourself the night before so we don't have to wait 15 minutes for you to power dump at another gas station. LOL!

I am going to be making this ride as well, I will meet you guys in Wickeburg at 10ish at the same Gas station as last time. For any East of South side riders, post up so we can cruise out there together. I live in Ahwatukee.

BrazilJiuGixxu

Ya, Im in. Will meet you guys at Safeway. And could someone from the east side pleas ride with Loms.. he is very lonely.

loms1977
02-03-2006, 01:07 AM
I am not certain about this ride.....to be honest, and I want some honest replies, I have not felt comfortable on the bike the last 2 days. For some reason I feel that I am lacking something, my throttle control is not consistent, my overall feeling for my bike is not up to par. Today I decided to ride in to work and after only a mile or two I felt like I needed to be off the bike. WTF?

Here are my thoughts.....
1) Bike has been sitting for 2 weeks and I am certain the air pressure is off from my usual ride psi. This could cause an un-easy feeling while riding. I should have checked air pressure before riding in to work today.

2) I haven't been on the bike for 2 weeks.

3) It is all in my head, I took a 90 degree sweeper this morning like usual, other than it being cold out, I went through the same line, same speed and had no trouble but felt that I blipped the throttle for some reason.

4) Should I make this ride?

Post up some honest answers, I am a very confident rider, I am more than capable on a bike, on my bike, but should I ride the spars if I feel this way tomorrow?

dragon1000
02-03-2006, 01:32 AM
Well here is the deal,if I felt like that the day of the ride I would still go,but I would ride easy just to get my groove back.

Another thought is ever since I had my bike set up at the track to my height and weight my bike handles so much better.So u may think about having that done.

Two weeks off of your bike could throw u off your groove so if u go just take it easy I know I will be my tires are done so ill be in the back of the pack

I will be bringing a new guy along he has a 2000 GSXR and my friend from the first time we all road up there will be going also

so if everyone from the west side does go it should be 5 of us meeting u guys in wickenburg

BrazilJiuGixxu
02-03-2006, 01:39 AM
LOL at all the excuses of why im gonna kill all yer arses tomorrow...hahahah

BrazilJiuGixxu
02-03-2006, 01:40 AM
but really, if you feel weird about it. ya I would still go but not push myself. Just make sure to do a good checkup on the bike before you go so you feel confident in the bike.

loms1977
02-03-2006, 01:56 AM
I am pretty sure I am going to make it, I will meet you folks in Wickenburg around 10, I think I will be solo.

I am going to have my bike set-up by the suspension peeps at the track on the 5th or the 12th. I just checked my air pressure here at work, for my rides up north I run 34/32 and on the street 34/34 and my pressures this morning were 30/30 so that would tell me why I thought the bike was pushing.

dragon1000
02-03-2006, 05:05 AM
Hey Loms glad ur still going to go.

Just take it easy make sure everything is in line.

Loms y don't u call Mark see if he wants to go.I have not seen a post from him in awile.

For the rest of the pack ill check the forum tonight to see if everyone is still going or pussin out.

loms1977
02-03-2006, 05:41 AM
Mark is still unpacking from his move, he might not have the computer up and working. I have text messaged him twice, have not heard from him. I know he is alive because I hear him on the radio everyday.

If you guys don't mind, I'd like to go along. Just moved to AZ from Ca. I'm up in Prescott , so I'll come down to Wickenberg at 10am. Where is the Shell?

iluvdagxr
02-03-2006, 10:42 AM
The shell is on the south side of the bridge when you get into downtown, right next to a taco bell so you can't miss it. I think I need to reduce the tire pressures also so I don't get that rear end slip this time when I am banking over. I'll probably be a bit faster than last time though.

dragon1000
02-03-2006, 10:42 AM
Of course u can come.

The shell station is the bigger of the two when u first get into Wickenburg.

My cell# is 6233377854 call and we will see u there

loms1977
02-03-2006, 02:44 PM
Mark is meeting me at 830 so we will see you at 10 in wickenburg.

The station we are meeting at is the larger of the two stations next to Taco Bell in front of a car dealership. I do not think it is a shell station. My number is 602-568-1657. It is the biggest station in Wickeburg on the right side of the road heading north.

Great ride today gang. Glad to see some new faces and cool to meet everyone.

I will try to get on the boards more often. We are in limbo until the tile, carpet and counter tops are finished.. so until then I will be checking once in a while via laptop or at work.

Loms... lines looked great today so it seems all is good. I bet the few lbs from the tires made all the difference in the world. It does the same to me every once in a while.

I'll put up the pics as soon as I find my usb cable for my camera.

Mark - thanks, I was trying to work on my turn entry (apex) etc., switched up the riding position a bit more and pushed a little more into the corners trying to get more lean angle, seemed to be working.

Great Ride, nice to see a larger group than the 4 of us.

Great ride, a little more practice & I'll be keepin' up with pack. Good to meet all you guys though, It was fun riding with such a large group.

Brazil... I ended up passing out when I got home I was exhausted. I heard Liddel knocked Cotour in to retirement. Hopefully they'll play it on spike soon.

loms1977
02-06-2006, 03:03 AM
Where are the pictures guys?

Randy looked good for the first few minutes, held his ground, very patient. He slipped and Liddell took advantage of an un-guarded jaw, it was all over.

Some good fights last night. Lots of blood.

These tires nealy turn the bike for you and boy do they grip on the turns.

Any of you guys going to go spectate or race on the 12th.

Anyways I think I got the perfect name foe the crew.

INFINATE RIDERS.

so pefect since it seems like we can ride all year round here in phoenix.

BrazilJiuGixxu
02-06-2006, 08:37 AM
Couture wasnt going toe to toe, but he was effectivly countering and waiting for the right time to take him down. In the last fight, he got too rushed and it cost him. This time he was sticking to his gameplan and it was working well till he slipped. And that was all Chuck needed.

loms1977
02-06-2006, 08:52 AM
Dragon - it is spelt "Infinite" ya jacka$$!

I like it, but am still not sure. I will try and come up with a few. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
