Okak guys here it is nice and early so everyone can make plans to do this ride.


This one is set for the globe run so plan on it being nice and early since its getting kinda of toasty.

Also plan on a long run becuse I think it takes a while to get out there.


West side guys will meet at the same spot as always.From there We can decide whwere to meet everyone else.

Lets make this one count since all of us have not ridden todether in awile.

Let me hear your input guys!

I think Im good to go, especially since I didnt get to make this one. But will know more during the week.

hey my name is billy, i have been looking for some new people to ride with, so if i can get off work i will go. :)

Got Tool the night before but I'm definitely in for it. Was going to make the run today but didn't get finished painting the downstairs until later this afternoon.

No plans as of now so it looks like I am in unless things change like they did this past weekend. I was at a wedding Saturday night and was in no shape to ride this morning. On another note, I did manage to bounce the bike off the 186/187 mph indicator for a second or two last week (in a controlled environment of course).

:(Sorry Billy. We just dont have any more room in the group for another rider. We have got the gammut covered with experienced guys like loms and Mark, intermediat guys like myself and iluvda, and new guys like Newb and Dragon. But if you promise to bring an extra roll of toilet paper for me I would be willing to trade one Dragon for a Billy.:D

Now that's funny.

Let the trash talking begin:hammer

:spit :spit :spit

There is always room for another member of the AZ Gixxer Crew.

...:biggrin:biggrin:biggrin

Right now it's looks like I'm out on this one. But we'll see once we get closer to ride day. :(

Yeah, I'm out I got the family breakfast sunday morning for an early moms day surpirise. You guys have fun & ride safe, please bring Brazil some t.p. as this looks like a long ride. :lol :lol :lol

its not a long ride, it is 50 miles to Globe and another 30 to SRC. For the west siders, it is probably 30 miles to the meeting point off Idaho Road and US60. Round trip would be less than a trip to the spars.

yeah, maybe this time he won't have to take 3 shits in 15 minutes. LOL!

Brazil should buy stock at Charmin:lol

Oh I see, everyone gangs up on me now??? I did iluvda a favor and didnt put him in the same group with newb and dragon and this is how he repays me??

well, for the westsiders it is actually more like 60 miles to idaho rd. it takes us a good 45 min at least to get there. But Im in for the ride. hey i might bring another guy with us.. he doesnt have a gixxer but it IS a suzuki. the new boulavard M109R. it's a beast.. but not sure if he wants to go yet.

Well as it looks,the west side guys can meet at the Safeway gas stationon the corner of Litchfield Rd. and Waddell rd at 7:30a.m. then we should be able to meet the rest of the pack somewhere in the east side,Loms any ideas where?

I am in forsure so it time for me to really break these pilot powers in:oogle .

hey dragon, have you ridden twisties with em yet? I was getting al the way over in the turns with way more confidence than the stockers when newb and i were in the spars.

Brazil, hey, I took all the abuse last time so now it's your turn again. LOL!

Lets meet at Idaho Rd and the US60 at the only gas station there. It is on the north side of the freeway at 8am. Plan on departing at 815. My cell is 602-568-1657. Trip is very easy into Globe, run SRC a few times and then back into Globe for lunch. Should be back by 2ish.

Again, meeting on Sunday at 8am at US60 & Idaho Rd.

Brazil - bring whomever you want, just remind them that if they want to ride with us they best wear gear or we will turn them around.

I haven't been on in a month, after the untimely departure of my 750... and bad news i picked up an r6 last night, too good of a deal to pass up, long story short but after riding it back here from Tucson i can say its junk next to the 750. Can i bring it????

BTW r6 for sale ;)

Ya, the guy wears a helmet for sure. I dont know if he has leathers though since he just picked it up. I will tell him he needs to wear some kind of jacket if he wants to go with us.

I know the meeting spot since that is the way out to Tortilla. So Dragon wont get lost riding with me. Dragon, if we are gonna meet them at 8, we should leave Safeway by 7:15 just to be safe.

I guess 1stof could ride with us too even though its a yammy. I mean, we do believe in charity right?

I heard the old r6 handles prety well in the turns, but the acceleration is still bleh. You better get rid of that quick so you can get one of dem newfangled 750's.

No problem new meeting is set for 7:00am to depart no later than 7:15am.

All bikes are welcome,but loms is right they need to have gear to ride:cheers

I'll meet the gang at Idaho and the 60 for I only live an exit or two away. Finally a ride on my side of town.

Loms I'll call you before the ends of the week.

Damn, I don't want to miss out on this ride. It sounds like everyone is going. :crying

The r6 (2005) does turn great, real quick responsive handling, but the power just isn't there.. kinda reminds me of one of those electric bicycles ;) at least it looks a little cooler.. in terms of gear i got helmet and gloves anybody got a jacket for cheap?

My buddy can kick my ass around the track all day on his 99 R6, now he can kick my ass even more with his new 06 R6. They are sweet rides.

Wow I ust got done watching the replay of SUdays AMA superbike race and what do you knoe the GSXR-1000 took first and second.

BUt then i watched the 600cc race and those R-6 kicked everyones ass.

damn, 7am on my only day off. I'm out.

Here is one for ya, iluvda:crying:crying:crying:crying:crying:crying:c rying, my only day off...:crying:crying:crying, need beauty sleep...:crying:crying:crying:crying, got ran over by a barrel:crying:crying:crying:crying... hahahhaha

My buddy said he is coming. He has his helmet already. His leather jacket is on order and will be bit before he gets it, but he is gonna borrow a denim jacket for the ride. I told him that would be cool just as long as he had no exposed skin.. I figured denim is good enough for the legs, so why not.

1stof, can you borrow some kind of jacket from someone? Hey, I know someone complaining about getting up too early that might let you borrow his....:lol:lol:lol

wait wait wait, this coming from the guy who, last week said, "I'm all in!" and then the next day was like, boohoo, my head hurts. LOL! :flipoff Sorry dude, I'm sick and my allergies are killing me every day at work. You and I have the most back and forth fun around here. :thumbup

ok.. tru tru...you got me there...hahaha

new guy chiming in...
I'd like to go but I work sundays. (so take a day off right?)
My work requires min 30 day advance notice on requests for days off.
So... I can't make this one either.

I do have Fri/Sat off.
Anyone that can't make the Sunday, up for a ride on Fri/Sat?

it's all good!

Awww come on Iluvda we are meeting everyone at 8:15.:mad

Trust me we have all seen you and no matter how much you look at it,you can get all the beauty sleep but you are still going to be damn ugly:lol .

So sack up and ride:cheers

By the way There will be a new guy joining us,he doesnt have internet but he will be coming.

8:15? You just said 7:15 up der. :wtf Make up your damn mind! LOL! :flipoff

Yeah the west side guys are meeting at 7:15 to be up on US60 and Idaho rd by 8:15

Ok everyone needs to post up by Saturday to see who is in and who is out.

That way we know forsure who to wait for.

Im in for sure, barring any more migranes...hehe And my buddy on the Boulavard is in also.

i'm in for 8am, but if it changes to 7:15 again I'ma be pissed fo sho! LOL!

Ya, you just need to be at Idaho Rd and the 60 by 8:00. Us westsiders have to leave a little early to get there by then.

I will be there, strep throat and all....

mmm, strep throat. I remember the days. You better not pass that shit around. I am already sick and sneezing from allergies as it is.

I'll be there +1, a honda guy... but he's an ex motocross racer, and absolutely screams on a street bike... he's riding a 95 cbr 900 and just smokes me, hope somebody on a gixxer can show him whats up

Yeah the new guy That is coming with has a 600 Kawa so we will se what is up.

So bring your A game

I'm in for this ride foresure.

Brazil I'll see u at the Safeway gas station on Litchfield and Cactus(haha just kidding)the one on Litchfield and waddel at 7a.m

LOL! Don't do that to brazil, you'll give him a migraine again. :crying LOL! :D

hahaha.. funny guys. What is up with all you guys bringing outsiders to a Suzuki ride? My friend may not be riding gixxer, but at least its a Suzuki.

Honda this, Kawa that. Yammy over here.. what the hell? Is this America or something?

We are just giving Brazil a chance to be faster than the rest of the other bike:hammer

PLease ,Please Brazil don't let us down:lol :lol :lol Or else:grrr ...

Who wants to bet that Mark is 2 hung over after the Tool concert to ride tomorrow? :cheers

good for him if he is, prob be more fun than riding back into town in 95-100 degree weather.

See u guys in the morning:)

ya, whatever

no call from Mark so far.....see you guys in the am

hopefully i don't wake up late.

I hope everyone made it home okay. It was a great ride today and had a lot of fun and good to see the familiar faces and nice to meet the new ones. Here are some of the pic's I took today.

Here's some more...

hmmm... I dont remember seeing any of that...

Anyways, Im home in one piece. Who was it that said it would cost the same in gas to just go get someones truck? I call BS!!! There is no way that if someone went home and got their truck and came back and brought me to AJ that it would have cost $437. In fact, I bet it would have cost half that to bring me ALL the way back to El Mirage... but NOOOOOOOOO! Im $437 poorer now. The least you can do is send someone to my corner this week while I turn tricks for extra money on Van Buren. BASTARDS!!! I hope you were all cramped and your knees hurt when you got home.

That is all.

nah, but my ass was really numb. at least you didn't get butt raped by the tow truck driver allah DELIVERANCE.

Wow,well at least the tow truck didn't try to get fresh with u.:yumyum

But any ways,it was a great ride:biggrin

I take 3 things from this towing lesson......

1)we all need to become AAA members.

2)for $437 we no longer will be using tow trucks, someone will fetch the closest truck and the rider down will reimburse gas + pizza & beer. The way I figured, at 15mpg for most large trucks, 250 mile round trip a $150 gas bill would be must less than $437 tow bill.

3)this tow truck driver was EXTREMLY polite and showed genuine concern for the bike and making sure it was cared for the way a rider would want, this would be hard to come by again in an unfortunate situation. If you consider the type of tow you MAY have had compared to this one, be glad about that.



Overall, GREAT ride, I liked the higher speeds but if anything bad ever did happen it would be twice as bad as in the spars. Good to see everyone again, RICK - thanks for meeting us out there.

On a serious note, read on the PSC board a rider was killed at the top of the spars. RIP

I about fell over when I was on the phone with the tow driver and he estimated $450, glad it worked out ok... That was an awesome ride, look forward to it again.

Side note- whenever you think your a badass and you get passed on the outside by someone riding 2 up its time to step it up ;)

Sounds like you guys had a blast, minus the tow truck adventure. Sucks I had to miss out. You guys should of called my ass depending on what time it was I might have been able to help out.

Side note- whenever you think your a badass and you get passed on the outside by someone riding 2 up its time to step it up ;)



LMAO - that shocked the hell out of me to see you railing 2 up in the sweepers. I am a tight twisties person myself, have lots to learn in the sweepers. You 2 should have stuck around for the laps up the hill, it was great riding, no LEO's anywhere and pretty light traffic.

Thanks again for calling in the tow truck for Brazil.

Ya 1stof.. thanks for that.

Maybe we can run tortilla sometime soon once I get my bike fixed. Now I got to figure out how to get my bike from my mom's to my side of town to a shop. I think Im gonna try to get it to Apache since it's the closest really to my house besided Metro Motorsquids.

Well my bike is down,I had to take it to the shop as well.

No idea wwhat is wrong with it,it feels as the throtle is slipping,the rpm go up but I get a dealayed response.:mad

Bummer to hear about that Dragon. I just hate knowing something is wrong with a bike, but not knowing exactly what it is. Ruins the riding for sure.

On a little bit of a good note, I called Farmers Insurance, that covers my truck but not my bike. They said I do have towing insurance that will even cover my bike. Unfortunately it will only cover $150 max per tow. But that is better than nothing. And then also I can use it to get my bike to a shop. The sooner the better, cause my truck uses alot more gas than my bike.

Brazil - that is good news.

Dragon - is your bike under warranty still? If not, take it to ECS and have them do the work and throw it on the dyno for a custom map while your at it.

let us know what is wrong with both the bikes.

Good to hear everyone made it back safe... sucks about the tow. I'm signing up for AAA this coming week and we should be able to use that next time. Need to read the fine print.

Replacing coils this week as well so know the deal about bike doing weird stuff and not sure what it was. Went through a few jet adjustments to figure that one out. Interested to hear what the dealio is with both your guys bikes.

Look forward to the next run. Great to meet the new folks and good to see the crew.

Forgot to mention Will (the guy riding 2 up) and i were racing stop light to stop light as we got back close into town and his bike turned off like brazil's in the middle of one of these sprints.. fuel injection light blinking red, we shut it down a few minutes then started right up, no more problems rest of the way home but I'm sure he'd be anxious to hear your diagnosis when you find out.

This makes me think it's a heat issue. Fuel might be getting too hot... not sure but a lot of the reason why I have a heat shield on my oiler.

Interested to hear what it does come out to be.

That is odd, I wonder if it is a common problem with 05 and newer gixxer 1K's.

man, makes me wonder also. I wish I had left a key with my mom so she could try to start it now. But i did try to start it once we got to my moms also and it didnt work. Now I found out my insurance WONT cover my tow so now i have to figure out how to get it to the shop. Anyone have a ramp and tie downs I could borrow? Id like to do it early Sat. morning and just leave it at the shop

Brazil I got both tie downs and a ramp,and a truck,thats how I got my bike to the shop.Give me a call and we can load it up and take it to the shop.

Thank God I bought the extended service plan on my bike,I am still waiting to hear what the problem is.

I am risk adverse so I did purchase an extended warranty of 4 years to follow the Suzuki warranty of 1 year. I figured I would probably need work within the 5 year period and it will help in re-sale since it is transferable. With electronic fuel injection you need a warranty because you just cannot figure it out on your own. Man I miss carbed set-ups.

Well i got my bike back and at it was that my clutch had to be adjusted.

So i got my full service and oil changed while I was there.

My bike is running very sweet now

Hey Dragon, I dont have your number anymore. Not sure what happened to it. Thats why I couldnt call you on Sunday to let you know I got home. Give me a call. We can take my truck no problem. Its lowered a bit so it should make it easier to load. Thanks.

Yeah no problem.But just in case my number is 623-340-9883

Hey Dragon, Im gonna truck it to Extreme on McDowell and Scottsdale road. They open at 9 on Sat. So what time do you wanna head over to pick up the bike?

yeah man, Xtreme is good for service. I get all my shit done there and that's where I got my PP's. They never rip me off either.

Anyone wanna do a Spars run sunday. 8am meet in wickenburg???

Brazil,we can head over early,or i can drop off the stuff at your house.I have clients early.

Iluv,sorry bro it's mothers day so I'm out.

I'm out on this sunday too. If anything changes I'll post up.

If anyone rides the spars this next weekend....be careful, someone died last weekend and the LEO's will be out full force for awhile due to it...ride safe.

yeah, i rode today. Too damn hot! Never mind, I was tired when I wrote that and had forgotten how much shit i have to do that day.

so I was looking on cycletrader.com for shits and giggles and saw this shit! LMFAO! http://adcache.cycletrader.com/5/4/0/83688840.htm

That bike looks PIMP, I love the high mount Microns.....if I was to do everything over again I would go full system Micron, high mount.

Damn thats more than I paid for my bike.

But the bike is pretty sweet.

yeah, but $9000 for an 05 600 with 2000 miles. You could get a new one for less than that. :thumbdown

True but does it come with the hot ass chic sticker on the side, that alone is worth an extra grand...lol

That is pretty bad ass I have to give it up for the exhaust for sure.
