Re: FIRST THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH!!!!!!JULY 2nd

see you guys tonight then. Thatismytruck thinks there's a chance we'll get to ride tonight. I'll believe it when I see it. Either way, we can head over to New Haven and see what kind of trouble we can get in.
 
Re: FIRST THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH!!!!!!JULY 2nd

I just want to confirm we are meeting at 11 Water St. Guilford at 630 right? I think i can make it I am going to try anyways
 
Re: FIRST THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH!!!!!!JULY 2nd

Sorry guy's but Danimal and I will not be coming down. Things may change later but looks like we're gonna hold off for now. Hope to be at the next ride........
 
Re: FIRST THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH!!!!!!JULY 2nd

Holy cow. I just got back from the ride. What a good time I had. I am beat though. I haven't ridden that far that fast for a long time. gettin old blows.

Funny story: I park my truck get the bike off and ride around a bit in the lot. Ian says "how about a beer?" dumb question. After that I notice I need air in the front tire. Ride on over to a dude pumping up a lovely young ladies tire. "Hey. Can I borrow that when you're done?" "Sure" he says. As I'm pumping my tire we do some introductions: "I'm Skip (thatismytruck)". "I'm Chris (BOSKIPPER)". "what's your last name" he says. I tell him. He says: "I thought so. I'm Chris <last name>" Amazed I say: "No frickin way!!!" My cousin's son!!! We had a good ride. a bit long for me, but I made it. Most of the cars at the car show were leaving when we got there for fear of rain. This rock band was playing. Bunch of high school kids it looked like to be. They were pretty good. Need to tighten up just a bit though. They are close. As an old Guy I had to hollor: "Free Bird". They heard me and said they didn't know it. ouch.

I took bunches of photos. So did Ian. We'll post them up tomorrow instead of working. Time for another beverage before bed. Good night.

beer, cute girls, crashes and bikes! this was an awesome ride. How many people showed up 15 or so? Beautiful scenery, and good people, And I totally felt like a kid again when we hit that downhill section and half of us were racing for the lead. I can't wait to see the pictures.
 
Re: FIRST THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH!!!!!!JULY 2nd

18 riders I counted! That's very cool. What a great group. I had a fricken blast. pictures soon...

Note how wet they are. We had to ride through a large body of water over the road to get to the point.

It was 8 inches deep easy. The ride back was a little lighter for this rider. The refreshment was consumed. :wink:

Re: FIRST THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH!!!!!!JULY 2nd

Here's mine. I'll try not to be redundant...

first I had tryouts in the driveway to see which bike to take. Fenders won out. After riding through the washed out road I made the right choice:

BRING IT! lol sorry, that's what we used to call them "back in the day" (late 80s) when we raced them. It's a fine bike you got there CJ. It was good seeing you too.

Re: FIRST THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH!!!!!!JULY 2nd

It's been a while since I've come to visit the forum, life has taken some priorities... Anyway, I'm catching up.

Looks like you guys had a great ride, great pics too. Look forward to August ride pics.

Re: FIRST THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH!!!!!!AUGUST 6th

This is defiantly going on on August 6th..... No car show this time, so maybe more riding !!!!!!!!! (sorry Skip). This time I will be working on a route..... Again all are welcome, and after last month's turnout I am very excited to do this again.
 
Re: FIRST THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH!!!!!!AUGUST 6th

... well, I did a little bike riding out West in Missoula, Montana last week... Perhaps I'll have to hit the East coast for the week of August 6th ride? Ian buddy, can I borrow a bike? <snicker> Uhmmmmmmmm. Talk to you, Skip, and Big Pants Bob later.
