#405481 OBMF (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 561 Re:Bike Rally -- Why Bother 9 Months, 4 Weeks ago   All beer consumption is done at the end of the day when the tents are up and bedrolls thrown out. And if you don't ever ride your Roadie at 75 mph, well..... don't knock it if you haven't tried it. When I first started riding in large groups at high speeds, it was very intimidating, and I frequently tailed behind the pack.. Now I actually look forward to it. Some of us have ridden together thousands of miles. We know each other, we use hand signals and follow group-riding rules.

No offense taken. The guys I ride with (some are club riders) are very used to drilling out hours of riding at 80 mph and quite skilled at it. It's really very cool to be part of a large group of well-coordinated riders. I actually shy away from the 'poker run' scene because (at least in my neck of the woods, anyway) a poker run is often a bunch of Sunday riders who hit tavern and pub after pub, drinking a beer at every stop. I've actually seen riders who were fine as long as the bike was moving, but the minute they stopped, BLAM... over on their side. All in the name of a charity poker run.

Last weekend was our annual street fair, when they close down most of the main strip, and everybody comes out. At one end of the strip, I noticed quite a few expensive looking, spotless bikes parked side by side, that I'd never seen before. It made me wonder where those bikes are the other 364 days of the year.   Logged     “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.” - Ernest Hemingway   The administrator has disabled public write access. #405650 roadiemort (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1041 Re:Bike Rally -- Why Bother 9 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Rowdy wrote: john i was just messin with ya. i put the drinking and the driving together. my roadie sounds like its coming apart at 75 but i still crack at the throttle. barons big air kit, vance and hines longshots dont make for a quiet high speed ride, lol. hey rowdy, i find these roadstars very good highway bikes, very stable even at 75+. did you get yourself another bike as your classified add says you sold your roadstar? ride safe mort   Logged     http://s1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa389/roadiemort1953/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #405674 Rowdy (User) Elvis is EVERYWHERE Senior Boarder Posts: 254 Re:Bike Rally -- Why Bother 9 Months, 4 Weeks ago   roadiemort wrote: Rowdy wrote: john i was just messin with ya. i put the drinking and the driving together. my roadie sounds like its coming apart at 75 but i still crack at the throttle. barons big air kit, vance and hines longshots dont make for a quiet high speed ride, lol. hey rowdy, i find these roadstars very good highway bikes, very stable even at 75+. did you get yourself another bike as your classified add says you sold your roadstar? ride safe mort yes i got rid of the roadstar for a vstar. i actually had 2 roadies, with the woman driving one, and i the other. but when hers was traded for a vtx1300, i kinda got the bug for something new. being a road star site, i wont review the vstar. yeah, the roadstar was a good highway bike. but in the configuration i had it just sounded like it was really struggling to go 70 or more. it wasnt, it just sounded that way.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #405685 ahamay (User) I got mine, did you get yours? Platinum Boarder Posts: 1828 Re:Bike Rally -- Why Bother 9 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I think most of cleaner living through trailering types were rich kids who did not want to tarnish their squeaky clean teen image by riding a motorcycle. Now in their middle age crisis they want to live like they really wanted to do when they were teens. The ensamb includes the leathers along with the "Bad Boy" scooter they wish they could have had when they were younger. If they really ride their bike they will stop and have it detailed on the way home.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #405724 Big Dawg (User) On the road again . . . Platinum Boarder Posts: 1220 Re:Bike Rally -- Why Bother 9 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I gotta admit, I am riding the bike I wish I had when I was a teenager. But the RS didn't exist back then ! ! !
