I don't know how many of you read my other thread where me and my buddy (who bought my F4i) went up to the Trace to ride. Well my Dad has ridden all his life but doesnt own his own bike, currently. Occasionally he rents a Harley for a day and we ride, so that's what we did today- I know what you are thinking, ew, Harley. But usually all the Honda rentals are taken, and Harley rentals are relatively cheap, like $60 for all day.

Anyways, it was a lot of fun, reallllllllly hot of course. Ended up riding until like 4PM, only putting on about 160 miles (ate lunch and took a lot of breaks to hydrate).

On with the pictures.

Woke up about 9AM, headed out about 10.

Getting ready to leave my mom's house:




I didn't take any pictures before lunch (we rode the Trace before and after), and I also didn't take pictures of any of the riding we did after the Trace.

Anyway, here we are chillin at Wendys gettin' some eats.

The end

 

Oh my ******* god, that counrty is beautiful, where are we located? Props for hanging out with the ol man. I love seeing father son teams, since I only have a dog

 

Middle Tennessee.

My Dad and I don't see each other much but riding gives us an excuse to hang out

 

this complex looks good for 120+

 

Beautiful indeed!

Thanks for posting those pictures. I'll be in North Carolina sometime this year. Maybe I should send the bike out and ride over to Tennessee

Where is everyone? Are there any service stations along the way?

 

Damn...that's some beautiful weather and scenery. Schu and JDB1...road trip???????

 

I'm thinkin of renting a truck and hauling bikes to do Deal's. This road just got added to the list.

 

Looks fun!

Motorcycling is a summer activity by most American standards so you should definitely invest in a nicely perforated jacket.

 

Yeah I've gotta Joe Rocket Alter Ego jacket as well but I can't find it haha.

 

off topic but, where can you rent a honda motorcycle around LA, i just got my license and cant really get a bike right now.

Not sure but it's not like you can rent 1000RR's or F4i's or anything, it's going to be all sport-touring bikes (less the VFR) and some ATV's...

 

i know, i just want to ride around.

Actually...sportbikerental.com rents 600 supersports, Ducatis, and the VFR800.

However I wouldn't recommend renting any of them if you just got your license.

 

i was thinking about renting an sv650 since its the first bike im planning on getting.

Nice pics!! that looks like a blast...i hope there isn't a lot of cops around there, looks nice amazing road to ride......lots of nice soft grass too incase of incident....unlike my 300ft cliffs on my roads, lol.

edit: full gear?!?! those pants better be kevlar

 

Wow...Killer country to ride in. Roads look like they are pretty clear too. That helmet photo was cool too. My dad wants a harley, but mom says no. She not a fan of me riding street bikes either. Bummer for her.

 

seems like a great time . wish i could ride with my dad but hes hardcore against motorcycles so :-(.

lol the khakis come out again. you shoudla worn the vans for old times sake :-P

 

Im def not buying riding pants or a suit, Im about to start college therefore my time for riding = down the drain.
