Ok I'm waiting until I can take the DMV road test (sept 5th) and in the meantime I'm trying to find a spot in an MSF course but no dice so far. I don't know anyone that has a bike so I can't drive it on the road.

Does anyone want to come out to Springfield and go riding with me? Next weekend.

 

Andy, Im licensed, so if you have a permit, we are legal to ride together.

Are you riding this weekend?

Yeah. I'm getting tags tomorrow. I'll get equipment this weekend and all next week. So the week after I'll be ready to go.

 

Let me know if you guys make it out this way and I'll meet up.

 

if i'm healed up i may have the bike mostly back together by then... who am i kidding? it's perfectly ridable now anyway

 

Did you get tags?

Yup.

And I just got my paycheck an hour ago so I'm getting the equipment tomorrow.

I'll be good to go this Saturday.

w00t

 

i'll stay tuned to see where and when you guys are meeting

 

Any timeframe you're looking at riding? Any places you want to go?

 

im down for a ride this weekend. prefferably early though. i got a lot of work to do before i go to school but this is my last weekend home so i have to get out for one more good one. and the farther north the better.

I dunno, anywhere you guys want to go.

Keep in mind, THIS WILL BE MY FIRST TIME ON A BIKE ON ACTUAL ROADS. lol

But I'm a quick learner.

Dude, seriously I would not feel comfortable having you get into the thick of riding around a bunch of cars. I would highly suggest getting up early as crap, say 6AM, and just getting used to the space around you without too many cars on the road. Then we can see how well you adapt from there.

I know, but I am. I've been BMXing since I was 12. I picked up snowboarding in a day etc.

dont hate. some people ARE fast learners.

my advice. a group ride isnt the best FIRST riding experience. get around your neighborhood for a little bit just to get used to shifting, downshifting, blah blah, then when you feel absolutely comfortable, go on some rural (no to little traffic) then once your comfortable with that, then could be a good time for a group ride. youre gonna put a lot of miles on fast. i put 800 on my bike in the first 4 days. i couldnt get off the damn thing.... still cant. anyway, hopefully see you saturday!

Ok I'll be sure to have all my stuff ready by friday night. I'll let you know later on this week and we'll set up a meet etc.

That's TBA as we'll see what Litterbox has to say.

 

I get off work at 6am. So I can't ride until noon. I could meet for lunch, then a short ride (back in the office by 6pm).
