Default 4/28 Group Ride!

Some background...my brother in law used to ride, and he had some left over gear (Icon helment, JR gloves and jacket) that he didn't need, so he gave it to my dad to use. Well the jacket didn't fit my dad, so he posted it up for sale on Craig's List. A week or so later a guy PM's him about it, and they meet up to make the transaction, when they meet, the bro buys the jacket and they end up talking about riding and what not, and the guy tells my dad that his church is having a group ride today and invites us along, so of course he was like hell yeah!

As some of you may remember, my friend has a 2005 600RR that I installed a Clear Alternatives tail light integrator on. He offered to pay me but I refused, and he said that instead of paying that I can ride his bike whenever, so my dad and I figured we could borrow his bike for the little ride.

Anyway, there were about 18 bikes all together, (mostly H-D ), and we rode about 60 miles to a town called Dickson where we had some lunch. Afterwards, me headed back and rode the Natchez Trace.

Had a great time, but damn I'm tired!

Pictures!

Just a few snaps of the 748 before we head out.

PICTURES DELETED TO SAVE BANDWIDTH

Also, Schu and thesilverbullet, I should have let you guys know about this! It would have been great to meet you guys.

Enjoy!

I still love it man, I haven't had to do any maintenence yet. After I bought it I took it to Ducati and had them check over everything and the only thing that needed to be replaced was the rear brake pad.

I dont care that its not a great vale money wise, or that it requires more care, there's just something special about an italian machine.

Ferrari and Ducati

Thanks man

One thing I have kind of noticed about Harley owners is that most of them don't know anything about motorcycles. I thought that was kind of weird.

It was kind of pissing me off, we were riding in the staggered line up, and this one guy behind me was like riding in my blind spot the whole time
