ok so who is staying where and who is meeting up at Waffle House at 6am? so we can have a roll call =P

3/21/2007 12:17:17 AM

i would leave sat 6am, but looks like some of you already decided on rooms and who is with who. i dont plan on shelling out money for the room just by myself. fuck that.

3/21/2007 12:27:50 AM

Dude you can crash on the floor. I'm sure nobody cares.

3/21/2007 12:34:21 AM

so did you already get the room or ...?

3/21/2007 12:41:58 AM

no not yet...working on that

3/21/2007 12:43:28 AM

3/21/2007 12:52:08 AM

friends for you ray! haha

3/21/2007 12:53:17 AM

cool, looks like I'll have fun on the bike and the camera.

3/21/2007 1:02:12 AM

I will be most likely riding the bike there. going to pickup a throttle locker (depending up on price) that will save ur right wrist!

I will also meet up with you all at waffle house at 6am on sat.

does anyone want to carry my tools for me? I dont want to tote them the whole way


also who is in charge of directions etc.?

damn, you are going to be MISERABLE by the time you get there. that's a decent ride on cruiser, much less a damn rr.

3/21/2007 2:59:21 AM

hell im thinkign about going too, maby put a pillow on the RR seat... you know the kinda granny puts behind her neck.

Where can you get a throttle locker. Anybody need another in a room?

3/21/2007 5:25:58 AM

^cyclegear im guessing

hahah on 600rr this ride will be HELL. the sprocket setup i have only makes my rpms about 1k higher than the stock setup so that isnt bad.. yeah im going to put a pillow under my ass or something.

we will figure out rooms when we get there.

ill let u know about throttle lockers at cycle gear if i stop by there today after work

3/21/2007 8:15:59 AM

as far a throttle lockers....i've always used a rubber band. just take it and loop it inbetween the grip and throttle/switch bracket. you might want to loop it over a couple times. It won't jam up the throttle but gives just enough resistance to hold at a steady position. You can take it off as soon as you get off the highway. It was nice knowing this little trick having to commute raleigh/virgina beach weekly this past summer.

3/21/2007 8:50:22 AM

I work this evening at cycle gear if you guys want to come by - it should be like $15 for the "cruise control," but you can always call up there and say hey and ask me to look it up

3/21/2007 10:38:58 AM

I am still looking for a truck to tote Ivans trailer... anyone have a truck they are taking with a tow packege and wouldnt mind towing me... I'll chip in for gas :-)

3/21/2007 10:55:02 AM

any word on my tire :-(

3/21/2007 10:56:44 AM

I'll tow it if you can fit my bike on the trailer

3/21/2007 11:19:35 AM

^^should have got one thats in stock, they are having some sort of sale. i couldnt get a matching one either, but i figured it be better to have good mismatched tire then a bald matching one

3/21/2007 12:08:04 PM

word on the trailer? if not, I'm gonna need to buy an ipod...

3/21/2007 12:23:23 PM

well seems like f1001978 is willing to tow, and BigBlueRam was nice enough to offer a 3 bike trailer. That means we need another trailer with 2 or 3 bike capacity since AntecK7,JBaz,toyotafj40s and Squirt all wanna go.

stanw86 said he had a triler lined up, but ihavent heard from him in a few days, so i dont know if he is coming or not

maybe get SteveO tow a couple more bikes there and then just bring em back wednesday when he returns?

or we could have coupe people riding along and just take one trailer for the bikes that cannot make it there (or back ) on their own

i ordered some brake parts today, if they come in on friday, i can ride the r1. if not, i will def. need a trailer spot

3/21/2007 12:35:01 PM

i've offered enough trailer space between my 2 trailers to carry at least 4, possibly 5 bikes.

i probably need to know something on the enclosed trailer by tonight or tomorrow sometime at the latest so i can make sure it would be ready to go. it gets used in our business from time to time, so it may or may not have some stuff in it that i'd need to make sure got taken out.

the little retarted open trailer is just sitting in my back yard, ya'll can just grab it whenever/if you need it. i gave Squirt directions on where to dig up the spare wheel/tire.

it was 21 something with tax. they have 2 kinds. a throttle 'rocker' and a throttle lock. i got the lock.

rocker u still have to keep hand on acc.


I dont mind riding there since i have this cruise control crap and an mp3 player.


we will need to stop every 100-120 miles for gas though. how many miles is it there?

[Edited on March 21, 2007 at 1:28 PM. Reason : d]

3/21/2007 1:26:17 PM

well we'll all caravan together so if the bikers need to stop and rest, we can all stop and rest. Of course you could always take turns riding and towing

no worries...we have 3 evo's in the group that will be stopping almost as many times as the bikes

[Edited on March 21, 2007 at 1:28 PM. Reason : fda]

3/21/2007 1:28:13 PM

ok so who's going in what?

toyotafj40s: 600rr riding it!

basically we need to figure out what everyone is bringing and trailer shit. it seems like we have almost enough trailers just not enough trucks? I would borrow my dad's truck but after my 21st im not in his good graces anymore

so please post what ur bringing etc. now not "oh yeah i gotta truck or yah i gotta trailer" we needa be a lil bit more specific.

[Edited on March 21, 2007 at 1:39 PM. Reason : d]

3/21/2007 1:38:31 PM

I got: 1 truck (bronco), 1 bike, and no trailer

[Edited on March 21, 2007 at 1:45 PM. Reason : .]

3/21/2007 1:41:39 PM

Ivan... We will prolly need your trailers... But I am tryin to figure out who is going on what trailer being towed by who...
I can't go unless my bike is trailered because I am still somewhat a noob and I dunno how well I'd be able to keep up all the hot heads...

But then again I was passing all you homeboys last night But honestly.. I have work I can do on the way up there which I am counting on getting done on the trip up there

ha ha ok


[Edited on March 21, 2007 at 1:46 PM. Reason : asdf]

who all is riding in the bikes?
who needs to be trailored?

[Edited on March 21, 2007 at 1:48 PM. Reason : asd]

3/21/2007 1:42:41 PM

I have put a bike in the back of the bronco before, but it wasn't a good idea.

3/21/2007 2:00:03 PM

yea i am pretty protective about my bike and I wouldn't want to damage your bronco

3/21/2007 2:07:01 PM

also I have 4 tie down straps. anyone is FREE to borrow them for the trip.

I will be bringing with me:
spare rear tire ... just in case
my crappy tool kit (fits in book bag but i would like to throw in someones truck along with the tire)
and a tire plug kit (just in case someone gets a flat)
my tie downs if someone needs them
ill try and find a sleepin bag

someone might also want to bring:

air pump
extra gas?
water?
lots of cdz!
sleeping bags since we're piling in hotel rooms


I can already tell this is going to get confusing with everyone posting what they will be riding with etc. but i guess it's the best way to do it?

so are we arriving at waffle house at 6am and then loading up ppls bikes etc?

3/21/2007 2:11:38 PM

Yea.

I think Bike's and Evo's have the same range.

3/21/2007 2:21:14 PM

17.5 gallons. im good for 400 miles if i drive semi-civilized.

3/21/2007 4:30:20 PM

^ thats ok
we will be stopping every 200 for the evo's

3/21/2007 6:38:09 PM

^hehe how true

ok so should we share phone numbers via PM or at least one 'master' phone number incase people are running late to the waffle house or aren't coming at the last minute etc...

or like some...*cough* engin *cough* need a wake up call.

3/21/2007 7:47:31 PM

yah post everyones sn that is going and pm them ur numbers with ur name

3/21/2007 7:54:54 PM

yall got pm

3/21/2007 7:58:43 PM

Well this sucks donkey balls. My boss is giving me a hard time about asking off the whole weekend, so it looks I can't go.

3/21/2007 8:22:56 PM

allright, looks like WMVlad007 is hooking us up with a truck, and BigBlueRam is helping us out with the trailer.

that's fuckin teamwork right there

still be nice to have one more truck and trailer if noone wants to ride. but as long as we have one just in case some bikes are not gonna be rideable back home we should be allright

3/21/2007 8:29:05 PM

so whose bikes are getting trailered?

3/21/2007 8:49:55 PM

^igor is taking my enclosed trailer. i don't know who else is getting a spot in there, that's up to him i guess.

kyle told me a bit ago that you and he were probably taking my other trailer with SteveO pulling it? you've got it if you still want it, you were the first to ask about it. i told him you guys need to go measure it and make sure two bikes will fit though.

[Edited on March 21, 2007 at 8:56 PM. Reason : .]

3/21/2007 8:55:35 PM

i would much rather trailor it the whole way if i can do that.... but if not, i can throw it on BBR other trailer with Stevo towing it

i am a dumbass sorry

[Edited on March 21, 2007 at 9:10 PM. Reason : dsf]

3/21/2007 9:00:35 PM

wait, now i'm confused... does he have a trailer of his own he's taking?
