I got back about 4:15 -- well in time for the dinner event my wife had on for tonight.  Looks like I'm in the good books (so far).  Gotta go to light the BBQ.  Will leave more later.  Ciao...

well i got home around 4:40 and thats a long ride back to muskegon.     that was the best ride i have been on + the cool riders i met i will meet y'all some other time for a ride.   see y'all. 

Just a note of appreciation for all those that rode yesterday.  Sarah, Gregg, Denman, Damien, Nick, Silverback, and the guy with the Orange GSX-R 750 (I'm poor with names  )

Glad Nick was able to lead.  He rides with spirit and the corners flew past.     When it was my turn to lead, I only missed one turn and we recovered.  Although we altered our path and never hit Brighton, don't think anyone was sad over it.

Appreciation also to Gregg to take the final lead and finish the final leg of our "X" in Pinckney area.  Although it was 90F+ out there, we didn't loose anyone and there were only smiles afterwards.  Great day and new friends.  What could be better.

I had a good time yesterday too. I didn't make it home till about 5:30, went ride around with Damon and Nick before we decided to head home. That was Wade with the orange GSX-R.

It was hot but definitely a good time. We'll have to do it again sometime.

Yep, I agree with eveyone else.  It was a great ride.  Very spirited on the first leg to Stockbridge!!  I've got a few pics that I'll post when I get a chance.  It was really hot, but a very good time...I'm looking forward to our next ride.   

Well, I had a lot of fun in MI...  Quads + Sand Dunes == WEEEEEE WHOOOOOO

well did y'all ride on sunday?     im also looking forward to our next ride.     for shure ask nick wade and damon to ride next time.    nick and damon are krazy on the freeway i had lol's   see y'all.

when is our next ride?

My August is spoken for.  Labor Day weekend, Saturday is a possibility, but cannot commit.

I guess I need an enticement.  Someone suggest someplace reachable yet where I've never been, and I'll see what I can do.

I'm game if I can get my bike's fuel starvation issue resolved soon.

One possibility:  The Oxford/Metamora/Dryden area is very nice--mostly farmlands surrounded by nice curves and twists and long stretches w/o stop signs or lights.

Ever been there?

Steve
Royal Oak

... and I need to do something about my Carb's and a weak rear shock before I do another full-day ride.

Checking out the base of the thumb may be interesting.  Must be more there than what meets the eye.  Looking at MS Steets & Trips, the roads seem to straighten out going north-east of Clarkson.  Would have thought south-west of Clarkson to be more entertaining, but perhaps we're talking more traffic and residences down there.

What of where our Denman hails from -- the Muskegon area or parts north?  A bit of a haul from Royal Oak though.

I'd be interested in another swing between Mason & Dexter if it's late September - mid-October.  Colours would be great somewhere in between.   

yep sept-oct sounds good for me.  that mason/dexter aera was cool,im up for a sunday the 20'th.   cant do labor day weekend, after that i can.     as far as my area goes i have olny riden close to town and dont know much about back roads over here,leonard st is cool in grand rapids lots of cars.  see y'all

Sept/Oct sounds good to me too.  I'd like to see us check out one of the shorelines, maybe over by Muskegon, but I'll go anywhere...

Hey all, have been on here much to see this be resurrected. I'm down for another group ride. As of now my schedule is pretty open but I do start school again this fall semester so IDK how things will go once that starts. I'll just keep checking back to see if anybody had more exact dates.

EDIT: I can't do sept 9-10th because of national guard that weekend.

i will start looking around over here for some good places to ride.    i know a dude that road up to la cross and back in one day along the shore line and sayd it was a great ride.   i still liked that last ride.

where is every body?   i havent had a chance to look for a good ride over here.    i have ask jeff  to help he rides alot more than i do,every one rides more than i do.    i met jeff here at GStwin.    he now has a ZX6.    see y'all

Still look'n forward to a Sep/Oct ride.  My bike is currently down, really down, but I should have it back up and running by then...

The lakeshore sounds good to me, it would be nice to try and catch the color change...

BTW...here are some pics from the last ride...sorry it took so long to post them...

great photos,i had a blast riding with y'all that day.    lets go riding soon.

I know it wasn't your doing, but I look chubby.  Will need to work on standing taller or loosing weight.

Notice there are no pictures of me!!!   

Denman asked that I post this map of NW MI.  It looks like a good area to ride, even if it is a little ways away.  I would possibly look into spending the night somewhere in the area, maybe a campground or cheap motel...
