Mark(igo-wfo) led Jeff(bung), Wade(not a member but he showed up to the Buck-N-Loon's meet) and myself on an imromptu ride today. We met up in Cresson at about 9AM then blasted our way on some convoluted route to Cranfill's Gap where I took some pictures of the miscreants and their machines. We then scooted back up from whence we had come to catch 6 and roll out to the Koffee Kup. Mark would have to explain the route to you, I'm still learning the roads. It was a good ride and I learned several things today.
1. The Z1000 tops out around 150 and is somewhat spooky.
2. Wade's ZX-10R does not top out at 150 or anywhere near 150 for that matter.
3. After spending some time on Wade's machine, I have determined that he is a contortionist. That is the only way to explain how his 6'4" frame fits on it.
4. I am never allowed to own a ZX-10R......way too easy to get in trouble with that much power and that razor sharp handling.
5. The best sounding bike of the day award is going to have to be split between Mark on his Aprilia and Jeff on his Speed Triple.
Aside from being on a bike with no wind protection getting buffeted to death for a few hundred miles it was a really great day. Almost forgot, some tall skinny squid on a bright green bike busted out a nice long standup wheelie in the middle of nowhere.
The miscreants and their machines: Wade covering his face, Jeff looking at ya, and Mark(the italian banana) looking away.
Lunch stop. The Chicken Fried Steak sandwich and Caramel Meringue pie come highly recommended.
Couple of pie eaters parked next to us.
A big thanks goes out to Jeff's parents for letting us hooligan's kick back in their weekend "getaway at the lake" house to view the GP today as well.
We'll have to take Kim next time so we can get more pics.....I'm really bad about forgetting that the camera is in the trunk. :p
