Hey, I recently met a member on here who has a bike and was wondering whoelse might...
Me and my friends are constantly looking for new people and places to ride. We're a bunch of levelheaded riders not looking to showoff or anything. In fact, we'll probably be out all weekend and every nice day afterwards. Let me know...
We have a group on Yahoo called "TwistiesNJ"... Please, feel free to join.
Thanks!

Haha! Yes it is my friend! That is our "527 Run"... We go all around that area and down Mountainside Rd. into the back areas of Milstone. I'd like to meet up sometime and maybe pick your brain about your mods and whatnot, especially now that the weather is getting nicer!

A guy we ride w/ has a Buell Firebolt, and his GF is getting the Buell Blast, great manuvering! With a Ducati, you'll hate everyone telling you that your bike sounds like it's breaking down... The dry clutch makes a horrible sound... you'll see.

The Ducati chatter is caused by the valve which have to be adjusted on a regular basis.

Doug, if you like V-twins I highly recommend checking out Suzuki SV650's. They make great torque and are pretty lightweight and nimble.

i had an 86 honda vf500, beat up and old but only 6000 miles. Had for 2 or 3 years...didnt get a lot of road time tho, maybe ~200 miles. Was affraid to take it out, considering i dont have a motorcycle license. I still rode it around though. Cops never bothered me. I would like to get my motorcylce license this year and do it legit...and like devil doug, i want to get a vtwin...maybe an rc51 or an original honda hawk if i can find one in decent shape. I would also love to have an 80s gsxr 1300. There is torque if you want it :nod:

We also have:

Wish I could've made it. Parents moving back to NJ from AZ. Helping them out. Missing a good riding day(not like yesterday's wind). But I now have babysitters close! Yeah!!

Awesome!! I wish I had the balls for that. Kicking is as far as I've gotten. I wont play tough though, if it were a car full of large scary gentlemen, I'd have layed on my sissy horn and then have taken the hit. LOL!!

Gratz on the first 2-up ride. No probs?(except wind) As long as you don't have someone leaning the opposite way on turns it's not much different. Cool to have people with you. Yeah the wind was moving early in the day. Sudden cross winds can really mess up your line.

When I went in late fall the only traffic was motorcycles :lol: you'll come across a few cars but generally they will move over into the shoulder so you can pass. The main stretch of the Hawks nest is really nice, and there's literally hundreds of nice side roads that you can take.

I'm actually waiting to get a new tire mounted on the rear of the bike. Had a plug in it that started to leak like a civ and I was just sick of the constant attention it needed! I can't wait to put the new tire one and get rid of those chicken-strips!

05-04-2009, 11:01 PM
New tire always feels good!
Since I had both wheels off I balanced mine.

What kind of plug you had? On my last tire I used "mushroom" type plug and had 0 problems... tested it up to 160mph.

I'm kind of concerned how the front tire wearing on my bike... it uneven.. not just flat spot on the center. Its Michelin PP.

CANT WAIT FOR GOOD WEATHER!

It snapped when I was loosening the axle. On my bike its 65 lb/ft for the front axle. It wasn't crazy tight though.

Well, I put about 6k on my bike this past winter to give you an idea how much I like riding.

33 here:shock: Nice miles for winter. I admit, I put mine away from Dec-Feb. None of my friends ride in winter and riding alone in the cold sucks to me. If I'm not comfortable, I'm not riding. I make up for it the other 9 months. I see this weekend is rain. Maybe if next weekend is nice we can all plan something?

You get to ride? Wish I would have seen this. I was out all weekend on the bike but local stuff because my son was on the back. Plus I hooked up with a couple I work with that rides cruisers. So....it was a slow weekend :rofl: But weather was great. Went to Extreme machines in Millstone sat for first time. Big shop! It was cool. Anyone ride anywhere nice?

Funny, I was at Xtreme Machines on Sat w/ a buddy looking to buy a bike.
I was there around 12pm... Maybe you saw me... I had a Silver/Blue Busa outside w/ spikes on the front.

Thats funny! I was there 30min before closing unfortunately. I think 3:30? So we looked around and had to leave. They were cool though and never actually asked us to go. My wife was looking at helmets 10min after they locked the doors and noone rushed us. It was nice. A lot of bikes hanging out there. Seems like a cool place to meet up. Now if they only put a food place inside we'd be set! Did your friend pick up a bike? Whats he looking at?

Mike Something
06-02-2009, 03:37 PM
As far as food, there's a Subway and D&D right on the end of the building we usually goto after. My friend liked the Gixxers, but I took him to some Honda dealers and he said the CBR1k's were the best fit...
Imagine, a brand new CBR1k as a 1st bike, he's never even ridden a dirtbike...LMAO.

7R_NINJA
06-02-2009, 04:34 PM
Oh, I didn't notice the subway. Thats cool! I'll have to remember that. OMG!! :shock: 1K for first bike? Now I don't jump in with all the hype that people need to start with a 250 and move up...or even a 600. If you've got a level head you can handle bigger stuff. But 1K is extreme, and tough to get experienced on. I wish him luck though. Maybe he's cool and has no prob. You know him so I'm sure you wouldn't steer him wrong. I like 1K. :mrgreen:

Yea its great so far terrible weather the past couple of weeks but took it out for its first extended ride last weekend. It love to rev bucks a little form 2,000 to 3,500 but I have heard thats a common issue with the 750's. So far so good. Would anyone here be down for a bike get together. I live in edison close by to a few nice places with large parking lots.

Nope that is actually I believe thats a 910 mine is actually flat black just with a red shroud, if its one that I think it is its owned by a girl who works over at the ducati dealer on route 27 right by powersports honda. I am actually having a detail day this saturday at my house cleaning up bikes if you guys are in the area stop by to introduce. But I am always at the local cruise nights should get something together for a friday night in somerville if you have ever been.

Mike Something

The Wawa is in Old Bridge right on Rt 18...
If you were coming North bound on 18 it would be after you passed Raritan Bay Hospital on the right side... You'd goto the next light and it on your left side... You'll see it easily.

The grease trucks in New Bruns. are a bunch of lunch trucks set up w/ custom burgers and whatnot. Great drunk food and there's always car, trucks, & bike meets planned in that lot.

Rutgers, I would've been at your place, my bike is filthy. But I saw the post to damn late.

I've posted my number a bunch of times, I was out all day today (Sunday) and part of Saturday riding.
Hit me up on my cellphone if you guys wanna meet up. I'll even travel by you guys if you're far out there.

Probably. There's another Mike that hangs out there w/ a Silver/Black Busa, there's Dave w/ the White Busa, and Alex w/ a Copper Orange Busa.

Mine is pretty much the only Blue and Silver Busa there... I put Spikes on the front and a Brass Knuckle sticker on the back just to make it stand out alil more if that helps.

im not sure what colors the busa was. i rolled up in my black TA and my buddy was with me in a black firehawk.

and according to GMC's sig he has a 08..the 09 are the one's that sound like the Vtwin.

I was watchin the "MV Agusta" production history last night on the Speed Channel BTW...
Did you know that it takes 4 more hours on the final assembly than any major bike company to put together? They have no time restriction so they do it right.
