Thursday May 11th Ride for Grub

[Juice]

rocket.ride

The rain kept most of the bikes in the garage last week. Same time same place. The Exxon station on Highland @ old Perkins. We ride at 6:30 sharp. What to expect? About 50-60 miles of twistys then some dinner around 8:00.

Post up if you are going to attend. Carry on That is all!

[bayoubikebruiser]

Yo!

[shortie]

Ya'll think about me while you're eating... i'm having my wisdom teeth removed that morning :(

[Juice]

:food; Let there be food..............

[bayoubikebruiser]

Get thee from me, traffic cops!

+1 on the food.

[Shakey75]

:food; Let there be food..............
Love the new smilie!

I might try to make it this week. Gotta work, but not till 11 that night.

[scootertrash]

I am planning on being there, Good Luck there EM!

[bayoubikebruiser]

i'm having my wisdom teeth removed that morning :(

I had a Navy Cpt. put his knee in my chest with insufficient sedation to yank out all 4 of mine in one sitting in Korea.

On the happy side, Uncle Sam was footin' the bill.

HOOOWaaaah!

Damn.........

I'm hoping for a bit of an easier extraction.... I've had enough pain in the last week to last me awhile... Been on Percocets and Lortabs since last Monday night....

Oh, and sorry for the thread jack! :p

[Juice]

Gay I need to find you a rainbow sticker for that bike of yours.. Just ride it Greg.... don't be skeered. I bet Katy would follow us down that road...........Bable12

HAHAHAHA........Owned

Although, I know how you feel Greg. I took my Aprilia down a gravel road up in Colorado that was close to what that we did, but the only difference is that it was 4 miles one way of the stuff. Then I had to turn around and go through it again. At least it's ALWAYS easier the second time around. Just take your time, stay light on the bars, and heavy on the pegs........or go REALLY slow with your outriggers stretched out.

I got faith in you Greg, Ted is right. That R6 is a good bike, you just have to have faith in it and your riding ability's....Bable12

[Katy]

Gay I bet Katy would follow us down that road...........Bable12

yeah, i would, but i wouldnt go without Greg!
but I'm making the trip over tomorow night. see yall then.

Em, youll do fine with the wisdom tooth thing, really its not a big deal! The dentist i work for does them all the time. Just dont suck through a straw or spit forcefully for like a week or youll get dry socket! or smoke! plus, youll get some good pain meds :)

[scootertrash]

Hmmm this still on? Weather looks like it will be rather nice for a little evening ride and some grub.

[minig0d]

I have no faith of street tires over gravel on concrete... knobby tires the gravel can go between the knobs... street tires just slide over the gravel until it rests on concrete... not a good combination especially on corners...

so if someone posts up where y'all are eating we'll meet y'all there otherwise we'll just go eat some molten cake thing at chillis :)

[Katy]

:food; Blonde.e Cool12 oooooooo chocolate molten cake......

[Juice]

It's not about the food dude. Its all about the RIDE!!!!!!!!!

See... THis is why you NEED TO RIDE... SHarpen your road skills.. I rode alligator bayou road. When riding, you need to pick your line and stick to it...

Very simple, grow a set of balls......

[kenwelshons]

How about we meet on the other side of town and ride out HWY 22 or North to Denham... Seems like for the guys that do this ever week y'all would want to change it up a little. Or if Alligator Bayou road is that near and dear, how about turn left and head out to Lutcher for some food? I don't like going back to BR. I spend too much of my time there. Just a suggestion...

I like this idea, we could head out and hit Aligator Bayou Rd. Then run somewhere back up 22 and hit 16 and then eat at say Berthelots, Chili's in Denham, or somewhere different? From what I am seeing the weather will be nice, and then we can hit whatever and find somewhere to eat. Meet up same place and we can devise a route to suit or needs. Either way look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.
till then Coffee12

[minig0d]

weather should be nice.. and i'm a fat kid its all about tha food... I like to ride just not the style riding ya'll do apparently :)

[Ritten]

That scooter looks a bit too close to the R6. May I suggest something that may be a bit more suitable towards what you're looking for...

Ted...

I bet that Vespa would rock tho~ I'd take it on Alligator Bayou road...

No doubt!! I'd be doing things to that little scoot that may not be suitable for children to see. ESPECIALLY in the gravel...Banana12

Oops He won't ride that Nick, doesn't have a steering stabalizer on it! Gay

























And Ted that AeroStar is freakin pimp! Is that what you all rock down in Houma?

[Ritten]

And Ted that AeroStar is freakin pimp! Is that what you all rock down in Houma?


Dude, there is NOTHING that chicks love better than a baby blue Aerostar, 4 cyl, 7 passenger beast sportin 15" hubs and a car seat. We're talking vinyl floor, scotchguard seats, and french fries in the cup holders. For extra points stick a "baby on board" yellow sign in the back window!

You get you one of those bad boys and they'll be coming out of the woodwork!!

[Katy]

aerostars ARE hot! but only WITH the french fries in the cup holder.

[Loss4wrds]

Man you guys are ruthless... Both me and Checkman from the other board almost ate it on Alligator Bayou road. Last time I rode it. He hit the first bit a gravel in the corner and slid out some and almost went into a tank slapper when he got traction. I almost ran into a truck pulling a boat that was in my lane and a suicidal squirrel, both were when I was leaned over in a corner but we ran that road at a pretty fast pace. You could slow down to 30mph or so in the corners and a little slower in the big one with the guard rail and have no worries at all. But that's just my $.02

Anyway it looks like I am going to miss this ride again... I forgot that I promised my step-daughter that if she practiced all week we would let her test for her next belt tonight at her Tae Kwon Do class. ($50)
I may be able to get out and ride after the testing but don't know just yet. Testing starts @ 6pm I may try to call Kevin or Brian if I get out to see where you guys are...

[scootertrash]

I think that your afraid she will beat you up if you don't come through on what you promised her.....Dragonslayer'

Hey Kev.

I think he is afraid of getting passed by a dualsport........ Bartmoon

[bayoubikebruiser]

Help get me to the meeting point. I'm a yankee-with-a-u-haul and don't have the recon experience of the rest of you.

This "Old Perkins" can be found on yahoomaps just East of I-10 on Highland......twice. Once on the West side of the tracks and once on the East side of the tracks about 1/8th mile apart. The obvious clue would be the gas station, but I'm coming from the old Bon Marche Mall in HUGE traffic and may just make it in time, so don't want any mistakes my first time trying to get there.

Is this meeting place down where Highland hits I-10? Is it quicker to:

Take I-10
Take Essen to Perkins to Highland to Old Perkins
Take Airline...shit, I can't even type that with a straight face.

Anyone up for a mini-convoy from BR?

[Juice]

The Exxon station is right in front of the Blue Bayou water park on Highland. If I was you EJ. I would take Government to Jefferson to airline to Highland.

[minig0d]

bayou: the meeting point is on Highland Road at the Exxon I believe (unless I missed something)... Get off the I-10 at Highland Road and go NORTH off the exit (if you are coming from Baton Rouge heading out towards gonzales/new orleans on I-10 that will be a left off the bottom of the exit and you'll see the Exxon 1/4 mile up on your right hand side....

And Juice if ya'll nutcasses wanna run faster than me you're welcome too which is why I pulled over and let ya'll go first :) As far as what I ride how can you talk about it Nick you don't even have a dualsport OR a real streetbike... allthough that huffy you have will probably be a lot of fun around them curves with gravel :)

And I'm glad Loss4words was able to concur that streetbike tires and those roads with gravel are fking dangerous... and nick if you think you can do better I wanna see you go down that road since you have street tires on your bike at 40+ MPH...

[Ritten]

... and nick if you think you can do better I wanna see you go down that road since you have street tires on your bike at 40+ MPH...




ooooohhh.......I feel a "triple-dog dare" about to happen!!

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d71/Thetedeo/tongue_stuck_on_pole.jpg

[Juice]

Alligator Bayou Rd is the best road within a 50 miles radius of Baton Rouge. There are many places that you can get a knee down. Every time I ride through that swamp I find myself missing the RC-51.

I'm just busting your bubble Mini. Have fun dude, Ride your own ride. That is what it is all about.

Hey Mini

Sometimes it takes more brains the Balls.......I dont think juice has much of option #1

[Juice]

About 95% of the time Balls is all you will ever need.............



Hey Dennis why don't you meet me @ Deal Gap so I can punt your ass off the Mountain?1234de





Hey Mini

[bayoubikebruiser]

Dang, half of you come off like you need training wheels, the other half like you're the local hotshoe. This should be a hoot for a guy who falls in between. All I gotta do is be faster than the slowest guy!

I'm more concerned about cops...
http://news.stepforth.com/images/misc-news/dumb_cop.gif

I have no idea what to expect, so I'll be sportin' the safety gear...

[Drivin&Cryin]

Come on a T-shirt should suffice. Its just a bunch of old guys on dirt-bikes.qwer

[bayoubikebruiser]

Help out the FNG, then:

Are you guys going balls-out on this run? It sounded like it. I don't mind if you're picking a relatively cop-free route. I can hang. I'd rather not bulk up with the safety crap if you're not roosting rocks and backin' it in on 180deg switchbacks. I top out at 102mph and can sustain 90mph 'til it blurbles to reserve. I'm very comfortable in the 70-80mph range. The first time riding with you, though, I'll be riding drag 'cause I don't know the route or you're riding styles.

Hmmm.... do you think motocross boots go with tattoos? Does the slim seat make my ass look big?

I'm starting to sound like my wife...... asdf

[Juice]

EJ.

The talk is far worse then the Bite. It will be a brisk pace, not balls to the wall. I'm still working on getting my new tires scrubbed in.
I normally wear jeans street shoes, leather jacket and gloves. If we do my route there will be very minimum traffic till we hit the city for food.

any word on the eating location yet?

[bayoubikebruiser]

Lookin' forward to it!

Not watching the CLOCK (http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Central/d/-6/java)....

NOPE (http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/mp/2005/06/02/images/2005060200180301.jpg), not me.

C'mon (http://www.fotosearch.com/comp/corbis/DGT422/CB101004.jpg), dammit.....

[Juice]

You should get your some 606's for your chair.........Cool12

[scootertrash]

EJ, were not runnin SuperMotard Extreme.

Nor will we be riding a SuperCross, however we might hit some twisties, lil straight line speed, and then converge on a target of some sort of food joint and consume and consoledate by fire. Don't think you need to go overkill on the safety gear, however what you feel is good to wear you do so. And motocross boots def. go with tatoos. My ass makes itself look big, not the seat....... and why did you have to mention the clock?

[Loss4wrds]

There are only a few spots on that road that you would get up to triple digits, and if you did, your hard on the breaks for the next turn....
I'm not scared to run that road hard but both times I have ran it hard there were at least 2 spots each time that my heart was in my throat. I'm no super rider or anything but I have gone down due to loose gravel on pavement and when your committed to a line and a little gravel crosses the line your on there is always that hold your breath, hold the line, and think about how much you spent on the last set of tires and how old they are....
I would say you hit mid 70's between corners and about 45mph or so thru all but one turn. The one with the guard rail I haven't taken over 30mph yet but I might just be a sissy...
Great road, great pavement, no place for cops to hide, but I would like to go out there and sweep the trash out of the corners and then I wouldn't have any problems kicking it up a notch and see if I could drag the pegs on the SV.

Oh and I am scared the 8yo will whoop up on me if I skipped out on the promise I made her. Little kids are mean and attack the lower half of your body...

[bayoubikebruiser]

Dooooooon't get me wrong. I ain't the fastest guy out there by a long shot. I'm not afraid to push, though. I'm okey-doke futzin' around havin' fun on the way to vittles.

Is it 5PM, yet? I'll be rolling directly from the data center!

[kenwelshons]

Juice, I want to make it, but there is no way I can make the 6:30... maybe closer to 7:00. I'll call you around 6:30 to see where y'all are heading and I can meet at and different point. If you DON'T hear from me it means I AM IN ROUTE so hang out at the exxon for a bit.

I'll ride my gravel lovin' busa...

[Craig]

I'll be to drunk to go by then ...

[nickatnite]

and nick if you think you can do better I wanna see you go down that road since you have street tires on your bike at 40+ MPH...

Dood.. Been down it several times..... THat is why I suggested that you ride it more to learn to stick to your lines.
When you are going intoa curve and there is gravel in the middle, you either run inside or run outside and square it off....

Go back home and play nintendo or something....

[Craig]

I made it .. didn't ride .. but I made it to the meeting place!

[bayoubikebruiser]

It was good meeting you guys!

Alligator Bayou Rd. is a hoot! Played careful the first time out, but Brian and Kevin's motors were still warm when I showed up at the end....

Fun runnin' back on River Rd. Good food at The Cathouse!

Looking forward to next time!

[Juice]

Nice To finally meet you too EJ. One Saturday when we get back from the Gap we will take you out to St Franny and show you the good roads.

I got to get me a SuperMotard. That thing looks like a blast.

E.J. Rules…. He scares sorority girls.

To whoever said you can’t do triple digits on Alligator Bayou Rd. the only reason they had to wait for me was because I refused to go into triple digits with a 20 mph limit.

[scootertrash]

Good Times Good Times, EJ, Ken good meeting you two. Had a blast. Can't wait till next week.

[Drivin&Cryin]

I saw you guys on Government about 8:00? I was coming out of Superior grill when you guys passed. That Red KLR sounds like a v-twin...........

[Loss4wrds]

To whoever said you can’t do triple digits on Alligator Bayou Rd. the only reason they had to wait for me was because I refused to go into triple digits with a 20 mph limit.

Well your a better man than me... I haven't hit triple digits on that road for more than like a 2 count. Well except when you finish up and head out the straights. But I have only rode that road 3 or 4 times so far. qwer
Looks like you guys had allot of fun. I will make it again one of these days...Bable12 Head Bang

[bayoubikebruiser]

That Red KLR sounds like a v-twin...........

I asked him what kind of can he ran. I told him even though the Dr. was going to say, "Well, then don't let him pass you", I'd have to tell him something to explain the headache!!

Last night totally changed my opinion of the mondo-gi-hugic KLR650. In the hands of a competent rider, it'll move! I like the low-end torque. Exhaust noise to air-under-front-wheel ratio was impressively low....Kevin excluded. ROFL

Brian, fix that speedo. 99mph DRZ shimmy may be 100mph shimmy on a KLR and I want to know!

Man, the ride home was a liiiiitle bit chilly. Bring on the SUMMER! Long rides ending with a romp in the pool and a bonfire cookout!

[scootertrash]

I saw you guys on Government about 8:00? I was coming out of Superior grill when you guys passed. That Red KLR sounds like a v-twin...........

I am hoping that is a good thing.... I love how my new pipe sounds...

[Juice]

The road conditions where a mess too. Probably the worse I have ever seen it. There was the more the normal gravel factor in the turns, sticks, the sun & a couple of big dogs. But everyone made it through without incident.

It sounds great Dude. It’s just not the sound that you would expect from a KLR. The guy on the Motard looked like something out of Mad Max beyond Thunder dome………..That is a cool looking little bike. Was that you Bayoubruiser?

You're much different in person.

[bayoubikebruiser]

Brian-

[JayD]

I think I saw you guys at the Exxon station when I was on my way to football practice. I saw one dual sport bike and one street bike. One dude dressed in leather pants (yeah baby) and another dressed in jeans. Right guys?

Kim

[bayoubikebruiser]

Ya know, if it didn't violate natural laws, I think I'd marry my bike. I love that darn thing!

That was alot of fun!
