Mid-Tenn TGO Motorcycle Ride

TDR

I would be afraid to have that thing outside.....EVER ! To good looking. Love the green! You do not see that every day. Looks comfy too!

Living in an apartment, It has little choice but to be outside. I do have a very heavy-duty cable lock, and an alarm system I'm about to install. I also keep a motorcycle cover on it.

There are some minor imperfections that don't really show in the pictures, but most of them will be taken care of over the winter.

Yes, it's pretty darn comfy, even for my fat ass.

Paul tells me that you all will be on the Natchez Trace for a bit. A few years ago, I was bored on New Years Eve day, and so I fired the Ducati up and shot a video of the northern end, headed south. It's a bit of a different video, in that I messed with the colors, and purposely rode into the sun, and so on. I started at about 45 and slowly got to about 80 as the grove came on. Part way through you'll hear that great Ducati 90-degree v-twin sound. Also, you can see me dodging a few slick ice spots, since it was late December.

You all have fun. Here's the video:

Thanks for sharing the video. Could have listened to much more of that V-Twin. Very nice.

If you feel up to it, we'd love to have you on the ride.

Thanks again.

If I can't make this one, I'll sure try in the future!

My wife's bike

[TripleDigitRide]

Well, I'm glad to see at least one more cruiser in the bunch, even if it is a girl.

Looks like we may be out numbered.

[Rightwinger]

ZZR has to ride behind his wife!!

My little bike will fold up and cry when he brings that monster out!

I thought there would be cruisers than sportbikes.

[ZZRguy]

I do not ride that fast, its just for show.

Here is an old pic of my ride. Still want know if I can make it till that week.

So did I. I figured there would be fewer sport bikes than cruisers.

Bring'em on! We'd love to have ya.

It's mandatory that you take a vacation day.

What about an ugly old green truck?

Sounds like a fun drive, but I don't have a bike. Would it be okay for a 53 year old tow rig to tag along? I can bring some tie down straps, just in case...

Sidenote, speed limit for most of the ride is 55, correct? I'd hate to slow y'all down...

Bring it on! You never know, those tie-down straps may come in handy. Lets hope not, though.

I'm going to make him bring my long 4 wheeler ramp so if the worse does happen we can roll it up with some muscle power!

Good call.

[56FordGuy]

Flatbed's 9 feet long and about 7 feet wide. Should fit plenty of broke down two wheelers. So long as the floor holds, anyway. I should have that fixed by then, though.

Got the bike back this afternoon!

They can't find nothing wrong with it. It never leaked in front of them.

I put 2oz of ethanol fighting gas additive in it, filled it with 93 octane and hope that the problem may have been some trash in the fuel system holding something open when it shouldn't. I will say it was blown out well and I'm glad I live where traffic is light. Furthermore shall not be commented on!

So unless it goes up in a ball of flame, I'm ready to go.

(56Fordguy, we may want to put a 5 gallon gas can in the back of your truck along with the ramps, ya think?)

Good deal!

My bike could be done as early as tomorrow. It appears that the carb probably doesn't need rejetting. The Dyno guy said that someone had improperly installed something. So, with a little luck, he will finish the Dyno runs and have it ready tomorrow.

I can throw a gas can back there.

I keep a fire extinguisher in the cab too...just in case.

[TripleDigitRide]

Yea, the extra gas can't hurt. Good idea.

[Rightwinger]

I think we should buy lunch for the pit guy!
