I should be good for the second sunday after thanksgiving.  Just like flaxb9r and I were talking about.  That will honestly be my last ride before I rip my bike apart though haha!  Don't worry, come next year my bike should be looking better than ever, and have a new exhaust and intake .  And maybe a wideband and tuning, but we'll see how much money I have to stretch...

I should be good to go for that next moutanin run too, guys.. I got jealous of those factory badges you guys have. If I knew that I was going to keep the Amber wheels and windscreen Id go ahead and buy them now. Im getting kinda sick of the 2 Pegasuai on my airbox, thinking about pullling them.. what do you guys think? Keep em or chuck em?

Bump to see who is in for the sugarloaf mt. ride . Also any others in the area who may be . @Gloom I don't think the pegs look bad but I also don't have to see them everyday . If your getting sick of them I say chuck'em . I think the factory badges should be a definetley add to your bike but I too would wait if I planned on changing color/theme . Just my .02

I'm sort of on the fence right now.  I can't let you know for sure until saturday night.  Honestly I likely won't be able to go, and probably won't ride anymore until I get my forks rebuilt.  I rode over thanksgiving (in the sugarloaf mountain area) and some of the road conditions were pretty poor and I felt pretty unsafe between my forks and oil soaked front brake pads.  Probably best for my safety and others safety if I don't ride anymore until I get it all straightened out.  On a good note though I found a lot of great roads out there (I rode about 8 hours the one day all in that area).

I didn't feel the roads on the route we took were poor at all but I also wouldn't disagree with you if you choose not to ride considering your saftey .

Yeah the roads in that area were good, but I circled around south of hwy 50 and found some pretty rough roads there lol.  Like REALLY rough, although they were pretty twisty for florida.  I think I'm going to pass and stop pushing my luck like I have been for the past 2,000 miles and 1 year riding around with my forks needing rebuilt and front brakes soaked in fork oil (making them about half useless).  I'll be back riding after the new year sometime.

Didn't know your front end was that bad Sean. Probably a good call tho, considering. My offer still stands if you need help.    I have seen a few Buell's running around at school lately that I haven't seen before. I will try to track down the owners and spread the word. Either way, I'm in for Sunday. Still meeting up there? or do we wanna find a mid-point for all of us?

I'm down to meet wherever but what would be a middle point ? I've tried to look at the map and figure a way to meet on the other end closer to your side of town and the only thing I could think of would be I4 & the turnpike ? Just let me know and I'll be there .

west orlando ride Here's basically where I rode last weekend, I spent much more time out exploring other roads, but basically took this loop around.  Started at eagle rider on sand lake where my brother rented a bike and looped around and returned there.  At the corner of highway 50 and avalon road is a 7-11(I think that's what it is), that's a great place to meet up. I'm going to skip out, I'll be riding again next year   Have fun!

Well that link didn't work for some reason .  Anyway, hwy 50 and avalon is a good meeting point, should be near half way for you guys too.

You are right, not really a good half way spot to meet, so starbucks is cool with me. @ATF, I don't know if you wanna ride 2 hours to meet, but if you wanna go, take I4 to exit 94 go left and the starbucks is about a half mile down on the left.

We need to set a date for a FL ride for early next year . We should do the Ozello trail ride . Google says 2hrs 15mins from my house and roughly 1hr 30mins from tampa . It would definitley have to be an all day thing at least . If yall haven't looked in to it yet google ozello trail . A lot of info on it and even you tube videos . Everyone leave feed back and lets get this set in stone then when can promote it more and try to get as many Buells out as possible .

Not positive yet, but I may have to back out. There's a good possibility I will have to run down to Sarasota tomorrow morning. I'll let you know either way tomorrow.

Just watched the news and from what there saying now looks like it is going to be nice in the morning and not any showers till the afternoon and then only a chance of showers @ 20% and the say the best chance would be on the coast too . Looking positive I'll check back later and I'll also be staying posted with the weather/news .
