Last long ride of the year

[Thevmaxrider]

Went out today for what is probably the last long ride of the year with my wife. Put 150 miles on and had a blast!! Here are some pics from around the area. Unfortunately this is probably it for the season:tantrum:

It looks real pretty in your part of the world. But you guys should come down here to Florida - we ride all winter and it's our best season! :clapping::eusa_dance:

:hijacked:

Just wondered - with your 19" rear wheel, upside down forks, solid motor mounts etc, do you ever still get any high speed wobble? :ummm:

Are you able to take high speed (85+mph) bends and go over bumps while banked over without any fear of a tank slapper? :ummm:

Jealous of you Florida folks, I was in the US Navy stationed in Mayport, Fl back in the 80's so know the nice weather you get. As to your questions, no to the high speed wobble, and I can take high speed corners no problem, bumps and all. We have an "aggresive" ride here in July and the road is twisty, nasty, and has a tendancy to take out its fair share of bikes in a year. I have been known to run this road at very high speed (180kmh +) with no issues, even before I put on the USD front end.

Don't be, my wife thinks I am crazy:biglaugh: I will say that there are some corners on that road that I slow down to 100kmh on, but they are the ones posted at 50:eusa_dance:

 

[naughtyG]

well I am cos I would ride like you but can't as wobbles would kill me!!

 

[Thevmaxrider]

LOL, I have spent a lot of $$$$ to cure the wobbles. 18" radials, USD front end, solid motor mounts, and Progressive 418 rear shocks. Bike is on rails now, think and it turns.

 

[naughtyG]

yes, that's what I'm afraid of. I just can't invest that kind of cash in my ride..
