    First group ride!

    Last evening I went for my first group ride! It was with the Christian Motorcyclist Association. There were about 35 bikes, Mostly HD's, Goldwings, a BMW, one new GSXR and one '78 GS1000! ME! I had the oldest bike there. It was so cool. I saw an old friend I bump into once in a while was checking out my bike. I hollered, "What's that you're eyeballing?" He says with a big smile, "That your's?" I guess my sh1t-eating grin gave it away. It got a lot of nods.

    The ol' girl ran awesome and had lots of snort to pass a pokey dude on a sportster HD.

    Man, it's fun being different! one of two dudes there with a full face, and the oldest bike there.

    Kick ass!

    Well, a 78 1000 is as legendary as it gets for Suzuki. That bike made the entire company and Wes Cooley famous!

    '81 GS 1100EX - "Peace, by superior fire power."
    '06 FZ1000 - "What we are dealing with here, is a COMPLETE lack of respect for the law."

    I ride, therefore I am.... constantly buying new tires.

        I'm not a at all embarressed to say that I was disapointed with the speed of the ride. I wanted to open 'er up and see what the old girl would do! :-D

          I LOVE group rides. Thats why I belong to the SCRC!!! You should check them out, maybe start a chapter in your area! When I started the local chapter it ws the only one in BC. There are now 4 on the island and 3-5 more on the mainland. My '78 GS 1000 has been the oldest bike in the chapter ever since I started it!!!! I LOVE it!

          However the pace of a group ride is SLOWER compared to riding alone. It just simply HAS to be. Our chapter has the speed limit +10 kph rule that we follow pretty close.

            Good deal.

            Last Saturday I went on the Run for the Son with 3 CMA chapters and about 80 bikes and the week before I went on the Ride for Kids ride with 450 bikes.

              Good stuff guys! I'm making friends with the CMA guys and plan to ride with them a lot. I just wish they kept the posted +10 rule instead of the posted -10 rule.

              It's cool riding with my brothers and sisters that aren't ashamed to ride with a "Jesus First" button on their vests.

                Our church has a bike club. COLF

                We need to get together again soon too.

                  Ours, too. We ride every Thursday night at 6:00, usually go out for 2 hours or so. Most nights there are just 5 or 6 of us, but it's really fun group riding. Even though you can't really visit, the fellowship is good and real!

                  We are planning a run from here (Fergus Falls, MN) to Duluth in June for a weekend, running up the North Shore of Lake Superior. That should be a beautiful run.

                  I dream of riding my bike downtown Stillwater on some warm summer Friday night, as well!

                    thats really cool that your church does rides...I think that once I get a bike, I will be the only one to show up to the service on two wheels:-D .

                    I dont know many other people that ride, so those in my area, we gotta organize something (once I can ride, of course!)
