Ok... so looks like a couple of us are going to go on a ride Sunday afternoon in the twisties of Southeastern Missouri. If any of you would like to come/meet us somewhere or whatever, either pm me or email me or text me at 6 1 8-2 0 3-6 9 8 0. Plans are to leave from the Festus, MO area early afternoon and log about 160-180 miles round trip.

Trip will look something like this with possible detours depending on comfort.

Bixby Ride

We are hoping to have a few more bikes on the ride. Right now I know it will be me on my FZ6, my brother in law on his Honda VTR250, FZ6nick on his FZ6 and his dad on a 1050 Tiger.

A couple of co-workers of mine ride and may come along, one on a FZ6 one on a R6S.

Let me know what to plan on!

If you plan on coming from the Illinois side. PM or text me. 618-975-8586. we can ride there in a group.

fz6nick · 07-07-2008, 09:49 PM

Is anyone else from this area?

krid80 · 07-07-2008, 09:53 PM

I have a couple of guys on that other FZ6 forum that say they are coming.

I actually did the ride today just to scout the roads for nasties and graveltraps. All looks good! There is a little construction on Route 8 west of Potosi, but the workers said they won't be there Sunday and the road will be all open. I'm pretty excited, these are some fun roads and the scenery is pleasant too. We actually got rained on for about a combined total 10-15 minutes today around Bixby. Nothing bad, just enough to wet you then let you dry off, wet you again, and dry off again.

So, spread the word! Let's have a showing!

Im going to invite one of my neighbors, he has a cbr1000

krid80 · 07-07-2008, 10:54 PM

looks like we are going to have some pillion (passenger) riders so the pace will be moderate. Josh, a college buddy from Carbondale, is bringing his fiance and they are relatively new to two up riding so I told him we'd be courteous to that. I'm excited to meet other Fazer riders.

fz6nick · 07-07-2008, 11:02 PM

Sweet! Girls are always wanting rides on the FZ so ive dont a lot of 2 up riding.
