Well .........I got a nice surprise
The road leading to a local bridge is closed for a year.
This translates to a roughly 3/4 mile stretch of closed Road .......

2011 ........YEAH........A1 Man ........
........Hope to get the Flip Cam on the Bike next week-end for a show
and tell
.............closed road should be fun.........and safe to do so !

I hear ya Dave .................the way it's situated though .......many escape routes
and it takes quite a bit of driving to get around back to get to it ......... very out of the
way place.......don't think anyone would bother and if they did ........vamooooose ....I'd be gone ..........
it's all fenced off and all ! no entry for anything bigger than a bike or pedestrian.........only reason I'm doing it at all

Cool that you've got your own little strip, mark!
We used to all go to a place called "long lane". Nice 3/4 mile straight. Then over time, the last half got pretty bumpy..... not good at speed.
There was only one pull out on it, so we'd set someone there to hold people (not actually a road on, but a lot)
So what sprockets are you gonna go to? I'm looking at them again, too. I think I'm gonna stick with a stock front and +2 rear. I like it.
On the weather note... we had a beautiful weekend, and it's 58F here at 10pm, so I'm not bitchin'. Looks like rain in the near future, though.... which sucks cuz I planned on riding to Philly on Wednesday. It's a 3hr+ ride....maybe I'll just risk it and take my raingear. **** it.

Damn I say, Damn! I have not been home since June. All this talk about riding bums me out. I am stuck here in New Orleans working 12 hour night shifts and the only exciting thing is Hurricane Idi that missed us. That's about as close to a Hurricane that I have been in some time. I can't ride mine so I figured that I would ride out the Hurricane here. Big bummer!

Just get on it and go, **** the weather........
TBT, sorry to hear that.
My bike is parked outside at the moment waiting on me. I rode to work today, then took it out to lunch, and I'm gonna take the long way home.
Then it's a 3hr ride to Philadelphia tomorrow.
Like I said... sorry to hear that.

Just get on it and go, **** the weather........[/quote]
Many years ago , on a friday night, me and 5 other mates were sitting in our house in Melbourne contemplating going to a race meeting in the next State ..
It was raining and not real warm , but we all were slightly nuts back in those days and keen to go!! ...
With it still drizzling , we just got up , geared up and went ...
( 900 klms one way ) well it rained for the entire week end !! , to the extent that the main arterial Hyway was flooded shortly after we crossed the border ..
2000 klms of wind rain storms and assorted nasty chit later we got home ...
Was an experience that I said I would never do again ...and my misses and the chicks we all were carrying at the time said we would all be dead meat if we ever did that to them ever again ...
As the song goes ...
"yu gotta know when to hold up, know when to fold up, no when to walk away no when to run "
lol
