New babies all around

Well, John an Lisa started it and now I have decided to wade in. NO! not another little Wantuch running around. If that happens, there will be a Urologist in Ann Arbor that is going to be very unhappy when he opens his mail. Actually, I hit on a great deal for an FJR and couldn't pass it up. Picked it up last week and got a 100miles in yesterday. As much as I loved my X, I can see this bike as being the one for quite some time. The VTX is going to be for sale soon, and all the grass has finally burned off of it. Still has the tank dents, but those are negotiatin points for the buyer. If you know someone...

Very Sweet, Chris. Judging by the color, that's an 07, right? Same color as John's? Now we'll get you matching outfits and you two will be quite the pair.

Seriously, when you get used to this machine, you'll be eating up the corners. When are you ready to hit the NC mountains?

Chris, this is awesome! You're really gonna like this bike. As much as John loved his SV1000, he had to admit that a man "his age" needed something that was a little more comfortable for the long haul. Good luck with the Honda. Thanks for posting!!
(And I'm glad you're urologist won't be receiving any angry letters).

Fall Ride in NC with the Bumble Bee

Matthew Powell, his buddy Ian, and I snuck in a Fall ride in the NC/TN mountains. We had great riding, but ran into some thick fog in the mountain tops (blue ridge especially) and so looked for new territory. We found highway 209 from Interstate 40 to Hot Springs, NC. This was an excellent road. Horses, windmills, dilapidated barns, a waterwheel; very beautiful and pastoral. And nice twisties and no traffic. Check it out: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=lake+junaluska,+nc+to+Hot+Springs,+NC&sll=35.588085,-82.878799&sspn=0.252952,0.473099&ie=UTF8&z=10&om=1 Fontana Lake is 60 feet low! BMW, Honda Interceptor, Triumph Speed Triple: all single sided swing arm bikes. And boy did they get a workout on these roads. Look at Matthew's bright yellow pack. Hence the title of this post, "Bumble Bee"

I wanted to thank Lisa Davis for inviting me to join ABioBikers...I didn't even know this blog existed until I saw her at work last week in Foster City. For those of you that don't me, I've been riding for 19 years, sportbikes the entire time. Raced with the AFM in Northern California for five years, and since have done a number of track days and many, many rides around California. With all our weather in 2006, I haven't ridden much yet this year (instead, I've been squeaking in bicycle rides between rain storms), and my 2001 CBR needs to get in for an interval service (32,000 miles!), a new chain and tires, and a Penske shock rebuild, but I will have it on the road very soon and will be posting reports and photos from rides. BTW, I am also a track photographer for Laguna Seca and Infineon Raceways, so I will be posting links to photos from events here if you're interested in seeing them. Be seeing you soon (on the road, I hope)! Here is a link to my current Spo
