cbr owners in Michigan - Page 2

Yea we ride up around there all the time. I would like to go but I will be going up north this weekend and not sure what time sunday I will be home. Next time you go let me know.

Yea I'll hit you up next time... I'll try to give a little more notice too. But you know how it goes.

I'll have to hook up with you guys next time I'm in your neck of the woods. My girlfriend lives near Marine City so I like to take a ride over that way from time to time, usually once a month or so.

I used to be from Mich. then last year moved down to florida. I lived in Davison and never missed a Friday night on good old Dort Hwy. Man I sure do miss them hookers on Dort.

Of course, I am the only guy in the U.P. again, arent I?

Man if I would have known there was another member in the U.P. I would have gotten ahold of you while I was living up there! I just moved back downstate after living in Kinsgord for a few years. Also graduated from Tech in 2000. I'll tell ya though, it's a lot nicer having another 2 months to ride down here

jjkukla- Small world. I live in Iron Mountain. I don't know anyone around here who rides a sportbike. Everyone I know owns a Harley. So it is usually just me out bummin around town. Up the highway, through Niagara to Florence on the one halfway twisty road I know of with decent blacktop, and back into town. Know of any good roads to ride?

Damn, that's too bad bro. I was only there for a few years (like I said before) so most of the time I rode solo as well. I did meet up with a few guys, who are pretty crazy I must say, and I rode with them once or twice. There's a guy (Shane) who rides a Gixxer 1000, he works at the waste water plant (near the bridge into Aurora). Another guy (John I think) works at the 10 minute oil change next to Dairy Queen. He rides a blue 600rr.

Dude, as far as roads go, you've gotta take Highway 70 from Florence out to Tipler. Brand new asphalt a couple years ago, couple nice curves in there. Then once you get to Tipler you can either turn around and head back or go on up to Iron River. From there I have taken Old US-16 (aka Federal Forest Highway 16, which is a few miles west of Iron River) up to Kenton, very nice stretch of road but make sure you're fueled up! Then along 28 to Covington, back through Crystal Falls, and so on.

If you're up for a little shorter ride, Foster City Road is nice. Just head past Waucedah then up Foster City Rd. to M-69, then west back to M-95.

Other than those few, I couldn't tell ya. The roads are rather lame up that way... the snow and ice does a number on the asphalt!

I believe Tre CBRF4i lives in/near Davison. I am up in Montrose... not too far from there. A few of us might be riding up to Old Orchard Park this weekend (Saturday). For those that don't know where Old Orchard is, it's just a little west of Oscoda on the Au Sable River - it's a really big campground. I plan on staying there Saturday night (mom's b-day on Sunday and she has a camper there) but the others plan on heading back to Clio on Saturday night.

If anyone is interested, just post here. We'll prob leave the Clio area around noon or so. It's a couple hour ride... depending on the route.

Yeah, man always looking for riding buddy's in the flint area. I will get back with you, but I might have to tag along on that ride. More than a few hours isnt it? Montrose isnt that far away from where I reside. Email me with some details. I will probley be game for the Sat ride.

Sorry montecarl33, the ride was this PAST Saturday.

At any rate, you're all lucky you didn't come up with me. Witnessed a fatal motorcycle accident in Au Gres. NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND THIS WEEKEND. Actually I didn't see the guy get hit, lots of cars in front of me, but I saw him lying in the grass. I was the 3rd or 4th person to reach him but he was already gone. I covered him with my jacket until someone brought a blanket. EMT's couldn't revive him... I left shortly after they put him in the ambulance.

Talk about a long ride the rest of the way... and then back home yesterday.

Well, shit. Kinda disapointed that I missed a ride, but it doesnt sound like you guys had any fun. Seeing that kinda stuff scares the sh** out of you sometimes. Saw someone at the Stewart Cruise (Dort HWY) a few years ago racing a mustang with what looked to be a GSXer 750. The guy lost it and went down and everyone scatered. I dont believe the guy made it. That shit kinda makes you think to pay attention to all the other a**holes out there who dont pay attention to you. Anyways anyone who is doing some riding in my area (Flint/Davison), hit me up.

where is the royal oak bike night at

Hopefully I will be out there is coming thurs. Its a gathering right, or do you guys do some riding?

See u guys out there. I am down, got to get a throttle cable on before I go(sticky throttle) I have the day off tomorrow so there should be no problems.

i wont be able to make it to the meeting spot at the BP, but ill see ya at RO. gotta work a bit late tomorrow. ill have a red icon mesh jacket on.

So you guys meeting up tomorrow? I was down there last week and we all took the girlfriends for dinner, but didn't stay to late.

every thursday they meet at the BP then ride to RO. its best to check out the redlinesportbike threads for info.

Yea I didn't make it today... maybe next week.

i was late. i had to deliver a car to a customer in port huron. next weekend for sure.

Thats funny. I didnt make it eather this week. Those cables took way longer than I expected. But shes all ready to go now, the teardown and put back together was the hardest part, the cables went right on. The funny thing was that I got done at 730 but I live like 40 miles away. I could have gone, but my buddies that I was going to ride down with had shit to do this thurs. to but I am planning on next thursday forshure.

Ok, so whos up for this thursday?
