We are trying to pool together some wisconsin riders for the upcomming season to ride together...post your name and location if interested...its not limited to r1's obviously so tell your friends

There's quite a few people I ride with from the Minneapolis area. We make our way into Wisconsin pretty often to hit up the alphabet roads.

Sun Prairie here

There is a VERY slight chance I may be moving back. Emphasis on slight. If the wife and myself decided to have kids any time soon, we'll probably be moving back to be closer to family. Although I really don't want to. :(

Racine, wi here

Madison, Wi here.

I have a buddy in madison and I plan on ridding up there with a crew of other guys to meet him and ride around madison...when it warms up we should all ride together...

ON the Illinois/Wisconsin Border near I-90. Get a ride near Madison, or Milwaukee and I am coming. Others from IL will come as well

Milwaukee here right by UWM

I got a few people I ride with in Minneapolis that might be down with a Wiscosin run too. (Some of the from the SA crew)

Phat...you have any mods on your bike or all stock??? We will have to for sure ride when it warms up...Ive had the bike out yesterday actually

NIce...are you looking for an R1 or anything good you find? My buddy just bought a good used bike at road track and trail. I think there in menomonee falls. Google them and take a look at thier bikes...they ahve like 300 used ones (if thats what you are looking for)

HAHA yeah just for a little while tho!! LOL

We got around a foot up here in Madison yesterday. Pretty depressing... :beer

Tuesday I saw an 06 R6 out for a ride and today we have a foot of snow on the ground.......... Only in Wisconsin.:cryin

It is supposed to be like 40s-50s in se wisconsin after it rains for the next few days (clearing the salt off the road hopefully) so i think its about time to ride!

I agree 100% That is what I am hoping for too, but everyone says that March is our heavy snow fall season...Hope not. I am so sick of doing wheelies in my head and balancing the bike off the kick stand in the garage and timing myself!! LOL

I know I know...:iamwithst

I am in the Milwaukee area. Bought my first bike last year, but don't have any friends that ride. Yes, I am one of the squids who bought an R1 right off the bat. :crash :rock

Count me in for a ride.

I went from a 600 katana to an r1 and people give me so much shit for it. I also tell people that I have been ridding dirt bikes since I was 5, and they still dont think Im ready for an R1. So almost no matter what people will say be careful on an R1 no matter your exerience. As long as you dont get hurt, who cares that the R1 is your first bike.

Have you had it out this year yet? I took it out on friday and saturday. Keep watching this post, Ill let you know when we are going out to ride

I was out on Saturday. The weather channel said it was 63 degrees! It was actually a really nice day to ride. I wasnt able to jam on the wheelies like I wanted because it was pretty windy, but nonetheless I snuck a few in.

Did any of you guys get out?

Yeah, I agree with you entirely. I had a dirtbike for a while in high school and anyone who says ridding dirt doesn't mean anything when ridding street is on crack. Given the bikes are completely different, I think I learned a great deal because I was much more daring with the the dirtbike. I think it helps teach you your limits. On the street, I don't really mess around as it seems like there is more to lose.

I haven't had it out yet this year, but have started her up. Recently changed the plugs and fuel filter. Made a world of difference - she sounds angry for being couped up in the cold garage all winter :mad:. Need to take care of the chain and change the oil, and she will be good to go. Just got back from Jamaica otherwise I probably would have taken it for a quick ride this last weekend as it was pretty warm. I'll keep an eye on this post to see when you guys ride. Is there a lot of people that just get together from this forum and others?

I just bought my r1 fairly recently so im not really sure if people really get together and ride from this forum...but thats why I started this thread because my friends dont have bikes like the r1, they have bikes like 600 nijas and stuff like that. so when i want to get on the throttle they just get so far back and i have to wait up for them (although its a good ego boost, sometimes you wanna just go fast and not wait up) so anyways, i want to ride with more people that have r1's etc for hat reason. I hopping between my friends and the r1 people im trying to meet here we can assemble a fun crew and just go out and cruise and shit like that.:riding :riding

It is suppoed to start getting really nice after friday so Im gonna take out my bike and my summer cars and start enjoying the warmer weather.

I just saw on the weather channel that we are supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow on thursday!!!:fact :scared

Yeah, Ive been there before they have a nice selection. Ive been to Don and Roys also, but they didnt have anything that caught my eye. It looks like soon Ill be picking something up(I just want my money already, arrghh!!!). I want a liter bike (Prefer a 02-ish R1) My search for one will get more intense during spring break Im so jazzed about this I could pop!:thumbup

-J

Johnson Creek here. Just picked up an 04 R1 today.

appleton here

Now if it would quit raining.

Just got my bike out Friday for the first time this year, but not without difficulties. As I was dewinterizing it, I found that I must have picked up screw with my rear tire on one of my last rides last year Had to buy a new rear tire, but got it out on the road shortly after.

Im about to go nuts :mad:
Im expecting some owed money soon and there are some nice bikes out there for sale!!!
I just seen three guys on Gixxers by Mayfair this weekend and that made me even worse!!!
I dont want to harrass my sister for the money she owes me but Im starting to get impatient!!! the weather sucks today but it will only get better from here.
I guess good things comes to those who wait! (I hope)


- - Has anyone ever been to Chicago Cycle? Are they any good or should I just head over to road track and trail if the bike that I want isnt around by the time Im able to get it?

-J

This weekend, some of us from Minnesota will be going over to hit 35, then down to Wabasha. Cross over and hit 60, which is a blast to ride.

Any of you guys up for meeting us in Prescott?

Actually I am planning on heading up...you going?

Yea heading up there probably saturday to watch the races & qualifying.

Please dont hate me for hijacking the thread, but I am looking for a trailer to haul my bike to MN. I live in Madison, WI and would need it only for 1 day so I can move my bike, and other things.

Anyone? :dunno

All you Madison fools check out MadisonSportbikes.com to check out some locals. There are tons of people from around the state there, but mainly Madison!

Any of you guys still around? :beer

Right here!
