My calendar is open 24/7. Simon Orttan 03-08-2002, 01:12 AM Come down to Wisconsin on the first Sunday of May for the Slimey Crud Rally. It's just west of Madison. a few thousand sport bikes won't scare you off will it? R1SpeedMaster 03-08-2002, 08:34 AM I'll be there. Have you ever ridden on the flood run? There are 2 of them, one in the spring & one in the fall. They run down the river & everybody meets at a bar (I can't remember the name tho). They are usually really fun, but the majority of the riders are Harleys (the racers usually separate & make our own riding group). solo 03-08-2002, 08:52 AM :machinegu cocked and ready to go:D .. let's put on some snow tires and chains and go ride :lol
I'm in Woodbury,MN
Usually ride Fridays, Saturday and sometimes Sunday.. if you like to ride in big groups try SA gas station @394 and Victoria Fridays and Saturdays around 9-10 PM.. on a good day there are over 40 sportsbikes .. or Lake Calhoun before sundown .. although those same guys sometimes will end up at SA.. solo 03-08-2002, 08:55 AM Slimey Crud Rally .. is that what it is .. I was staying at a hotel east of Milwaukee and there was bikers running around left and right .. see you there this year .. maybe it was a different event FuJi K 03-08-2002, 11:03 AM if only i had a bike........oh wait.....i can ride my bicycle!!
i can sprint up to almost 30mph well. when it starts to warm up and the ricers are starting to come out again, i'll be cruizing University Ave with my helmet and raced ready legs for some sprinting.
:cool: R1SpeedMaster 03-08-2002, 08:08 PM Solo, I live in Forest Lake. I would be happy to meet up with you guys this Spring (right now I just ride in really tight circles in my basement). Send me an email & we'll hook up. Woodbury eh? I grew up off of Valley Creek Road.
R1SpeedMaster@aol.com markeddy 03-12-2002, 01:35 PM Hey,
I also live in Forest Lake right across from the new High School. I have a buddy in Woodbury also that has a 2001 Blue R1 and a couple of other friends that own a Buell and F4i.
We would all be more than happy to meet up with anyone or have other people tag along.
One thing about the 394 runs, when I owned my 96 CBR600 F3 I did many a suicide run over to Anoka and other parts of town with those guys there, and at Tropics. After turning 30 and getting married I still love speed, like to wheelie, and goof off but not at the expense of someone else's life.
I don't recommend riding with anyone over there if your looking to ride somewhat safely and responsibly. The guy I bought my R1 from after trading in my 2000 F4i used to ride out there, he told me all sorts of wonderful stories about guys running close and hitting the kill switches as a joke, and doing alot of other garbage.
I myself can also attest to the antics, and although it's not everyone, it's enough people that can really F*CK many a thing up.
Call me old, stupid, whatever you want. But I value my life and my friends lives too, and I plan on riding for many more years!
Take it easy...
Mark solo 03-12-2002, 01:44 PM We only go to hang out @ SA or Lake Calhoun .. and once in a while we'll tag along and head up to Forest Lake or Prescott ...
I agree about those suicide runs .. if you decide to ride in a group w/ those guys out there be careful ... there is quite a few squids out there ...
wait til the weather gets better I have a few friends in the area who wouldn't mind riding w/ a few responsible riders :thumbup
my email is airborn_11@hotmail.com
or just come post a message here on the forum markeddy 03-12-2002, 02:15 PM I too can't wait to take my R1 out again, it wasn't but 2 1/2 weeks ago I pulled the ole R1 out from underneath the cover, put the battery in, and started her up, of course the weather at the time was 50 degrees.:)
Of course now we had more snow dumped on us shortly after.:bs
I look forward to getting together with everyone to go out and go riding again!:thumbup
Later... R1SpeedMaster 03-13-2002, 06:15 AM Count me in! I'll get ahold of you soon & we can plan rides. Have you been to the AMA Superbike races in Brainerd? It's a riot! We are planning a roadtrip to the Elkhart Lake, WI races in June too. You guys are more than welcome to come along!
I knew a guy from an old job that used to ride with the Tropics gang & he would always tell me how hitting other riders' kill switches was so much fun. I just don't get it. I guess I am old & moldy too.
R1SpeedMaster@aol.com
p.s.- Remember that guy that talked about hitting kill switches? He ended up wiping his bike out cutting in between 2 commercial trucks on the freeway & F*cking himself up pretty bad. What's worse is that he had a girl on the back & she got busted up everywhere, face and all. Nobody deserves that, but it was kind of expected. markeddy 03-14-2002, 01:32 PM You know I have never been up to Brainerd for AMA, I think that would be alot of fun!
I have another buddy that lives in Woodbury and owns and R1 also, and we were talking about trailering the bikes and heading to Daytona for bike week this year, although that is still up in the air...
Look forward to meeting up with you guys this year. Say you wouldn't happen to be part of the group of people that rides up to ZA' Pizzeria would you?
I see a group of guys up there once in a while, they park, eat some pizza and then go riding.

I want to R1 NOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNONWOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNONWONWONWONWOWNONWONWONOWNOWNOWNow R1SpeedMaster 03-16-2002, 07:37 AM Mark, the ride up to Brainerd is a lot of fun. We usually head out early Sat morning & come back on Mon morning (to avoid the a$$hole wanna-be racers). Brainerd used to be packed & a boat-load of fun, but the Colonel has turned things around. I would bet that w/in 2 years it will be shut down & turned into a golf course :mad: :mad: :mad: !!! Actually, he doesn't own the track, it's his WIFE! He is a twice convicted felon & can't own it. But anyway, last year at the race, I noticed townhomes already being built on the raceway grounds! Not to worry tho. There is word that a new track is being built in Sandstone (don't know if it will be just for NHRA or AMA as well).
To answer your question, no, I don't ride with those guys that go to 'Za. I've seen them once or twice, but I don't know them.
And BLove, I'll be over there for the Elkhart races on the weekend of June 7th. I ride with about 6 others all on Turbos (Hayabusa, ZX-11, etc - no R1s tho). They might have the turbos, but guess which bike all the girls flock to when we get there.... That's right, the R1!!!!!!!!!!!!! :boobies = :thumbup v2neal 03-31-2002, 08:20 PM Hi Guys, gimme a shout when your gonna go riding. I'm done with the SA crowd due to the death of one friend, brain damaged other friend, and the total lack of thinking with some of that group. Nuff said.
Anyway, I'm lookin to ride with new and responsible people. I'm on spotbikes.net, along with about ten other locals. We have been getting together for breakfast and kart racing at Pro Kart over the winter, but are all itchin' to ride.
Drop me a line at krisher4@usfamily.net

Me and my cousin both got 2002 R1's. We ride with a couple small groups. We went out friday crusied downtown and got caught in the Rain:bash The Flood run's a good time grew up down by Wabasha the main area for it. I'll be doing it agin this Year. WE ALL NEED TO RIDE SOME DAY. My email is cmpreussner@yahoo.com. :fact R1SpeedMaster 04-01-2002, 07:46 PM Howz about we plan an "all R1" ride to the superbike races in Brainerd? Admission is $50. Usually a good time had by all... :beer + :beer + :beer + :beer = :ugh
If not, I am willing to ride anywhere. Flood run is good, if you get out in front of the motorized couches (Harleys) & get 1st dibs on the beer!
Let me know.

Flood runs on the 20th Right. Brained a Blast This will be my thrid year camp by the Bandstand. It's were it all goes down:beer :beer :thumbup R1SpeedMaster 04-03-2002, 11:53 AM If any of you guys want to hook up, email me @ R1SpeedMaster@aol.com
I live in Forest Lake & have many bonfires with plenty of beer :beer = :rock !!!
Riders are always welcome. :thumbup
V2neal, I'm done with them too. That group is just an accident waiting to happen. Ride with normal riders that don't have anything to prove, like us.
Liter Boy, try camping out inbetween turns 3 & 4. Security usually leaves us alone & we get pretty crazy. The Grandstand area is always too crowded.
Always looking 4 new people to ride with. Liter Boy 04-03-2002, 06:08 PM We ended up down at that corner there was agreen tent put that was pretty fun. We also hope a ride on four wheeler full of women it was a good time:boobies v2neal 04-03-2002, 09:21 PM Cool. I hope to hook up and ride with you guys. I obviously don't have anything to prove 'cause I ride a SuperHawk:confused:
Yep I'm an invader. Came over from SBN, in reguards to the guy who crashed his '02 R1.
Anyway, I'm down for the Flood Run if it's not raining. I HATE riding in the rain.
Later, Neal Liter Boy 04-03-2002, 09:26 PM Hey Neal you live in the citties. I got a bud that rides a yellow superhawk in rush city area. I rode with a guy on hawk last year down by red wing. We took him with us we just had 600's but I think we suprised him a little:rock Simon Orttan 04-04-2002, 08:43 PM I've got a buddy over in Medford that want me to go to Brainerd with him. I'll prolly make a weekend of that and skip Road America.
As for the Slimey Crud Run...first Sundays in May and October, Pine Bluff, WI...Kitt's Corner Bar ...well, there's only room for one bar, the town is soooo small, Everyone rides to Leland, WI...population: 2 bars:thumbup
rain or shine markeddy 04-04-2002, 09:04 PM V2Neal,
Sorry to hear about your friends, that is not a good thing. I hope that their deaths were not due to riding with those crowds, if so that is very, very sad...
Those people that ride in those crowds have no respect for anyone's life including their own.:no
I look forward to hooking up with everyone this year, we should all plan a day once a week to meet up and ride. It would be fun to get an organized ride going with everyone.
Sounds like alot of good interest, looking forward to it.
