Are there any R1 riders who meet and ride on weekend near Minneapolis?? I havent run into another R1 rider in a long while...Actually, I havent run into any sport bikes recently.

Thanks,

I'm in Apple Valley but don't ride on the street much, maybe first Thursday's every once in a while. Come on up to BIR or over to DCTC for some real fun.

Cool, lets see who else would want to meet up...

burn-z, What is DCTC first? Also what are the requirements necessary to bring the bike onto BIR? I have to agree with CAPT, it seems sport bikes are few and far between in MN. Im out by Willmar right now, way to flat and straight with all the corn fields. Duluth area in the state parks is fun.

DCTC, Dakota County Tech. College. They have a road course there, i think for police training, but Starr Cycle where i live, (Mankato), takes us up there once a month and lets us ride. It's a fun little track to get to know your bike and just general riding. I live about and hour and a half south, but always looking for a ride, and know many great roads as well, right in your back yard. As far as riders go, you could check out twistedaddiction.com. Nice group of guys, but tend to ride aggressive all the time. Hope it helps

I live in Roberts, just east of Hudson, and would like to ride. But my bike is horribly slow compared to the rest of yours. Depending on how fast you like to ride, I wouldn't mind going for a ride. Is DCTC fun to ride? I was excited to go there and ride, but someone told me it was rough.

DCTC is fun to ride but it's not rough. It is very physically demanding on a liter bike and quite technical having 19 turns in just over a mile. It's not free either. Several groups sponsor schools or trackdays there. ZARS has the most days there and it's an actually a riding school with instruction between sessions as well as on track. They actually instruct most of the mc cops in the state there as well. ZARS is also one of the only organiztions to host trackdays at BIR.

I live in the Mpls area(Loretto) and am always game for a ride!

I have a few nice routes out my way that I'm willing to host on a Sat/Sun if anyone is interested.

Thanks,

Lets see if we can get a few more responses here and then try to set up a late day/ night ride somewhere..
