New to the forums, obviously, but I am in Waukesha.:thumbup

Haven't ridden much since moving here from Colorado, so I don't really know where to go either.

 

Anubis,

Unsure why the rest of the cheddar heads haven't replied. I know I have seen them zipping around the area but I think they are all afraid of "catching" some weird disease by simply posting back to a Marine. (My CSM always warned me about you wanton Marines and the "bugs" you caught in foreign lands but I, for one, would always fight next to a Marine).

I am here and if you want a noob to ride with, I will make the time.

south west wi.. is where its at. and thats where i am from if you wanna hook up on a spirited ride let me know. later mate!

 

GP Frankie,

I hear the better roads are that direction, looking forward to heading that way. If we can get Anubis to come down this way we can have an impromptu bike party

Yamahas are full of ALL kinds of goodness, I can PM you my cell number ...

yeah mate thats awsome!!

 

There are some cool twisty roads just outside of Madison. Just have to watch for slow moving tractors and all the crap they leave on the road. Always looking for people to ride with.

 

Most of us get our shots to kill the "bugs" :lol I'll let ya guys know for sure when I'm up in the area. :beer

 

the good roads dont even start till richland center, then a lil west of me, theres even a minuture scale of the gap called wildcat mountain. its kinda neat. we got roads mate. and they are good, real good

 

Any of you around the MKE area? Weather has been great but work keeps getting in the way.

 

I'm flying in on Tues.. I'll be around til Friday morning. (the 19th - 22nd) :beer If all goes well, I'll be moving back up the first week of July.

 

Wildcat Mountain is the place to be. I live about 20 miles from it, but there are some other great roads in the area as well. If any of you get together for a ride, let me know. I'm always down. If you do it on a Sunday, there's a bar in a small town called Rockton that has a great Chicken Q, and if you come into Ontario from Wildcat 131 is a great stretch about 5-10 miles to this place. Good place to stop for lunch, and the roads are all great in this area.

 

dood i love "P" that road rocks!! we are going riding sat. pm where you live if you want. later man

 

It's official. I'll be back in Milwaukee July 9th for good. :beer

Sweet!!:thumbup

Chicago is fun town to hangout!! :fact :rock I've been known to ride out for a weekend!! :thumbup

Let me know when you get settled mang! :fact

 

I haven't found a lot of good roads leading out of Green Bay or Appleton. Still searching out country roads in my local area. Never been down past Richland Center with a bike, but I've been through there a few times and there are some nice roads down there. I would also warn of stuff dropping off tractors.

 

Alright ladies, I'm in town for good, who wants to ride? :riding

 

2 bad ur about 4 hours away from Eau Claire...there are some intense roads going through the hills of buffalo county just south of here...but welcome back

 

Thanks man. As you probably saw, the first thing I did was tour the Miller Brewery again. :lol It's gonna take some while to get used to this humidity too. Bike feels like it's running a little different than it did down in AZ.

 

Anyone going to Germanfest next weekend? :dunno :beer :beer

 

Anyone up for ride around MKE Saturday before the rain hits?

 

Dammit... I'm heading up to Green Bay this weekend for a wedding otherwise I would. :beer

 

OK, a rain check then. Specially if it rains then a rain check is most appropriate.

By the way, been house hunting in Waukesha, New Berlin and Muskego, any intel you can throw my way? Have only lived here about 3 years. Would prefer a place out in the woods at a former gravel pit where I can fire off big guns but that ain't gonna happen so ... city / town dweller I'll be as long as I have my R1 and shooting ranges to go to.

 

I've also been house hunting. I've been looking around the Hartland/Pewaukee area, but that's about as far west as I want to go. I work in Menomonee Falls and I'd like to keep my drive time under a 1/2 hour. Also, anyone doing any riding this weekend? Or perhaps any partying? I've got nothing going on and it's been a while since I took the R Wheezy out for a good ride.

 

Getting ready to make an offer on a 2 bedroom in N. Waukesha, had a 2.5 garage (extra deep) with this extra add on room to the side. Enough space for working on my R1 and R6 (when I finally find a 600 cc for the track). Freaking garage sold me on the house. Enough room in the driveway for an enclosed bike / sled trailer too. Even had an awful huge black bar with white / black shag attached to it in the basement. LMAO. Wish me luck, offer goes in tomorrow.

Rode to Cudahy today to watch some friends show their Dog. Freaking hot out today but still wore the gear, losing a little water weight isn't a problem for me but it was a little uncomfortable at the stop lights.

Free Sunday after about 10:00 AM if you are available.

I should be down, weather permitting. :riding And good luck BTW. :thumbup

 

PM w/ cell phone # inbound.

 

Nice ride today Don. We couldn't have picked a better day. :thumbup

 

Ah yes, the photo in Podunk Wisconsin. It was good, I have to figure out where that nice little road is with the blind twisties so I can return and ride it again.

Pretty soon I need to head west, ride the border along the Old Miss. River.

Thanks, great meeting you and let's do that again soon. :rock

 

Corey,

Just got my Yamaha OEM comfort seat, next trip to Rhinelander (4 hours) I'll let you know how it works out to ease the iron azz problem.

 

Sounds good Don, looking forward to the review. :thumbup Anything going on this weekend? I put new bolts w/ locktite on my rearsets so I should be good to go. :lol

 

As you guys can see, i don't have too many posts on here but i have been checking the r1-forum since about this past christmas about 5+ times a day, you know how that goes. Anyway, I go to school in Madison and I would love to hit up some rides with you guys. I have friends going to school in Milwaukee and visit there every once and a while, so we should definetly ride sometime

 

Post here before your next trip over to Brew Town, we'll meet up somewhere although I hear you have better roads near Mad-city. :rock

We should plan a weekend trip over by the Minn border, some of those roads should be good (although probably full of the poh-leese).

Corey, good to hear you no longer have a screw loose. I thought you had toasted the engine or something but you did raise the front wheel a bit on that take off. Looking for after-market rear sets myself but want to do more research.

Seat isn't as great as I thought, it is softer but it still pushes the package towards the tank, might still have to do a bit of the seat mod. It's also still a little slippery but that's probably because it's new.

Do you know how to set up the suspension? After I close on this new house and have a garage I could use the help as I know it's not set up for someone of my size / riding capability.

I get off work at 3:30 Mon-Thurs and I'm off at noon on Fridays. My weekends are usually open unless I head up north (Green Bay/Sturgeon Bay area) to visit family. I'm always down to waste some gas. :riding

 

I found a local Wisconsin Sportbike site if you guys were interested. Seems like they have a pretty good crowd over there.

Done, I am Para over there. Thanks for the find Anubis, don't know why the hell I didn't come across them about 6 months ago when I was searching for "Sport bike riders, Wisconsin" but maybe Google was on a coffee break that day.

Thanks.

 

well todays the big laguna seca ride here...125 miles of wet roads about 80 bikes(hopefully) and a huge party afterwards...i cand wait...CHIPPEWA VALLEY SPORTBIKE CLUB:rock:
