I beg to differ.I have rode my G.Z. up to 400 KMS per day with no problems.In 31/2 years I have never had a flat on the road.(Knock on wood).I always check tires before startup.I never worry about flats on the road.Of course max speed limit here is 110 KMS. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: Illinios to Atlanta.....and beyond. Spring, 2010.
this is pretty decent for a GZ. i did not mean that GZ won't go, just that I don't do this. by the way i have done more than 270 miles in one go on a much smaller bike (100cc). will see may be one day i make up my mind for a long haul on side roads.

Re: Illinios to Atlanta.....and beyond. Spring, 2010.
I'm sad that I didn't get to ride your bike....I mean...meet you....
It's probably better you weren't down here for the rest of the weekend. It rained off an on the whole time. I rode over to Homosassa in my Jeep around 3pm saturday to see my mom and her boyfriend and by 5pm there was a storm coming in. I decided to leave and drive up to Cedar Key to see my friends and it rained off and on the rest of the evening. Sunday wasn't too bad until about 3pm, then it sprinkled the rest of the day but was sunny. Monday was just brutally brutally hot. Are you going to try and make it back down again this summer? [Edited because I hit enter too many times.]

edit:- One of the local garages was offering a deal on air con servicing, so on Tuesday I took the car in (never had the air con serviced in the 7 years I've had the car) WOW! what a difference! Now it's cooler in the car than in the house!

I did have visions of going to Home Depot and asking for the "biker girl" who knows everything there is to know about plumbing !!! :biggrin: Wait......you think I would let you RIDE my bike ??? :shocked: :crackup Yes, I'll be in the vacinity around Labor Day for the Cards/Braves series in Atlanta......but I'll be in a cage that time; don't think my daughter would like riding that far on the back of a bike. I might venture down your way then......since weather and butt cramps won't be so much of an issue. :roll:

Re: Illinios to Atlanta.....and beyond. Spring, 2010.
I thought I gave you my info waaaaaay back when you first said you were looking for houses here? Maybe I forgot..hm...look for a PM.
Honestly if you came into Home Depot and said that, they'd know exactly who it was, haha! I'm in kitchen design now though so I get to sit a desk and talk to rich people instead of those guys that don't want to spend the extra dollar to actually SOLVE their problem instead of just "rigging" it...anyway.. I was kidding about the bike (sort of, had my fingers crossed), I figured MAYBE you'd let me sit on it and take a picture for the board to see, hehehe. Then I could photoshop it to make it look like I was going 100 down the highway. =P It's still going to be insanely hot in September but at least you'll have a/c. There's a gator game that weekend though so coming here might yet again be a huge ordeal.
