OK, last thread on this. Who IS going to the spring Moto Giro??

The Ducati is almost together and I hope to start it tomorrow. Don't thing the Giro would be best for its maiden voyage. The Honda is ready to go. That old thing is so dependable (knock on wood) I could ride it the 2 hours down to Jersey, do the giro and ride it home.

Two weekends of motorcycling in a row! I love it! Heck, the lawn will wait...

Who's riding what on the Giro-East. I'll be on my Motobi 250, Fred on his H-D 250 Sprint.
I would think the Wankers will be well represented!!

jerseygirl,

Remember blowing past me on the 1st giro. You were on the Honda and I was on the Ducati 160. You opened the little honda right up!! I think you hold the record for riding a different bike every giro.

How much fun is this Giro stuff!!!

WOW!! Another giro in the books. Kudos to Bob Bove for hanging in there and gettin' er done. As always, tons of fun and a challenging route. OK, here we go... Fred and I were the rebels in the group!! We were on 250's and most others were on 200's and 125's and a couple of S90 Hondas.We were placed mid pack along with DCH. Dale is an animal as we had motor on him and could pull at will but every time I look in my mirror, there he was!!
Freakin' awesome Dale. You are the man. It was funny at the end of the first day Dale looked like he just did a 24 hour enduro!!

SOOOO. Sunday morning Fred and I set out to get to all the check points first. Going down a bumpy road my tank bag starts to fall off. We pull over and make the fix and Roper(we had an all out brawl on the way back sat afternnon with roper) goes by so Fred and I decide to catch up to him, he had like 5 mins on us. We pushed hard to catch up and sure enough.....58 in a 30 gets us a court date!!! Whats ironic is on the route sheet in bold it said" CAREFULL SPPED TRAP" !!!

Jack, Jen, Kerry you all carried team caferacer.net. It was really nice to throw back a few beers with you all and shoot the shit. Jack, bring the 160 to the track some time and I'll check it out, OK. TT get a freakin' bike for the fall you slacker!!

Team Motobi rules as this was our second team victory!! I came in 3rd in the 250 class, not so bad considering the miscues and competition.

Jen,
Most awesome photos. As I was looking at them I had a BIG smile. You go girl!!! and by the way... I have a Ducati 160 that has done 2 giros and I think Jack needs to let you run his again and I will let somebody(female) run mine-Kerry?. Great Time Huh??? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
