Poker Run

[oldyam80sg]

OK so I'm going on my 1st Poker run in many years. The guys and girls mostly ride Harleys. Any tips in riding in a big group? I know my XS 1100 SG is a lot faster than most Harleys as a few of my friends ride Harleys and they are blown away by the XS's performance.

staggered, not side by side. 2(3) sec. rule for stopping distances. Eyes watching everything around you not knowing the skill-sets of others. Be safe, enjoy!

Thanks -have known this woman for 4 years but never met her-she is in charge of this event. Should be fun though as it will benefit a local Fire Dept in need of gear.

The woman never got back to me so I guess I'm not invited. That's OK as I have a biker blessing the following week and all bikes are welcome says sign.

Go and take in the experience. Meet some new folks and maybe run into some old friends.

Going to the biker blessing and not the other run this weekend. You know its funny people still have this-You don't ride a Harley, you ride a Jap bike crap prejudice. Fine show up on your Harley and then people wonder why they are labeled the 1 %.

Ride what you like. How many 30+ year old 1% bikes are being ridden today?

I saw a wrecker pull up to a stranded 1% rider out on the expressway just yesterday?

Yes I saw one last weekend with problems -leaking oil big time.

Nice Biker Phil ! Perhaps it is a jealousy thing-I don't see many old Harleys on the road today. The last biker blessing I went to the oldest Harley was a 2000 model.

I really wouldn't concern myself with a small click of HD riders. They don't represent the majority. Old news most started out on Jap b ikes . Most adults don't care. There's lots of other bikes and riders who come to have fun and ride. Scrrew. rest.

Hi oldyam,
"never ascribe to malice anything that can be explained by stupidity"
Perhaps the lady simply forgot to call back?

[oldyam80sg]

I would like to think that Fred but no. As soon as I told her I ride a Yamaha she said she would get back to me but didn't.

Well now, let's see.
If you or a cohort were to call and ask directions, and she askes what you/he drives, you answer with the last few letters of the alphabet, and when you show up on the XS, and anybody gives you grief, you say " she asked what I ride, and I ride a XYZHD, but I also ride an XS11".
What are they going to do? Call the cops?

Where the run was to take place is a bad area and I don't want to have defend myself against a bunch of Harley guys who want to be idiots.
