Hey there folks,
Well, I'm not one for being able to quote the roads and such, I usually just follow the leader!! George(GloweVA) was nice and courageous enough to host our first local mini-rally this weekend. Regrettably, only a few of us were able to make it.
It was a bit of an exploration ride as well, kinda like Star Trek.
So...we ran around the Pungo area, down to the Currituck Ferry and back with a few jaunts down some side roads and such. A decent collection of mostly sweepers with a few sprinkles of actual switchback/twisties that we could lean and throttle through. As I mentioned in the member's lounge invitation thread, we came across some Harley's just out for a Saturday Cruise....so when the chance happened a made a break for it, flew by them and George and Charles and was able to experience a few miles of the end of the road before we arrived at the Ferry.
Below is evidence that I was able to attain speeds in excess of bug 1.0 in the ~45mph limit forbidden zone. Okay, now for the photos!
I tried taking a video clip, but it's was too difficult to try to hold the camera AND the throttle/handlebar and negotiate the turns!
Hopefully we can put together a bigger run/ride for the July 4th weekend!?
T.C.

Virginia, the Flat Frontier: These are the voyages of the tidewater Xsives, our never-ending mission, to explore strange new roads, to seek out new riders and new twisties, to boldly lean how no Xsive has leaned before.
