Because on your way home from buying a motorcycle , you won't be too late for dinner? -- Jim Stinnett VTR!000 R!!00RS YZF R1 http://moto-rama.com
it isn't as lumpy, that's for sure. But then I have only ridden it about 35 miles on 101, the Golden Gate Bridge and to the Haight. It does feel a lot like a four ought to, though, smooth, linear power delivery, not a lot of heavy engine braking. But I notice it might have a brutish personality lurking somewhere around 9000-12000 rpm. But if it handles the Panoramic, Hwy 36 and all those fun roads with as well as the VTR , then I'm sold. It'll take me at least 5000 miles to learn it, then another 25000 to really learn it, then I will really let you know what really think about it... -- Jim Stinnett VTR!000 R!!00RS YZF R! http://moto-rama.com
hehehe... Well, anytime you want to run the R1 side by side with a VTR for comparison (or better yet, switch back and forth between them hint hint), drop me a line. It'd be cool to do Hwy36 at some point before the rains set in for real.
Yes!!!! Perhaps a Norcal group ride, or something like that. Overnight in Red Bluff, then over the mountain to Fort Bragg then down the coast to wind it up. Mmm -- Jim Stinnett VTR1000 R1100RS YZF R1 Too much motorcycle information @ http://moto-rama.com
Woo hoo! That sounds like a plan. Next couple of weekends are kind of booked for me, but I should be able to *just squeeze in* a ride like that around mid-Oct, when the rains start for real (sometimes). Let's work something out.
Yep , that time slot works for me too. Zrooooooom -- Jim Stinnett VTR!000 R!!00RS YZF R1 http://moto-rama.com
Jim... Mmmm is right... the last time I tackle H36 was back in 90 on the Belt-0-Ceptor... I can't wait to tackle it again on Mr.RC45...

hwy 36 loop Hi Jim, Hi Holly I've been wanting to do a Mendocino>Hwy 36>I5>Hwy 96>Mendocino loop before the rains start, and sometime in October sounds great. Keep in touch and maybe I can cruise along with y'all. I could probaby keep up.... ;-) mendodave
I guess maybe I wil have to, now that I am invited... But I was thinking about heading north over the Panoramic, then up to Jenner and back, but I could be persuaded to head south... -- Jim Stinnett VTR!000 R!!00RS YZF R1 http://moto-rama.com
basically, except for a steering damper of unknown origin Asphalt and black...not my first choice,,,but the price was right. maybe on the VTR, as I am fairly literate on it at 54K miles of practice...
