Lexington here! When you all riding?

[RobertIII]

As Soon as I get my 1088 Stage III back from KBsportbike - should be here soon....

How about a meet in Owenton, KY (At Junction of US 127 and US 22). A good meeting place and there is the wondrous US 227 to ride from Owenton to Stamping ground. Will bring camera, would like some pics of a large group of noisy TL's.

it's a scream of a road, lots and lots of twisties, lots of motorcycles, and often some slightly irate people that have the misfortune to live on it

It'll be likely 2 weeks until my TLS is back together, also need to get a new steering damper (the stock one I lightened up is leaking slightly now, probably old seals), and some 6-pots for the front. And conduct a breakin prior to first track day 27 May....

How about planning mid May, it'll give everyone that wants to attend a big heads up, and also the distance from Owenton - Cincy looks about the same as to Louisville. Greensburg is a touch further, but you can shortcut across the Madison Bridge and have a rather fun time with that road on the way, provided no RV convoys are in the way.

If we do this be careful. Ky abounds with drivers that never learned how to complete a coloring book (keep in the lines) around those right-handers. They will also show you just how 'fast' they can drive by cutting blind lefthanders. Better off pulling over and letting the idiot kill itself!

Sounds good to me , Robert! Owenton isn't that bad at all. If you want to meet me in Lawrenceburg Foster, we can duo down there!

By the way, I heard that the Madison bridge may be closing. just a heads up.

Bummer - my GF lives in Indiana and when I visit, I go across the Madison Bridge. Adds a half hour to the ride but also adds fun roads and a Zen factor compared to the interstate...

[RobertIII]

We'll see - Louisville - Lawrenceburg - Owenton - Stamping Ground - Louisville is a long sportbike day. Good roads though.

I hope we have this many ^ at least.

I'm still here. Just haven't spent much time on the Zone lately. I will start to keep a better eye on this thread.
Other than doing the 500 at the end of May I am usually open on the weekends.

[GhostMAFIA]

I'll be there.
