I dug up the link where the noobs crashed on the "noob friendly" ride I posted earlier in this thread. It might be worth looking at as it has a bunch of useful information for riding in a group as a noob. Have fun and ride safe...

+1. I was sweeping a noob friendly ride last year and had to pick the bike off the kid who tried to keep up. The leader was on a SS and nearly killed the second noob about an hour later. Ride safe.

As a kid my dad smoked Black Cat #7...in the house, in the car, anywhere and anytime. Forget second hand smoke etc - those were different times in the 60's, I even had to pick up cartons for dad from the variety store (I was only 9). It sucked when he smoked with the car windows rolled up in...

Thursday night between 5 and sundown is the time for HAUGENS. Bike night with 200-300 bikes. (mostly cruisers). Plans this weekend though.

It's not just the new riders that get the rush/caught.....

[/URL][/IMG] sorry to hear you got a flat....It was a fun ride and it was my pleasure leading the way up.[/URL][/IMG][/URL][/IMG]

Great ride, nice meeting everyone... And yes the burgers were cooked to perfection!

Got a brand spank'n new back tire installed today.... I'm in (two upping). For sure bringing some ice water........:D My wife and I will be heading back after lunch...although Southwood Road is awesome, I'd much rather beat cottage traffic home.

Hopefully things have changed in 30 years. I may be interested in joining. Here is a suggestion for a slightly more scenic route...http://goo.gl/maps/gjavk

The best left turn for me is into my driveway after a long ride... a cold beer then chill in the pool. Otherwise there are no good left turns on the streets for me. They are all full of hidden danger...

Don't know much about sport bikes, but welcome to the site.

She hates these....

Did a similar ride two weeks ago...Pretty well any road in that area is scenic and full of twists. You might want to book a room in advance as the area is full of bikes and tourists.

"Lemme splain".... when I join a group ride of cruisers and/or sport bikes, we mostly ride in staggered formation. Riding side by side is frowned upon because of the chance of a spill. (although it is kinda cool when heading in or out of Port Dover on Friday the 13th - of course that is at a...

Congratulations on your first ride. Heck, I still mess up some shifts even today....Don't confuse normal vibration with a speed wobble.

The name "Beast" comes from the growl of the pipes, and she bit my ankle last fall crushing my shifting foot under the passenger floor board. Ouch! See "the accident" - post # 325...

Re: Scarborough -> Lake Louise -> Chicago -> Scarborough + Pics, Experiences etc.. Nice trip, brings back memories.... Big square thing - Sears Tower?

Close calls, although unnerving, are lessons we can all learn from. Glad you are ok.

Congratulations on your milestone... just some friendly advice = get comfortable shifting and become familiar with your bike's handling as "road ready" may take a little time and practice after the safety course. Ride safe and enjoy.
