Fayetteville/Southeastern NC area riders??

[Ron_NC]

Just wondering if there are any riders in the area.

[johnbryer]

New bike Ron?  Still have the KLR?

[Ron_NC]

Hey John,

I broke down and bought a C14. It makes it a lot easier to do the kind of miles I want to do.
I sold the klr to Rico. Couldn't give it the proper attention. How are you liking the new area?

I'll be about an hour away, in SE Raleigh by NC State.

Utah is great.  I haven't seen enough yet.  Let me know if you're ever in the area.

Are there any organized local rides put together?

They are slowing down for the winter, but they are usually a Thursday meet and eat at 7 and something on the weekend.

Tragik on this forum organizes many of the weekend rides.  Details are usually at the forums on www.ncsportbikes.com

Thanks cultureslayer,

I like riding from September til June the most. Heck I just got back from a coffee run to Myrtle Beach, lol.

I agree, I just need to get me some hippo hands or heated grips or something.  My fingers get cold very easily.

[Ron_NC]

I put a set of heated elements from Dual Star on my KLR and they worked well.
I'll probably do the same for my concours.

Nice.  The outside of my hands gets cold, and that's why I was considering the muffs.

Hi Ron,
About 30-45 min North of you is a group of fellows that regularly hook up for Sunday rides. We meet early for breakfast then go to either,Chapel Hill, Uwharrie,or way East to Pender cty....Our link up point is at the GoldenCorral on Ramsey St...
time about 0730 to eat and depart about 0800, I am sure as the temps start to drop we will move our times to suit weather...some of our escapades can be found over at carolina riders forum on the Fayetteville page....We have a varied group of guys on ST1300, BMW, Harley, Buells all manor of two wheeled convayances....Come ride with the Ville...its a bit of effort but we usually have a good time....

opportunity I get, I'll be there!

We will have to take the C14s out for a spin and compare notes on them.

Just wondering if there are any riders in the area.

Fayetteville.  Just got back from a weekend ride with friends in the WVa mountains.  I usually ride year round, but as there are not many interesting/challenging roads around SE NC, I try to head west as often as I can.  

[CafeTBird]

Some of the roads in the Uwharrie Mountains are pretty darn good - and not far from you...

But they certainly don't compare to the WV.

[Ron_NC]

I try to head west also. I usually go to Telico or the BRMC.
I was just at BRMC in September.

[BuckeyeInNC]

I'm not in Fayetteville, but I am in New Bern.  Just moved here in July and am looking for groups to ride with on my new Concours 14.

[TRaGiK]

I'm semi close to you. I'm in Apex...just moved here from Sanford.

Join up on ncsportbikes.com. There's a few of us on there that do some LD riding, and a lot that don't. We do a lot of Meet and Eats...usually on Thursday and a few of us on Friday evenings.

I'm moving to Raleigh tomorrow so fair warning to all of those in the area with garages.  I might be trying to talk my way into your garage to change my oil.  

The good news is that I will buy you beer and I can't drink any of it so it's not the usual "I'll buy you a 6 pack" and then drink 4 while working on my bike deal.

hahaha. That's cool, except I don't like beer. Bring me a pint of Jose or a couple packs of smokes, and we'll be cool.

Camel Light Menthol's in case you're wondering.

It'd have to be the Jose, but you do run the risk of me cracking it open.

hey Ron, checking in from Garner. I hope to have me a yeller' 2000 Viffer soon!  I hope to riding again soon! I will look you up on the ncriders site too!

Hey Ron what's up? Buckeye I'm in New Bern also. I ride all the time to and from work and I try to get at least 100 miles every weekend. I do have one guy that I ride with but I do a lot of riding by myself. A couple of weeks ago I went up to salem, va and that was some great riding. Will be doing the gap next spring sometime. PM me sometime. until then take it easy ride safe and ride often.

Love to do that sometime.  Heading to Ohio next weekend to visit family, but will be around after that.

I know of about 4-5 of us Sport-Touring riders in the area that are looking for folks to ride with.

[Ron_NC]

Sounds good guys, we will have to set something up soon.
