I think I saw him on my way back home on 2, or maybe it was not him. It was a 916 996 or a 998, was this the Duc you guys are speaking of, As I got a Big...
I agree about Deal's Gap and Tail of the Dragon - they're too popular these days, and too crowded. However, I can recommend a number of roads in the area...
Glad to here you made it back OK. I was behind you and your wave seemed more like a see'ya wave than an I need help wave when you left so I just kept going. As...
Tony's mythical magical Duc is a 996. And yes, "gasp" he was riding it Saturday. I had him in my rearview mirror all the way home from the ride. Hey Tony, are...
No way. Riding to the twisties is half the fun. Besides, I'm allergic to riding in cages. It feels like it takes forever to get anywhere and it just wears me...
... Yes that was me. I was searching for the group. You got my enthusiatic wave because of what you were riding. If I had known it was you I would have stopped...
... have two days to keep bagging him. :>P ... I know that Tony does have a computer. There must be another reason - like he's too "frugal" to pay for...
*cough* Um.sounds like your cage isn't fast enough, Brent. ;-) _____ From: MN-Sportbike@yahoogroups.com [mailto:MN-Sportbike@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
I need to get out again and Wed looks good. Could be windy though. I'm departing the one and only gas station in Carver at 1 pm. I'll be heading down the MN...
... hitting an Elk ... - FUEL INJECTION Motorcycle is best (I would say required, but if you trailer, you could set it up for high elevation before you go.)...
Yah I have seen that post before, Is there a lot of Italian bikes down there? I would love to come down and BS with fellow Duc owners, But I'am way to busy...
... In my limited experience (three bikes, one carbed, two injected; two different cars), nothing runs well at altitude. Fuel injection should be able to...
Brent, A 2005 GSXR 1000 compensates very well for high altitude, barely noticeable with poor running characteristics. The Superhawk on the same road has a 30%...
We would like to remind you of this upcoming event. First Thursday Gathering @ Dulono's Pizza in Minneapolis Date: Thursday, November 3, 2005 Time: 5:00PM -...

All of my bikes and cars have gotten better mileage at 8000' than at 1200'. Performance suffers, but fuel economy has been at record levels. Maybe your...
In the recent experience with rejetting my bike I was too rich for a while. My mileage dropped to the low 30's and when I went into the mountains in Montana,...
A couple data points for you. Neither my bike (2000 VFR) nor my wife's (1995 Magna) or those we ride with (various VFR's, 85 VT1100, 99 VT1100, VTR1000)...
A) That had nothing to do with following distance. That was about awareness of the road ahead. B) I doubt you'll ever find me in that type of pack. That is...
I would think that you self-corrected your throttle use to get your bike to run better at altitude, which resulted in the better mileage. Air density decreases...
So here's the question: Why do we get better mileage at altitude? There's less air so there's less gas being injected for each spark. (dispensing with carbs...
... You go down more hills in the mountains so you burn less gas ;-) Ski racks improve vehicle aerodynamics. Motorcycles are happier in the mountains. . . . . ...
Mark's got it. :>) I always get better mileage in hilly areas, altitude doesn't matter. The momentum from a prior downhill is with you partway up the next...
Sure it's enough. But I wouldn't ride with a group that large to begin with. Clearly some of these riders are not looking beyond 20' in front. The only smart...
The explanation I've seen is that this was some huge (like 2000 - 4000 bike) organized event that went sour. I don't believe this is just some weekend ...
