I'm planning a long-ish group ride starting from NJ and venturing into PA.
About 120 miles of back roads which should take roughly 4 hours, not counting stops.

Here's a possible route: NJ-PA Ride - Google Maps

Can do this on June 4th or 11th.

Gonna make a food stop at a really cool market and few stops at some scenic locations.

Who's in? What date works better for you?

Hey, cool!! I am in but can only do June 4th. June 11th is my daughter's recital.

I think Hoshiko (sp?) and SD Willie would be interested too. I will reach out to them

Erci,
That sounds amazing, I can do it any of both weekends but. I sold MY FZ6 :ban::ban: and the new owner is picking it up on Thursday so, for the moment my only transportation is my beloved 2007 Trek Calypso, It has more gears then the FZ6 but only one dude power. :eek:

Have fun, I'm on the market for a new bike, don't forget about me, we'll ride together soon. :rockon:

BTW, I'm trying to test ride the Yamaha Super Tenere since that is one of the ones I'm considering but no one seems to have it in the area.
Do you know of a dealership who caries a demo one?

Other bikes to consider and test ride include 2011 Triumph Speed Triple, 2011 Ducati Diavel and Multistrada, 2011 BMW R1200R, F800ST and R1200GS, 2011 Honda NT700V, I'm giving Harley one chance and I'm trying their 2011 V-rod Muscle, I like the white one.

Can't wait, but I already miss my beloved FZ6

Whoa.. that's quite a list with some very different animals in the mix!! Did I miss a bunch of posts?! How come you sold the FZ?? (nothing wrong with that.. just curious).
Don't know any dealership that'll let you demo ANY bike, so can't help with Tenere.

Let's figure out start time now. Motojoe is 150 miles away, so let's not start too early.

How about 11:30?

That'll work for me, if I leave by 8am I should be there on time.

If there is anyone that wants to meet me on the way up, you are more than welcome to join me. Shoot me a PM.

For the same reason why I don't buy a great car without abs, seatbelt and airbags. I love the FZ6. One of the most beautiful motorcycles out there, comfortable, great engine, powerful (more then enough for me at least) but the fact that you can't get the safety futures, even if willing to pay for made me sell it. If yamaha makes something like the FZ6 or even smaller with all the technology of a BMW, I'll buy tomorrow.

A few of us will be coming from long island so its a trek to get there so of course we'd rather start earlier than 11 when we get to you but id say we will go with the majority.
