Tonik Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) So this weekend IP is having Yamaha Demo days. Wife and I are going down Friday morning. That might change to Saturday depending on @whaler 's plan. Meet spot and time are still open to discussion based on who goes but being there before 10AM is the plan. May slab down, may meet in Wooster and take 62. Not sure yet. But certainly taking 62 back home so we can get BBQ on the way. Will be a bit later going back as I plan to ride two bikes, an FJR and probably the FZ 07. Anyone interested speak up and we will try and put a plan together. Oh, and FWIW I am probably going to be 2up. Edited July 18, 2016 by Tonik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Think I'll spend the day at a Cadaian casino. Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfman1 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I have been contemplating this and may tag along with Whaler, just wondering about the weather as it will most likely be the hottest weekend this summer, 98 degrees both Friday and Saturday.

NinjaDoc Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 yes hydrate like crazy and possible mesh jacket might back fire since the air that is hitting you is going to be hotter than what your feeling inside the jacket. ride early morning and return late evening , in between go watch a movie or something 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Well, you could always wait until the following weekend when it will be less hot. Of course there will be less (zero) demo bikes at IP that weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Have fun, I will be at the Gap. Demo rides always cost me money anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynesworld Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I may go Saturday, but I'm local (other side of C-bus) and still unsure. I would like to ride an FJR though. And an FZ-something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Friday, it hardly ever rains on my rides. We call it the dome of hate. Take our ride Saturday for example. @jschaf left the same time I did, from very close by. He got soaked. I didn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 If you a-holes are going Friday I might swing by too if I can get out of work. Test out an R1 for funzies. Tonik, go for the sweet sweet triple in the FZ-09. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I would kill myself on an 09. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FJ09...it has hard bags, trunk mount and most the comforts you have come to enjoy, just 300+ pound lighter, and that sweet triple 900 motor! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
