    We have people in Y-Town, Deerfield, Erie. Some don't stop by much, some are working on other bikes and some might be too far, and a few more i'm not too familiar with.
    But surely we can get one other brave soul that's not ashamed to be seen with us :)
    A XJ isn't required

    I PM'd a couple of members around this area too, I don't think the events section of the forum is frequently visited.

    Erie reporting in. I'll check with my son-in-law and see if he's up to riding that far. I may come down by myself. See how I handle a long trip on that Royal Star.

    speed, between a walk and a jog, jayrodoh first, lane center, baldwonder second,right of center, polock third 25 feet back,lane center, slowing down i see jayrodoh's brake light and right signal, baldwonder, glancing in his mirror did not.
    jayrodoh starts the right turn then baldwonder sees brake lights, turn signals and a bike half way through a turn 5 to 10 feet in front of him, i thought he was going to miss him, then he's going to hit him, then he did.
    baldwonders front tire contacts jayrodohs rear brake arm, fender and licence plate, pushing his wheel to the right. baldwonder puts his right foot down, the bike lowsides and baldwonder highsides.
    baldwonder won't be doing any jogging for awhile

    While it was definitely unfortunate that baldwonder took a spill, was still a nice day and good to meet another member. We were all able to ride home at the end of the day so that's a big plus too. Bears metal works was pretty cool to visit as well. We'll have to meet up again.
