Tortilla Flats/Canyon Lake Sunday Morning

[Blue Devil]

Who wants to make a run to Tortilla Flats/Canyon Lake sunday morning? I am more then down for it. If we do it we would have to meet up at Apache and Rural at the Chevron and roll out at 7:30 sharp to get there before all the boats. Also dont worry about keeping up as everyone will cruise at their own pace, and everyone out front of the group will show down then they start to pul away. Who else would be in for an early ride? Any later then this and you will get stuck behind all the boats going to the lake...

I would be down for this but i have a piece of a tree stuck in my rear tire from my last offroading adventure, so maybe next time for me.

[Blue Devil]

might wanna get that fixed. Did it go all the way through the chords or just into the rubber? Anyways i need a new rear also, i have probably 500 safe miles left on it

[06Gixxer King]

I should be down it just depends on what goes down saturday night

[tgreene_dj]

I'll be there....

[Blue Devil]

Again we will meet at Chevron on Rural and Apache. Meet at 7:15 and roll out at 7:30 sharp. We will head down to the 60. Go east on the 60 to ironwood and proceed to Tortilla flats from there. You will want to fill up or top your bike off at Chevron if you plan to ride so we dont have to stop again. If you live closer to AJ then you can meet us at the gas station on Ironwood just north of the 60. Post up here is you plan on going and where you will meet up. A. Apache/rural or B. Ironwood gas station.

[tgreene_dj]

Since I have no idea where the Ironwood gas station is am going with plan A....

[jdamico03]

I'm in. meet you at chevron

[Blue Devil]

ill have a video camera mounted to my tank so if anyone wants me to follow then at all so they can see their own riding and body position let me know... im working on borrowing a helmet cam to put on the back of my bike too

[cereal1024]

I'll definatley bee there this time. I'll show up at the chevron also.

[Blue Devil]

i know Snow Devils are going down the salt river that day so i may go up there after Tortilla Flats... but i gotta cure my itch to ride real roads for now.

[06Gixxer King]

Snow Devils are going Saturday according to Jon

[Blue Devil]

[tgreene_dj]

better be ready for saturday night....

[Blue Devil]

[tgreene_dj]

Just a side note, not sure if anyone has been watching the weather at all.... Monsoon season maybe kicking into overdrive for a lil while.... Apperently storm cells are coming up from mexico and coming down from the northwest and things could get a lil hairy unlike myself.... So I strongly urge that we keep a close eye on the weather to come....

I apoint you Devil Riders Official Weatherman. i would like updates at 6am, 10am, noon, 6pm and 10pm thank you.


just kidding man thanks for the warning and we will be sure to see what we have to deal with. My clothes still aren't dry from getting caught on monday lol

[tgreene_dj]

Oh yea the 6 am forecast is out of the question, I'm not even up yet.... But I'll do you a favor, since it is AZ here's the forecast: It will be cooler than later in the day, traffic will suck as usual, and there will be a slight chance of rain.... Thanx for tuning into the 6 am forecast and I will see you 10 am.... Good morning and God speed.... This is Dan Rathers signing off....

[Skull-Rid3r]

yeah Jerry and i had ours right in the wind at Chili's and didn't even flinch at all

[cereal1024]

Thats crazy, it has to get really windy to pick a 350 pound bike up off it's kickstand. I'm sorry about your misfortune.

[Cleopatra]

wow. only 350lbs?! Mines closer to 500! That's why I've dropped it too many times.....

We better watch the forecast. It's thundering and lightning right now as I type this. It look pretty bad outside and I have no rain gear.

by the way...I woke up an hour and a half late amd the house was dark and too quiet. My parents left me w/o a word.:evil: They are flying to Orange County to sign the papers on their new vacation home! They didn't tell me it was today! :D

[Tack_R6]

Thats crazy, it has to get really windy to pick a 350 pound bike up off it's kickstand. I'm sorry about your misfortune.

Speaking of Kick Stands.... I had a moment on Mon. where i put the stand down and looked at the bike funny like WTF, this thing is leaning way too far over. Looked at the stand and the bolt had come out, but it was still there, just out of the thread. Yea i was impressed that it didnt fall over somehow. Any way just make sure and CHECK THE BOLT THAT HOLDS UR KICKSTAND ON EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE TOO MAKE SURE IT IS STILL TIGHT.!!!! That is all

[tgreene_dj]

you also have to remember that his bike is lowered and is sitting much more upright than most of ours....

[Blue Devil]

very true... hes gotta get that thing back up to stock height before he gets into the twisties. The change of the suspension setup can really mess with your riding and actually hurt your riding

[tgreene_dj]

Keith and I are gonna take care of that tomorrow or at the latest on saturday so he'll be ready for the twisties....

[Blue Devil]

very nice

[Cleopatra]

how long are we going to be there and what exactly are we going to do there? I've never been there, if you couldn't tell already.... I kinda know where it is, but not what's there.

[06Gixxer King]

depending on what my schedule is set on i might not be able to make it to this now. I start work at U-Haul tomorrow.

probably get back around 9am depending on hw long everyone stops at Tortilla flats little town thing... tortilla flats is about 4 miles north of AJ

[Cleopatra]

I'll be there! as long as it's not raining when I wake up... I have no rain gear of any kind.
I'm excited!

[Soochinator]

I'm down. I'll meet ya'll at the chevron at apache & rural as long as I'm not all hung over like last sunday ... and the sunday before that and before that ... :oops:

[Blue Devil]

if it rains the trip will be canceled. rain and twisties dont go well together

[GTBAF333]

I might be there.....Apache and Rural at 730 a.m. right ??? I'm on the west side so its gonna take me probably an hour just to get there......What corner is the Chevron on ? I'm not to familiar with the east side. If I show up I'll be an 04' R6, Silver w/black flames. You guys getting leathered out or just jackets ? Let me know thanks...or call GREG @ 623-670-3103 :twisted:

[Skull-Rid3r]

what happened to our weather man, i havent seen any post about the weather for a while. and im to lazy to look on tv

[tgreene_dj]

:idea:

[Blue Devil]

i have leathers but ill be wearing jacket/jeans probably. I need to get some knee sliders for my 1 piece...

[Soochinator]

jacket & jeans for me. Of course I don't have any leathers so I don't have much of an option.

[Blue Devil]

I may wear my one piece as my sun burns are killing me (entire upper body and shins are burned...bad). My jacket is loose and tends to move around a bit which isnt going to be comfortable. We will see how i feel in the morning

[Soochinator]

Well I ended up sleeping in today, so I missed the ride. How was it? Any good pictures?

[Blue Devil]

the ride was awsome. We had 6 people out. Im so tired... ill post more when i wake up again.

[Skull-Rid3r]

im so pissed i didn't go, i guess thats what happens when your neighbor throws a big ass party. plus im not a morning person. well i hope we go up again sometime.

[Blue Devil]

when we do it will be in the morning again. We didnt have any issues with cops at all until we started to leave. They they are started to show up out of no where. Better become a morning person :wink:

ill try

[Cleopatra]

The ride was awesome! Sorry you guys had to wait for me to catch up. The S. Mt ride was my first curves (car and bike!). So, I had to take those a bit slow, but thanks for waiting for me! I had lots of fun.

I had some issues at the the gas station...Arco sucks! They charged me $.45 to use my debit card and they don't take credit! Then the stupid nozzle leaked gas all over my tank and they had no paper towels. sigh.

[Blue Devil]

sorry to hear that. Good to hear you had fun. It would be nice to get a group of crusiers and sport bikes to go out next time so we could split up for the riding and get together for breakfast/lunch and the ride there and back

[Skull-Rid3r]

that was the best ride ever. i met 4 other bikers, we went at 4 and there was just a few boats in the way. i suggest this to any new riders because you get about 10 times better at turns. the only thing bad was my hand went numb during the ride but a good shake kept me going. Can't wait to actually go with the group now.

[Blue Devil]

glad to hear you went but the cops are still out at that time

[Skull-Rid3r]

glad to hear you went but the cops are still out at that time

didnt see one cop on my ride. i was surprized. did u guys see any at all??

[Blue Devil]

as we were leaving yes. They drive white explorers, green pickups, and white silverados. Have your buddies get on the boards so we can do one big ass group thing

[Skull-Rid3r]

i just met them on the road, there all over 25, but drive sweet bikes. i have one of there numbers so ill give him a call and tell him about it. one has a 05 ducati 999s and sounds beautiful!!!

[cereal1024]

Damm, I missed another ride. This time it was all my fault though, Out all night at the bars down on mill ave. Next time i'll be there for sure though...... :lol:

[Blue Devil]

yea if i went to the bars i would have missed it, or been really tired when riding, but i had pretty bad sun poisoning so i went to sleep at like midnight. Its not that bad to wake up early as when you get home you just fall asleep. Everyone came to my place after and at some point each one of us fell asleep on the couches while watching the DTK motogp movie
