Met up with Copperone for Mount Lemmon ride

[CAT3]

After Danny posted bout his cage ride up Mount Lemmon we worked out a time to meet this morning and do it on the Busa's.

Mid-way stop going up Lemmon. Danny on the left, then Dan da Kid and my wingman Nick aka Jugger with his CBR1000RR. We met up with Dirk on the Gixxer 600 who can rail some fricken turns.

Tried getting some nice lean shots on the way down, but prep wasn't as good as I'd liked...oh well, will get more practice later.

Thanks MC, after getting the "this thread is ......" rant, I've learned (more like learning) my lesson. Danny took some shots too, imagine he'll post up when he gets home.
We froze our tails off getting to the meeting spot, but after that it was comfortable and clean ride.

You guys and your twisty roads are KILLIN me. Great shots though; thanks.

Hey Charlie I appreciate the invite. You really know how to put the Busa through the twisties. Great ride. Really glad I got to hook up with you, Dan and Nick. I had a great time. I guess I've finally decided that I reallylike the Pilots. They sure scuffed up nice today, even though it was kind of chilly. We'll have to do another ride, maybe up into New Mexico when the weather gets warm again. Most of my pics were about the same as yours. Heres a couple of the pics I took.

We had traffic and LEO's going up and down the hill. But it was still a great ride. When it gets warmer, we'll go up early and beat the LEO's and the traffic. Anyhow, great day of riding and great company.

Ranman....twisties = one more reason I moved out of MI, that and the economy.

Danny, great pics and excellent finally meeting someone from the .Org I had a blast today, even with a leaking fork seal...ugh. BTW, my wife was surprised to see someone older than me riding the Busa like they were made to be ridden....she knows I'll be riding mine like we were today for years to come (hopefully upgrading as the model progresses though).

Great meeting and riding up the mountain with ya, take it easy and I'll keep in touch for future rides.
