Welcome to the Org. I'm new here myself. I also live in Gautier and own SunCoast Riders on Gautier-Vancleave right behind the Mall. I ride every Sunday (weather permitting) come by the store sometime or hook up on Sunday morning for a ride. Again,
every sunday huh? Where do y'all ride? We like to hit the country roads on Sundays.. Benndale area... (it's the closest thing to twisty roads that we have)
We'd love to meet up with yall sometime.. look us up... Gulf Coast Sport Bikes (on Yahoo groups)
We hit the Benndale area every once in awhile. We usually travel up through
Vancleave into the back country and across toward the ward area. So far we've found some roads that'll throw your lunch on the back seat for you. Even I can't believe some of the curves we've had to make, and I'm from here. Anytime y'all want to hook up, let me know; we'll get something together.
cool glad to hear that... most of the riders here like to "cruise the beach" or "ride to Hattiesburg" (via 49)... very BORING.
You might be able to show us some more roads over in that area. We know most of the roads in the west side.
I know what you mean, I lived in College Park for 3 years. The backroads over there are like driveways compared to the ones over here. It's almost hard to believe you're in the same state. I took a group last Saturday (mix of cruisers and rockets) for an up-country run. Lost two in the curves (no injuries) and one just gave up and turned back. Another area really good for twisties, besides Jackson County, is over in Mobile County. I've rode a few over there that will test nerves pretty good. The backroads over to semmes has some great runs in it; a few of those "touch your own tail light" curves.
I love Drake like a brother... but stay away from Down South Burners.. especially as a new rider. They have a large percentage of young Squids in their group (Drake not included).
Hope to see you around sometime... We meet at Edgewater mall (by Wendy's) on most Thursday nights... or you might find us at the top of the Hard Rock Casino on Friday nights drinking Starbucks (HARDCORE!!!)
Keep it shiny side up.
