Almost every Sunday we ride out of Stamford and head up into the NY area and head up route 301 towards Bear MT. Then on the way back we make our way to Marcus Dairy in Danbury CT. If anyone interested let me know I'll give you the time were meeting (most of the time 6:00am).

Sounds like fun But in what State is that????? I'm In CT

I'm such an ass. I was watchin something in the background and reading at the same time and Man did you get me with that......lol

How's it going? I'm new to the club and just have a question for anyone out there with a 06 R1 (04-06). I just got a new 06 and with 250miles and a trackday so far. My question is What the hell was yamaha thinking not putting on a heat sheld. My ass is so Hot. I wish I had done some more reading up on the bike before the purchase If I knew this first I may have gone another way. I owned before this a new 03 R1 and on the day I hit 17,000 miles on it I laid it down. Insurance did what insurance does and took the bike. Anyways back to the new bike so far I'm happy with the bike with the handling but not so much with the throtlle response or the lack of power in the low rpm. The old bike was so smooth, I could hold the throttle in one spot all day and not increase speed unexpectedly with this one its on then off on then off in a corner the choppy ness is enoff where it upsets the bike. So much for the roll on wheeles in 1st gear old bike 4000rpm new bike somewhere over 7500rpm I think. We'll if anyone know of a company that makes a heat sheild let me know. Thanks sorry about the spelling I suck at spelling...lol
