So, Iv found myself a sunday ride crew thanks to Tampasportbikes.com
They call it the "Aimless ride"
They are mostly older chaps who know there stuff.

the meet spot is like 45 miles away from my house...i got lost on the way there and i saw a guy on a 600rr go by so i just just followed him and got lucky .

They start at Mcdonalds and go threw town to some nice ride spots with high speed curves.
then get on the interstate and do "cloverleafs"...its where you constantly get on and off the on and off-ramps just going in a big cloverleaf form...it gets dizzy...and i can say, my chicken strips are almost gone from it...
then we go to the "unknown" or "playground"
its a awesome place that for some reason is abandoned and NO ONE is ever back there...its as if they were planning to build a neighborhood there, then got the streets done, then gave up...theyve been riding the spot for a year or so now..
there was dirt on the roads so they sweeped it all and cleaned it up and now its like our very own personal track thats FREE!!.
and it has a round-a-bout!!
its got a center main street that runs straight that has parralel parking on the side and its kinda like the pit-stop.
After riding the "unknown" or"playground" we all head to the wing house to get some nachos and talk about the ride.

got the Winghouse girls to get on the bikes for pics as well C:

ill have to get the pics some other time when im on my friends laptop.

as for vids, one of the riders has taken many vids in the past.
he is called "1000ccrider" on youtube and tampasportbikes forums
here is one video of one of the many runs you can do on the "unknown"

watch his other vids for more.

cool clip... looks like the FZR was doing pretty well against those newer bikes

I feel sorry for you guys in overly populated areas... Riding in undeveloped subdivisions for fun...

Well, at least it's paved and relatively safe. I didn't see the guy, in the video, go over 7k on his tach... he must have some low-end torque.

When you take a road trip to St. Louis some time, I'll take you out here:

.....OK WELL ...shred may be outta the loop, but the guys i rode with when i had my old bike knew the best roads around tampa.....not subdivisions ...

SHRED. Go to gunn hwy north, and turn left at fox's corner. All the way to a STOP sign, hang a right....sweet ass twisties back there for about 10 miles! Then you can hit 54 and its 4 lanes wide with light traffic for another 10 miles.
OR, take the beach route! Many awesome bridges where you can cruise and have amazing views of the ocean..Soon we will ride my friend, soon!

hah thats a strange location indeed. Did you wear your one piece when you went out there? heh

we do have nice riding spots here, but there just never very long...maybe lasting a mile.
i like to ride on Race Track Rd. and go onto paterson off of gunn hwy...
but the dudes took me to some high mph turns. we were in a pack and the guys were almost dragging there knees in 4th gear in the turns..
the problem is on these roads, is that there will be a car once and awhile if not a few. thats why we like the "unknown" because NO ONE is out there...theres better ways to take the "unknown" tan shown in the vid...ill get some video next time.
i was the 4-5 in the pack out of about 13 riders. Turbo busa was behind me till we got to the freeway and gunned it to top and he just blew by us like we were standing still...

i didnt where my one-piece..i wasnt sure what type of riding we were doing.
I wore my joe rocket mesh jacket/gloves/jeans/helmet and thats about it. I really need boots.

Very cool place to ride with no traffic.

actually, he had a leather joe rocket jacket/icon riding pants/riding boots/those gloves that cover your writes as well, and his helmet with headset in it.
they do all call him a squid though because i guess he sometimes wears shorts and just a T....

we had to drive threw a puddle to get to the spot and his bike stalled because his turbo sucked in the water .
