Anyone headed to Laconia/Weirs Beach bike week in June ?

[WARputer]

Last year was cool ....a shit load of cruisers but a pretty good turn out of sport bikes too. Anyone going this year ?

A few pics of last year, on the main drag....

[z06boy]

The wife and I are...we were invited by some friends that live in NH. He and his wife own 7 or 8 bikes. We visited them last May...beautiful area.

One of his bikes is a Turbobusa putting down 265 rwhp that he wants me to try out. I rode it last time I was there when it was "only" putting down 230 rwhp. :panic:

He's also got a Ducati 999R that is fun to ride.

The rest are cruisers...nice bikes though.

:wtf: :bw:

Well I've never seen that Honda but the Victory...Duc...Busa...and Goldwing in the background...YEP there his. He may have picked up the Honda since I was there or that could be from before..with him there's no telling.

He's your counselor ? :rofl::rofl: j/k

:lmao::lmao: No...not my counselor .....he's a member on our Busa site....when you mentioned a guy in N.H. with a busa, a duc and some cruisers, I knew it had to be him. Never talked to him face to face but he seems like a hell of a guy !

Oh...just saw this. Rick is his name...he is pretty cool. His wife and my wife work together and that's how we met.

I didn't ride for a few years due to a nasty accident and it's his fault that I started riding again. :lol:

If you see him online...I'm Randy with the Z06...he'll know who you're talking about. :dthumb:

"z06boy" won't ring a bell with him.

[WARputer]

Cool ....I'll tell him we met .....in an internet kinda way ! :dthumb:

Ive been tossing the idea around... how are the Harley riders their though. You know how the elitist Harley riders are and how they love to shit on are faster, more reliable motorized bicycles.

[WARputer]

Everbody seems to pretty much keep to themselves ......trust me, I hate crowds of people ....but it went well. I was surprised with all the conflicting gangs riding around....all was peacefull.

so none of the Harley riders messed with your bike at all (ex: knocked it over, spit on it, set it on fire, or etc).

Oopps....I left the Busa at home last year....rode the Heritage Softail ....but seriously .....there were sportbikes there too ....nobody messed with them.

I've never been to Laconia so this will be a first for me. I've been to Daytona and Myrtle Beach many times on sportbikes and never had an issue.

For Laconia I'll be riding whatever Rick tosses me the keys too...he's pretty generous that way.

That's how he got me riding again...we went to visit last May and I knew he had bikes but wasn't really sure what to expect since I was meeting him for the first time. He knew I had owned several bikes and had several years of riding experience and wasn't a noob...just hadn't ridden in a few years.

My accident was due to a guy in a car slamming into me "that didn't see me" while I was going the speedlimit on a perfectly clear day. He shot out from behind a truck while in a lane of traffic coming toward me to make a last minute turn. :panic: Ok back to the story...

Ricks first comment after the initial handshake and "how ya doing...nice to meet ya" was "You want to go for a ride ? Which do you prefer, a cruiser or sportbike ? " I said "either but I lean toward sportbikes." He said "Ducati 999R or Turbo Hayabusa?" Well I haven't ridden either but both made me :dribble::drool: and I thought :idk:...well the Duc will probably be easier since it's smaller and handles better and we were in the mountains so we took off on them...what a freakin' blast and it didn't take long before I got the fever again.:rockwoot:

After taking a break we switched bikes and after riding the Busa for awhile it was easier to ride than I had expected so I took a couple of quick 130 mph blast...it wasn't even beginning to breath hard yet so I slowed back down like I had some sense. I'm a speed junkie and knew I better get off of that thing. :rofl: The blast on the Busa were on straightaways...4 lanes and no cars anywhere. One great thing about NH and Vermont is the traffic is NOTHING like where I live in NC which was a good thing.

The wife has been wanting a bike and due to my accident we had put off her getting a bike.

Well we got back home to NC talked...thought about it...talked some more and then I started making phone calls and taking her to dealerships to check out bikes and bought the R1 and R6 and it has been a blast. She had already taken the MSF course a few years back but took it again...passed...got her motorcycle license and the rest is history. :rockout:

Well if anyone is going too go to Laconia drop me a note and I will give you a contact number. I am part of the Rescue Riders Data Base. I have a pick up , a trailer , a garage with some tools a lift table and a press. I usualy will go out a max of a hundred miles to pull you in so you arent left at the mercy of a Stealership.
Laconia apart from being a mob scene is pretty accepting of everyone on two or three wheels. I would caution that it is an Act a fool be treated like a fool enviroment. Make nasty Comments about the Cruiser Crowd expect to hear some Comments back and since various motorcycle "clubs" have a VERY LARGE prescence there think about patches and colors and such.
In the last 10 years the police have come down hard on public nudity so flashing is a bit more rare than it used to be. (not gone thank god love those natural resources) The majority of the run ins with the law are the results of iresponsible use of Alcohol or recreational chemistry.
You will find that New Hampshire is a mind your own business kind of state and there is a lot of fun to be had here.
