Planet Minis

reynolds_brad · 01-12-2009, 11:57 AM

So a few of us from the bay area went out yesterday for a killer ride. We thought we would take advantage of some amazing weather for January. There were 7 of us in total, Two CRB150s, two RS50, Greg's 146+R ZB, my on my APE and Jokerio on his KSR80.

You can check out my full ride report here. Honda50.com Blog Archive Ride report and Project APE update 1-11-09

I am jealous (On the weather, overhere it is -2 degrees C and salted roads)

EddieNewYork · 01-12-2009, 12:41 PM

Looks like you guys had a blast! The Ape is looking SWEET Brad! It looks big without a rider, but looks like a mini again here.

gstegman · 01-12-2009, 12:47 PM

Brad and Joe represented us mini riders well. Now that Brad is not making sparks in the turns (dragging stock rear sets) he was able to rail. Jokerio was a blast to ride with because in addition to being fast as hell, he would occasionally go offroad!

It was 70 miles of killer weather with a view of the bay!

monaghan · 01-12-2009, 01:17 PM

hahahaha, what?

makotosun · 01-12-2009, 01:36 PM

Hmmm - where do I sign up for one of the KSR80's?

Looks like a blast. Wet and cold up here in the Great NorthWet!

cdoublejj · 01-12-2009, 01:39 PM

i'v been riding in 20 to 50 degree F weather.

crowdlg · 01-12-2009, 01:55 PM

Looks like a great time I wish it was warmer here.

Greg, I'm interested in hearing more about your 146+R.

We got a guy like that too down here. We call him hooptytank.

theeechozen1 · 01-12-2009, 02:24 PM

We're looking at 70 right now in Vegas!!!!! Gonna fill up a bike in a few and go blow up some side streets! All the construction around my house makes for good dirt to pavement transitions ... LOL

reynolds_brad · 01-12-2009, 05:00 PM

ducatilover · 01-12-2009, 08:33 PM

I used to live in the Monterey Bay area and there are some great roads out there. The pics look great and the bikes look even better. I could never join you though cause my stock Z would get left in the dust.

zypher · 01-12-2009, 08:58 PM

gstegman · 01-12-2009, 09:25 PM

Funny you bring those up. Someone from the ride bought one this morning. Do you know if they shoot in HD? This video pre-youtube at 1080P looks much different.
