After buying my Ducati 999 off of SL Exchange I've been looking for places to ride, then I relized there was a road near my home so I rez'd my bike on the roadside, hopped on, and rode. It wasn't until then that I relized between using the telehub system and hyperteleporter I missed alot of areas. Sure I could have flown, but using those systems make it more convientant. Now the more mundane form of travel via land vehicle seems more appealing to me. So this idea started rolling in my head, why not have a Biker Tour around SL like they do IRL? I think it'll be fun and interesting (and maybe help the Lindens find a way around the Sim border/vehicle issues with all the bug reports I know will come of this ;p ). So how many of you guys would be interested in an event like this?

Ron, this sounds fun... maybe Artemis Fate would be interested, she's blogging about something related in her Motorcycle Diaries.

I've talked with a few people in the game and I'm glad people are showing interest in it. Any help planning a route with possible rest stops/tourist spots will be well appritiated. I'm most likely gonna schedual this to fall on a Sunday for maximum availability for myself and others to be able to attend. This'll be land bikes only and would be a great opportunity for those builders wanting to show off custom rides or new bikes.

Blahh, SLexchange isn't working right for me. I keep getting "SLX Terminal v1.1.2 et: Validation failed. Your avatar is already validated with the SL Exchange account "Testerbug2 Tester"." But whatever, if there's ever a bike event, and I'm able to purchase one, I'm definately in.
