Outrider, I will have him check that out as well. I am waiting to hear from him since he hadn't told his wife he bought another bike yet!  | ||
| Steve_mackay |
he hadn't told his wife he bought another bike yet!  He could plead early onset of Alzheimers. "Are you SURE I didn't tell you about buying the 'lil 'ole Beemer? I could have sworn we discussed it in detail".  See, I don't have to worry about things like that. Toni wants to buy as many, if not MORE bikes than I do! I go in to our ebay watch list, and many times there are M2s, S3s, and XB9SLs in there, courtesy of Toni  We're still keeping our eye open for an M2L, or even another S3/S3T that we could lower ourselves. At some point, Toni will outgrow the Blast. As it is now, we've equipped the blast pretty well for longer distance riding. She's got the windshield, saddlebags and tank bag. | ||

That defense might have worked but it is too late. Oh well. Things will smooth out if they are bumpy. I think one ride on the K-tank with its heated seats and 6 disc cd changer will make this all good!  I have thought about lowering my bike. It would be nice to have both feet flat on the ground at stop lights! There are more important things to do to the bike first. | ||
| Steve_mackay |
Yeah, like add some frame sliders... Where is that leaker who promised to make those frame sliders for you, and everyone else... Oh wait... THAT'S ME eventually, I'll have some machine time to do those. but for now, all the machines are running full tilt on jobs. How dare those owners get their priorities screwed up, and not give me my ever important "government work" time | ||

Hi CJ how ya doin? I saw ya postin earlier, bout ready to ride? Got to get with Fiery and let her tell ya about Bikeweek, I know I enjoyed your stories of Lil Sturgis last year. Later.... | ||
| CJXB |
Hey Coolice, I'm good just got a friggin cold myself, haven't been on line much !! I did have a good conversation with Fiery, she told all about the trip !! Sounds like you guys had a blast !! CJ | ||
| Kinger |
I hope everyone got out and rode today!!! What a nice day. CJ, Sorry to hear about your tire. I bet Steve is right. House hunting went pretty good last Saturday. It looks like we will be moving to Janesville. That will leave me with about a 30-40 minute commute to work. A perfect distance for stretching the legs of the S3 on a daily basis!  We are going down to look at the model home again tomorrow, and probably sign some paperwork. Depending on timing, I may not be able to make the Slimey Crud Run. I am also not going to be able to make the track day on the 21st. I will know in about a week if I can make the one at Blackhawk on the 25th. | ||

Good to hear how things are going Kinger !! Hopefully I'll get the tire taken care of this weekend, guess it's good it's always gone flat in the garage and not out on the road !! CJ | ||

Just a note to let you know that the subject of one day passes during the week days for local Bueller's at the BRAG Homecoming is being addressed in the Homecoming Thread in the Stormfronts section. Is a simple issue and your opinion counts. So don't hesitate posting regardless of your opinion on the issue. Thanks for your time and consideration. | ||

Steve, where did you hear about the tire sale? Are you heading down to Hal's tomorrow to drop your bike off? | ||
| Steve_mackay |
The had a flyer my brother brought home a few days ago. I think they were sent in the mail too. Yeah, I'm gonna go burn the tire off around noon-1PM tommorw | ||
| Kinger |
I will have to see what we are doing tomorrow. Maybe I will make it out there and do the same!  | ||
| Steve_mackay |
Gimme a call tomorow on my cell if you're gonna make it. You still have my #? Lets show 'dem der' Harley guys how burnouts should be done | ||
| Kinger |
I got your number, I will give you a call tomorrow. Looks like I need to get out to the garage later and fire up the bike!!! | ||
| Kinger |
For those that didn't hear, Hal's is running a tire sale for the month of April. Part of the sale is that you get 1/2 off your rear tire if you burn off the old one. Steve stopped down today and took advantage......  I also have a short video of it, but I can't upload it. | ||
| Steve_mackay |
Aaron, sorry didn't get to the server upgrades tonight. I got a call about 4:30 that my work got broken in to, and vandalized pretty good. | ||
| Kinger |
That sucks. Did they steal stuff or just destroy stuff? | ||

That last one would be a good calender or Christmas card photo.  | ||
| Outrider |
No kidding! That last pic is a mental pic of what Heaven for Bikers would be like. | ||

Mackay, have you called the new guy yet (email from Caralee) ?? Let him know about the Sunday ride and all ?? I was going to but busy packing for Vegas, I soooo need a vacation !!! CJ | ||
| Steve_mackay |
I haven't yet... Didn't get home till 5:30 this morning from work. I'll try to this evening. | ||
| Kinger |
New guy???  | ||
| Mikej |
Ride? Dundee, or elsewhere? | ||
| Kinger |
I am hoping to go on Sunday!!! According to Mapquest, it is approx. 55 miles from Hal's to Dundee. I will look at an alternate route that wouldn't be freeway the whole time. Who wants to go? Meet at Hal's at say 10 a.m. Kickstands up at 10:30? That gives us a little over 2 hours to make the trip up to Dundee via back roads.  | ||
| Kinger |
CJ, Vegas......I want to go  ...I wouldn't tell anybody anything!! I am bumming that I couldn't go with some friends last month. My friend Jeremy went home with $700 more than he left with.....after food and drinks! | ||
| Kinger |
Just signed up for the track day May 25th!! Now to get new tires, fluids, and the day off of work! |
