What time tomorrow, where, etc.?   Sanchez Posted on Saturday, August 25, 2007 - 03:06 pm:        Long, long ago at a dealership far, far away, Buellish let me feel up his clutch. He'd installed an MRC clutch effort reduction kit, and it felt damn good. I bought one then and finally got around to installing it today. Here are some pics and impressions: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/301958.html Executive summary: It's easy to install, it feels great, and everybody should go buy one immediately.   Kdan Posted on Saturday, August 25, 2007 - 03:30 pm:        Cool. How much?   Shred Posted on Saturday, August 25, 2007 - 03:33 pm:        Xwraithx, I've already given all my XB9R stuff away. Sorry... Xbullet, I've slowed down but still like to have fun. I'm slower on the streets and in the "Hills" since I've started doing track days and racing and I'm sure theirs other factors as well. WIFE,KIDS,WORK,FAT,GETTING OLD,GIMP-LEGGED,ETC....LOL!!! I'd have to say the 3%er group has a lot of good riders and fast too....more than other groups I've rode with. If their were ever a "Mountain TT" in the hills of N-GA and we could have local clubs race against each other. I thing we the "3%er's" would do good...   Sanchez Posted on Saturday, August 25, 2007 - 04:18 pm:        > What time tomorrow, where, etc.? 9:00 AM at your place. Roll call: Sanchez KDan Chi_stud(?) Shred(?) > Cool. How much? I found it for $110 at Earl Smalls. SMHD couldn't get them.   Glitch Posted on Saturday, August 25, 2007 - 05:42 pm:        Kdan said it may have been Glitch. Wasn't me. I'd like to ride tomorrow. I haven't been up in a while. Don't need a clutch effort reduction, my stiff clutch is probably the only reason my left hand even moves. I think of it as physical therapy.   New12r Posted on Saturday, August 25, 2007 - 06:30 pm:        If their were ever a "Mountain TT" in the hills of N-GA and we could have local clubs race against each other. I thing we the "3%er's" would do good... Well lets all get some 50's and race in the True Grits Rally! I will be there in full leather on the 80!! Sanchez, I love the MRC clutch kit!! I second everyone should own one!   Deadduck Posted on Saturday, August 25, 2007 - 06:53 pm:        Sanchez, Chi-Stud,Xbullet, and myself are meeting at my place at 6:00am to meet you and kdan at TWO. I have room for one more if anyone else on the southside wants to meet up, put the bike on the trailor, and take a nap on the way up. If you do, give me a call at 678 201 8707 and I'll give you some directions. Deadduck   Kdan Posted on Saturday, August 25, 2007 - 08:04 pm:        Trailers are for girls. Me-n-Sanchez'll be at Dale's between 10 & 10:30 then, I reckon. Glitch, 9:00am Kdan world, 3008 Steeplechase Dr. Alpharetta if you wanna come with us. Or anyone else for that matter. Coffee will be on.   Shred Posted on Saturday, August 25, 2007 - 09:51 pm:        Wish I could make it up to the hills with ya'll. I'm only going to have time for a local run in the morning. Maybe next weekend.... N12R, True Grits sounds good...   Tkxb9sx Posted on Sunday, August 26, 2007 - 02:34 am:        who was on holcomb bridge today? you were riding a blue cityx and were going towards ga 400   New12r Posted on Sunday, August 26, 2007 - 08:19 am:        Yall have fun today! Shred, I guess I should have called ya, The boy slept till 7:30 so I could have made a run. I gotta go to show off the boy to family(well my wifes aunts husbands faimily) I will prolly only see once every decade......   New12r Posted on Sunday, August 26, 2007 - 09:20 am:        http://www.champsclock.com/50cc.htm Guess the bikes have to be street legal for true grits.   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, August 26, 2007 - 04:46 pm:        We had an awesome time out today. We met up at Dale's, then rode to Gixxer Corner and back. We wanted a photo op, but the road was wet. After that, we took Wolf Pen Gap over to 348 and rode that to highway 75. Chi_stud, Xbullet, Deadduck, and Hooverrider headed back the way they came, while Dan and I took 75 to 129 and then cut over to 400. It didn't really start raining until we hit 129 on the way home, and it didn't get bad until I was almost to 285 on 400. About exit 6, the sky opened up and shit on me like Rosie O'Donnell on a burrito bender. At one point, it rained so hard that even cars were pulling over, but the Uly felt great. Those Avon Storm ST tires live up to their name. I actually got kind of pissed because the cars ahead of me were driving so slowly that the rain was dripping down the back of my neck, and I wasn't getting enough wind to keep my visor clear. The rain dried up quickly after I got onto 285, though, and the last few miles of the ride went just fine. Now if only I'd remembered to put my wallet in my luggage. Oh well, I guess I'll have to microwave it again.   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, August 26, 2007 - 05:25 pm:        Stopped for a picture on 348: Stop that, Xbullet! No means no! Sponge Trooper   Xbullet Posted on Sunday, August 26, 2007 - 07:22 pm:        deadduck and c_stud -- thanks for draggin' me out today. had a blast, hooliganized, and acted the fool, as everyone can tell. HAHA! hey guys... what do they call that in china?   Digital Posted on Sunday, August 26, 2007 - 11:55 pm:        Here are some pictures I snapped of the new 1125 in cutaway display form. This bike was on display at the Buell hospitality tent at the US GP at Laguna. The word is that Buell may make a 600 or so sized version to go racing with. Also they are gaging public reaction to the possibility of a standard/naked version. Funny thing.... I was wearing my Buell mechanic's shirt and got all but ignored. But the people with Kawi, or Honda, or Yamaha shirts were subjected to the third degree. The staff were asking them questions like "What have you thought of Buell before now" "Do you like the new design" "Would you consider buying a Buell now" At least they had free Red Bull for me once I showed my VIN. It was good to finally see a Buell trailer at the Big races.   Sanchez Posted on Monday, August 27, 2007 - 08:26 am:        WANT   Ratyson Posted on Monday, August 27, 2007 - 09:47 am:        2 days and a wake up.. then... ROAD ATLANTA! I am thinking about doing a ride on Friday if anyone is interested. Not sure where.   Chihuahua_stud Posted on Monday, August 27, 2007 - 11:48 am:        Finally I have internet again! Xbullet that pic says it all! LMAO! That was a great time yesterday. Sure is fun riding with a large group again.   Deadduck Posted on Monday, August 27, 2007 - 06:33 pm:        Great day yesterday gentlemen, good to finally put some faces with names. Us "girls" had a nice DRY ride back Thanks C-stud for all the help the past few weeks. Xbullet, when are we doing your suspension? Friday night? if so what time? Deadduck   Kdan Posted on Monday, August 27, 2007 - 06:44 pm:        had a nice DRY ride back Dry leads to friction...nobody wants that.   Chihuahua_stud Posted on Monday, August 27, 2007 - 07:28 pm:        The dry ride back was nice, especially the part when the soaking wet Kawi rider on 400 gave us the finger! No problem Deadduck. When is the suspension party?   New12r Posted on Monday, August 27, 2007 - 08:36 pm:        Welcome our newest bike owner..... My little bro!! Picking up a brand new Yamaha Vulcan 1100 tomorrow afternoon! Jeff(formerly of Cycle Gear) Hooked him up with a killer deal on a leftover 06.   Sanchez Posted on Monday, August 27, 2007 - 08:38 pm:        Vulcan?? I wouldn't have taken him for a cruiser type.   Sanchez Posted on Monday, August 27, 2007 - 08:44 pm:        Anyone interested in some serious seat time? I'm taking next week off and riding up to Winston-Salem, NC to see some family. I only plan to stay there a day, and then I'm heading up to VA and WV or wherever the road takes me. Hooverrider suggested some great roads up the east side of WV and down the west side of VA.   Ulywife Posted on Monday, August 27, 2007 - 10:09 pm:        Sanchez - looks like Carlos and I will be in VA this weekend. Fancy Gap is an hour north of Winston Salem. We're right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. I'll PM you with phone numbers. We may be able to meet up with some other C3 members and Ferris Bueller & Denise.
