Mel, I'll see what I can make happen on this end for the 13th. My buddy and his wife are riding in W. Virginia this weekend. As soon as I talk to him I'll let him know about the 13th. I should be able to have 4 riders to go. |

Jeff
The normal Pungo loop we take includes Salem, Indian River, West Neck, Princess Anne, IR again, New Bridge, Charity Neck, Gum Bridge, New Bridge or Muddy Creek???, Morris Neck, PA again, Pungo Ferry, Blackwater, Indian Creek, 168S, Balahak(sp?), 17N, Cornland, Benefit and the twisties end at Johnston It's a 100 plus mile run with several rest sops if needed along th way. Matt and I kind of refined the new parts to it this weekend, he last time we took the ride we were adding new roads, If you have some new stuff to add or something different I am always up for a Pungo ride.
Anyone wanting to ride the sotuhside today post up or get in touch 7578164611.

Alright everyone lets see if we can make this happen. This upcoming Sunday the 13th lets all ride to Poe's up in Richmond. I know me and my wife are in and Duck is in also (just talked to him about 5 minutes ago). We can meet up in Williamsburg somewhere and ride up 5 from there. Jeff let me know if you and the wifey are in. |

Just to introduce myself my name is Jimmy been riding Buells for about a year the wifey (Becky has been ridin about 3 months) been in the area about a year now and will be here for about 2 more. Just like a lot of you other guys I am military. Love ridin if I could not ride I would go crazy. So hit me up if any body needs anything. I can do quiet a bit of mechanical work so if you need anything let me know, or if you just wanna go out and ride. |

The one on Rt. 60 across the street from Busch Gardens. If you want to do the slab, just take 64W to the Busch Exit and take a left at the light. McD's is on the right about 1 mile up. |

For the record Tank... you were right, I was wrong.
The Scg only has 41mm Shocks. I'm going through "shock envy" looking at those humongous 47mm ones on the 1125R! 
I guess I was just in denial! (no not the river) |

hey mel, i see in one of ur post that u need ur 10k service done. was that the price at SSHD or HRHD? my bike is going to need it too, but if it going to cost me that much then i will do it myself! i cant diss out that much on a bike for a service, hell i skipped having my 10k service done on the harley and am doing it... if anything i will talk to u tonight about it..

Yeah.... That was from SSHD. What I'm thinking about is using my Manual and doing it myself. The problem is I use this bike every day... I can't afford for it to be down even a single day. So my 10K is looking more like an 11K right now.
I might be able to ride up to my Dad's Monster Garage since he's got the lift and all the tools necessary. Maybe just spend the night over at his place and get it done all the same weekend. (Actually, that sounds like a good plan) |

kk. np i will probly end up buying the tools and doing it myself then.. we have a lift at matts shop for the bikes now. so i guess i will just have to plan to do it when im up their one weekend. |

Hell,
I guess I will either have to stay under 10k for a nice little while (till I hit the lottery or rob a bank), reck it and get the money, or sell it by that time huh. Just kidding. But I can't afford that either, after buying the trailer and spending $300 in gas to drive that big ole boy to Chicago. Mel, it's all your fault for getting such a good deal. I guess the rest of the money had to get paid out somewhere. Hopefully I can dump the kids off at grandma's tomorrow and me and my brother can hit the pavement. I will see you all in Aug.

Goody, where were you last Wednesday!?!?!?!?! We showed up at Hoss's with 4 (+1) Buells at one time. Yeah, Duck took the Uly home and brought back his S1...that would be the +1. See you all in a few. |

Pupa, last wednesday we were at Baileys at 8pm. I stopped by there around 7pm and didn 't see anyone, (Buells) so I headed out.
I wish I could've gone today but the work mongers got ahold of me...(I hate voice mail). Ahhh well....another time soon. Goody |

Duck, so a real world ride assessment of the 1125 if you please? (Not one of those magazine endorsements)
Jimmy, Becky great to meet you, please tell Buck sorry the road wasn't quite wide enough.
Becky... Keep up the good work girl! It was cool riding with you. |

THanks for the ride today fellas Becky had a blast just wish we could have finished outthe ride with you guys. Buck started getting real light headed and could not hardly stand up. We finally got on the road at about 530 and took 460 down to 58 to come home. Becky said she learned alot from you guys and cannot wait to ride with you all again. We will keep it strictly Buells from our end from now on. So is anyone up for Pungo Saturday evening? Becky gets home from work about 445 could be ready to by 515 at the latest. |

becky,
seeing you ride today got me thinkin' again 'bout gettin another xb (one for my wife, that is). i really like hearing about your riding skills improve. it'd be keen if i could get my wife on her own bike so she could enjoy riding as much as i do. maybe then she won't give me so much flack about going out ALL day.
you are an inspiration |

Yeah.... I was telling my 12yo and 14yo Daughters that Becky was riding with us... they were like... really? but when I told them you had a Pink Jacket, their eyes lit up and were suddenly very interested! Suddenly it was like I had to tell them the whole story again because they didn't quite hear me the first time. You'll never know what gets them excited! |
