Everybody !!!
I just took this class sponsored by NC Law Enforcement agencies. I took my class in Durham. It consists of an eight hour training, including a bike inspection and then a short observed ride, followed by a long observed ride.
The guys who taught it were pretty low key. It is based off of a BikeSafe London campaign to reduce motorcycle fatalities. North Carolina is the first state to offer it in the US and they hope it will go national.
If it gets really popular, they might start charging a small fee to cover costs... but it is free at this point.
Durham PD Officer Gore said they can do classes for groups together (like C3). Up to 14 participants at a time.
PLEASE let me know if anyone is interested. You could get a 10% discount on your MC insurance after you complete the course. They may be able to add one in November if we get enough interest.
FAMILY MEMBERS are also welcome !!!

Char - sorry I forgot to call you back Sunday about oil
The class seems cool
I've been busting my butt on this tuber
Rear motor mounts bolted up
Oil tank and oil lines ran
Tranny is in
Now to do the starter, heads, rockerboxes/pushrods, hook up intake manifold put tail and tank on, hook up all connections, put battery in etc
and then I get to start the break in procedure which will take the remainder of the week.
All of this for next weekend.
Off to the garage again... |

I've wanted to do that class for over a year now.Learned about it from a police officer friend who does that class in Greenville.
Anyone interested? Might just do it alone.Every one is so busy including myself.

There is one that still has space on November 4th in Raleigh. I would really encourage you to sign up for it Mark. You will not regret it. They will even tell you about some of the new pro-mc laws if you push them a little bit. |

Glad all the important inside parts are inside, and the non OEM stuff came out at the end of the operation!
Keep recovering Jim! |

His phone is probably dead.
I left around 11:30 and he seemed to being doing fine.
Made a 3%er out of his daughter last night... put a smile on Oldog's face. |

Keep up the recovery, Jim!
For those who don't check out the Old School Buell section, there's a new owner of an S2 in Raleigh - and not just any S2 -
a customized S2!
He's up for laying his eyes on some other Buell's, so hopefully some of you that are a little closer to Raleigh can PM him and get the first impressions out of the way.
I'm sure any C3'er will give a fine first impression!

I'm gonna try and raise the dead again. I swear I keep getting closer and closer to success every year... 
When you're expected to zig, zag I say... 
Seriously though, all I've got thus far is a Halloween party put on by some old/new colleagues on the 22nd. I don't think I'll be interested in going to Greenville this year - that scene just ain't fun anymore. Ever since the Strawberry Shortcake experience it just isn't the same anymore.
I'll probably celebrate the actual night, but not sure about the weekend prior. I think at some point it may involve some Absinthe. 
Unfortunately I won't be ready to host a party this year, but 2012 will DEFINITELY be the year!
Just look for the  ,

I sense a road trip to Hatteras coming on ! Are the ferries running from Cedar Island out to Ocrakoke yet for tourists ? Is there still a back yard to pitch a tent in, Donnie ?
I am thinking 'someone' might need some quality time with the Piglet !!!

YES.The ferries are running.We had no real damage here.Rodanthe & Avon took the brunt of the soundside flooding.Those villages are still in clean up/rebuild mode.Tent space available. |
