Author Message   Xb12mel Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 - 11:20 am:        Wow... Hope you're alright Mike. You sound like you're in good spirits. Anyone care to explain to those of us who are "geographically challenged" what happened?   Goody Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 - 08:42 pm:        Mike...bummer, Eric and I thought something was up when we were the only two there at 0830. Hope you feel better soon and get back on her soon. Goody   S1wmike Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 - 09:37 pm:        Mel and everyone else I was a victim of the 10 mile accordion effect on 64wb Saturday morning, where it finally began t open up and then someone locks up the brakes for no apparent reason, resulting in me locking up the front tire and having it wash out from under me and slamming me to the ground with th bike on top, thus the 235lb. frame slider. Jason Sorry you can't call me Road Thing, It'd been taken already   Puphaphil Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 - 10:18 pm:        Mike, glad you're ok, man. Were you on the Duc, S1, or VRod?   Jason13 Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 - 10:32 pm:        ya but i can call u mr.frameslider   Nillaice Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 - 10:37 pm:        similar accordion-thing happened to me in sc. i tried to dodge the truck in front of me but clipped the taillight with the handlebar end and got myself into a nasty tank slapper facing oncoming traffic. i dove for the grass on the side of the road, and let the bike do it's own thing. happy to hear your okay and in good spirits. hope the insurance company empathizes with you and fixes up your bike 4 ya. i hear nation wide is usually on your side   Ekruizenga Posted on Thursday, June 25, 2009 - 11:21 am:        OK I know it is a little early but who's up for Poes on July 12th?   S1wmike Posted on Thursday, June 25, 2009 - 04:21 pm:        KP I was on the V-Rod, very minimal damage( I know a double adjective) the frame slider took the brunt of he damage. I will need to update the slider material, flesh and bone not very durable Erik If I'm up, I'm up for Poe's if you understood that KMFW were you on the Chesapeake side of 664 heading towards the M and M tunnel wednesday? I saw a polished frame black and gold XB riding with about 5 other bikes and I thought I saw a red XB in the group too.   Nillaice Posted on Thursday, June 25, 2009 - 04:43 pm:        mike, that might have been the same XB i saw at QSL. flat black, amber rims, and screen and poslished. but he had a passenger and was pretty wiry...... sorry i missed you and duck lastnight.   S1wmike Posted on Thursday, June 25, 2009 - 07:29 pm:        ya but i can call u mr.frameslider Slider cause you know me. You don't have to be formal   Xb12mel Posted on Sunday, June 28, 2009 - 06:40 am:        so is anyone trying to take advantage of this warm weather? seems 6 months ago, we would have killed for warm pavement. Now we've got it and everyone's sitting under the AC! Since it's last minute, page me if you want to go out today. Even if it's just to pack ride through the local hangouts.   Ekruizenga Posted on Monday, July 06, 2009 - 05:00 pm:        Anyone up for Poes this weekend?   S1wmike Posted on Monday, July 06, 2009 - 05:22 pm:        Eric I'm not back yet may still be a while. If you go have fun and be safe. Mike   Ekruizenga Posted on Monday, July 06, 2009 - 07:39 pm:        Man sorry to hear that, hope your not out to long.   Ekruizenga Posted on Wednesday, July 08, 2009 - 04:00 pm:        Bueller??? Bueller??? Bueller???   Xb12mel Posted on Wednesday, July 08, 2009 - 04:30 pm:        Been watching TVLand again huh? I'm down for a ride this weekend. This is the second Sunday of the month, should be a Poe's weekend, unless you've got something a little more "spirited" in mind....   Ekruizenga Posted on Wednesday, July 08, 2009 - 09:02 pm:        I was thinking Poes, but trying Tanks other route, if he's available to lead.   Tank_bueller Posted on Thursday, July 09, 2009 - 04:03 pm:        We could do the other route, but by the time we get to Poe's, everyone else will be gone! McD's BG 8am.   Goody Posted on Friday, July 10, 2009 - 09:47 pm:        I'm in !!! I got some really good bar end mirrors off of ebay. No vibes. STT got a little different look with new handguards and turn signals. See y'all Sunday.   Tank_bueller Posted on Saturday, July 11, 2009 - 09:08 pm:        This ride is Cursed! Erik and I Have tried to ride it twice, and I have tried to do it twice alone. None have happened. My fridge just died. I will ride tomorrow, but I won't go there! It goes through an Indian reservation. Tank,   Ekruizenga Posted on Saturday, July 11, 2009 - 09:39 pm:        No problem, I'm up for whatever. have 2 additional ppl that may come along   Xb12mel Posted on Monday, July 13, 2009 - 10:34 am:        Good Ride, slow but good.... Thanks Guys for coming out. Oh, BTW, I now know what's inside of my Drummer thanks to that new bridge on 5!   Ekruizenga Posted on Monday, July 13, 2009 - 06:23 pm:        I'm up for something a lot more spirited next weekend if anyone is interested. What do you mean you know whats in your drummer?   Xb12mel Posted on Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - 11:59 am:        Eric, We bottomed out on the bridge, where the surface transitions from asphalt to concrete. The suspension bottomed out and the lip of the bridge opened my drummer up like a can opener! Inside the muffler was a perforated liner and a bit of batting. That's it. I've been semi successful in reattaching the end cap, but it's not pretty and it leaks.   Goody Posted on Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - 03:36 pm:        Mel, bummer however you told me exactly what I expected they were doing to the Drummers. Perf Core and packing like a silencer on a dirt bike. Put some hi-temp rtv on your end cap and reattach with rivets or larger metal screws.   Goody Posted on Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - 07:07 pm:        Poe's Pub run this Sunday !! Meet up at McDonalds 08sh and head out by 0830am. Who's in? My son will be here to ride up with us, looking for a good time with friends. Goody   Nillaice Posted on Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - 08:14 am:        any body wanna go out for a spin on saturday after the bayside H-D dyno run? and then burgers/dogs and beers at my place on the way back? .... heck, might as well make it another party invite a friend or three!   Braces Posted on Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - 11:31 am:        I'll be at both dyno run and poe's pub this weekend. I am hiking after dyno run in Chesapeake though. Another time Matt!   Xb12mel Posted on Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - 11:50 am:        Im down for the grillin after the Dyno Run, but I'll have to go home and get my son first. The Girls are in a Wedding and I need to take him off their hands.   Miami78 Posted on Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - 01:21 pm:        I'm in for a ride Sat afternoon...what time do you think you'll leave?
