    Micro Meetup in MI

    Thanks. I had fun. It was short notice and a short ride…but any time I am on my motorcycle is quality time. Maybe some Michiganders will see this and join up some time.

    2007 - tech day

    I had a couple of questions about the bike from tech day. Some of it came with the bike (exhaust), some of it I put on when I got it (tank bra) and some is new when I started riding again. My short term memory is mush. I am probably only one step away from a nursing home with drool running...

    What is it like riding in Michigan?

    I have only lived in Michigan for 9 years this time. This is my second time living in Michigan. I am also closer to Battle Creek then Detroit. I have a 2007 with full coverage and it is only $544 a year. Honestly comparable to when I lived in Maryland and Pennsylvania. As far as roads…hit and...

    Tech Day XXVII - October 5, 2024, in Marysville, Ohio

    It was suggested that I should probably rebuild the forks (or coming up at least.. ot having an issues). I ordered a traxxion kit. (Traxxion Dynamics Fork Spring Kit OMNI 1.10kg/mm ). I am not sure if I need any other parts. Please let me know if I do. Instructions recommend Maxima 7w oil so I...

    I am not active in this or any forum, but I would like to attend. What does my bike need? Probably a lot but I am more interested in learning then taking up peoples time with my issues. 2007 with 27,000 miles. I would grab a hotel and probably be there Friday night/early Saturday.

    bike ride from Baltimore

    Depending on the time and where you want to go, I may be up for a ride. I just came back from Michigan and stopped to get tires on the way back. I am about 45 minutes north of Baltimore.

    Need something different...as far as a route

    Do to the state of the auto industry, I am required to take two weeks off before I wanted. I really wanted two months, but I guess I will take two weeks. I am shooting out to Michigan (from Maryland) to see some friends around the 29th. The question is where to go from there. I have been to...
