I wore my tires out the other weekend in PA. I have a new set of PR2's that I will bring with me and I hope we can get those put on this weekend along with some extra moly for the drive shaft. Going to replace the road runner horn with a PIAA Sport Horn as well. Please add me to the list Mike.
Did you fatside the rear to 190/55?, and where did you find the best deal on the 2's?... They're hard(er) to find anymore. I'm in the market and my 6 banger has a 190/55 rear by OEM default.

 
Yup, going to 190/55 on the rear. Hoping it will help my speedo to be more accurate. It's 10% high compared to my GPS in kilometers per hour. Tim (madmudder) directed me to Rocky Mountain ATV MC for them. They were in stock and shipped within the US for free. www.rockymountainatvmc.com .

You actually look at your speedo?? I'm running a 190/55 at the moment.... fixes half the error. To fix it all it takes going to the darkside.

Andy's in? Ok, have to make the trip for sure now...

I'm about 90% go at this point. CFO has provided funding and permissions... But, I have to get homework done Friday night in order to launch Saturday morning.

Please PM me the LZ grid when you get a chance - I'll be making the run via Kanuckistan crossing at Lewiston most likely.

Ray - if there's any misc. hardware or parts you think would be good to have along, I'll pair down my parts bin and pack it. No valve checks going, so I'll leave the spare coolant pipe home.

Wings - I remember now what I miss about working in Buffalo...

 
Our plan is to depart CowTown Friday afternoon and head to Buffalo, with a stop along the way for Stromboli at the Rainbow Cafe in Conneaut. We'll stay Saturday night with Susie's sister and her family in Buffalo.

We'll be at Mike's sometime prolly mid- to late-morning on Saturday and will hang out. I don't really have anything for my bike unless that damned intermittent Code 19 pops up again, then I'll prolly need help cleaning out the side-stand switch.

So the weather for this weekend looks good, with the possible exception of Sunday (79, but 30% chance isolated t-storms). Got the garage prepped, got the beer chillin', groceries are got, fire pit is loaded up and ready to go.

Ray is coming today to get his and my work outta the way before tomorrow. Billy 'Fitter should be here in his jet-lagged stupor late this afternoon. The rest of the horde arriving tomorrow, and I think we're ready. You know, I think it's good to have a gathering like this once in a while, as we have cleaned things that haven't been cleaned since Bush II was prez!

'Soon as Sooze gets home from work we'll load up and head for Buffalo. Keep an eye on FB for some stromboli.

I actually got a sampler 12-pack of their beer for everyone's enjoyment! Plus one from Buffalo's Flying Bison brewery.
I liked this one...

He might actually think it may werk!
