I don't, but could just as well. Son #23 shoveling a bit of that white crap away so the approach as a chance to dry out. Like that's going to happen in a week. This pic was taken 20 min.s ago. <shaking head in disgust emoticon here>

Geepers! Not only do I call them by the wrong name....now it would seem I've forgotten in which order they were born.

60's & sunshine by Friday & Saturday...man that will feel good.

 
Mike, how about a picture in the morning after to-nights snow...

It was a rain/snow mix after work this afternoon (about 2:30) so picking up the bike (from Jeff) was put on hold Yet again. I really want to see how his rebuild of the rear shock came out.. And of course the gold valves and springs up front. See ya Saturday.

Later, -K

Things are looking up! All I can say it's been a long time a comin' for this nice weather that's arriving.

Now if my fork parts arrive in time.

 
Just a heads up for your route in. If you were planning on coming in from HWY 65, Viking Blvd. is closed from the intersection west for a short way due to road construction. The drive around is go north to the next stop light at Sims RD, turn west and follow detour sign to go south ( about 2.5 miles) or go to the T in the road at Nightingale and go south to Viking.

I rode that loop last evening.

Mike,

So glad we are finally into Spring! Gramps and I are meeting up in the am (on the way to your place). Hope you don't mind me bringing my pale white *** Italian biotch to your party... My Big black American girl is in need of a new rear tire so she ain't going. Can't stay real long, but looking forward to getting slobbered on by your pup again!

Great to see you'll be able to make it Webby. Boomer should be happy too. He's always glad to greet people who can appreciate his overly zealous salivary glands.

On a side note, my Race Tech gold valves did come in. WoooHoo Funny thing is though, I recieved TWO packages of gold valves. So after talking with Brad @ RT, I told him I would try to sell that extra set this weekend. So if anyone might be interested.....think about it. If not I'll just be sending them back.

The weather appears to be cooperating just fine for the weekend. See you all tomorrow. I'm an early riser, so anytime in the morning will be fine for arrivals.

ONE LAST CAUTION. That last curve before you get to my place is quite sandy.

Mike knows his sand...

 
Wheaton...

Sold my 750 Gixxer for a deposit on my Duc. So no more Asain

ladies (for now).

Mike,

See ya tomorrow.

Well...did anybody show up?
Doing any valve checks, TBS, tire changes??? Anything?

...or is it still too snowy up there?
Yes Wheaton we had a nice group here today. But sad to say, as far as I know, no one took any pics, if they did they were pretty stealth about it.

NBB was the first to show up at around 8:30ish, followed not too soon afterwards by MNFJRpilot. For the most part there wasn't too much wrenching going on besides my forks. Thankfully ScoobyVroom showed up to lead me through the dark valley of fork valve replacement. Gramps & W Webby rode in later in the morning, as did Cookie as well as a buddy of mine Bob on his 'busa steed.

Add to that our event brewmeister with his precious cargo, and it was a pretty good day.

I shouldn't even mention the weather. But I will. What an amazing freaking 180 from what it was just a week ago.

It was a very enjoyable day. Almost got my forks completed, and we managed to swap out one tire. The best part though was just hanging with the guys. Ken, Mark, Chris, Jim, Bob, Marc, Matt & Dwayne....thanks for being able to stop in.

We'll have to find some time to put some miles on together this year.

 
Great get together Mike. God that sunshine felt good.

Lets try to put a ride together sometime soon...maybe in May.

Good to see everyone, & thanks for putting together another Tech Day.

 
Was excited to head up to your place this week and then my daughter and I both end up with a fever yesterday and today, so I was all laid up. Anyways - will see ya later this spring/summer!

What did you do to your forks? Mine need some lovin...
