Reuben Run #8

[samamoto]

I had to cancel my booking... My FJR just isn't there anymore ready to ride... Every time I think I have it fixed something new shows up and the total costs just add up so badly I'm forced to pass on this fine event... Not the summer I was expecting with my bike at all...

On the good side - there is one more room for booking available.

Ok guys. So my fjr is down. I blew up the transmission. Before the trans blew up, I had been getting a lot of fuel in my oil and my mpg was absolutely horrible even though it was still running ok. Got a free doner motor that we all thought had a cracked head and figured that I would just put my head on it. I found out that it wasn't the cracked head but it was the cylinder wall had a massive chunk taken out of the side. Still not sure how that happen when the top of the piston and the valves look just fine. I haven't pulled things about to check the rings on it. I was going to put rings on my old motor and swap out the transmission but first decided to mic all the cylinders. All the cylinders are way out of spec. It would be little bandaid on a big gash. Anyway, I'll be driving down and borrowing a local bike unless I find another option.

Does anyone have an extra bed?

 

[Hudson]

Just reserved a room! The run down will be interesting - I have a herniated disc which has put a major cramp to my riding, so there is a good chance if my therapy doesn’t pan out soon, I may be driving down, with a bike in the back of the truck. I can do 200 miles before it gets tough, so it puts an interesting option on the table. Namely, bring down a bike I can ride that is fun but only good for 200 miles. Or a Monkey. Sure as hell won’t be trucking the FJR and wrestling it down the ramps.

Decisions decisions.

In!

Bed found - Thanks Marty

Place is going down the tubes quick, JSNS

I tried and tried but too much other travel going on. King Room available at the Best Western.

 

[JREW]

I'm sorry to say, but because of health reasons I'm having to cancel this year. I was sharing with CraigRegs, so if a room is needed, you might check with Craig. Have fun everyone.

 

[FJRay]

Sorry you can't make it. Heal up and come next time. There will be a couple more.

Stick with me kid, and you'll do fine. I'll be test riding the KZ1300 and R69s.

Jim, we can discuss the VStrom Sprocket wear over a libation or two.

Get a little jbweld, glob some on there, wait an hour, file it down with a rat tail file, then sand for finish!

Ray, is the valet preferred parking for the YAMAHA Super Tenere still available?

Asking for a friend.

Both of which are next door behind the feed store next to the used Pig feed pile.

If my FJR didn't deserve a nice road trip, I'd ride the Tenere so I could get preferred parking too...
