SE Ohio Spring Ramble - 3-5 May 2013 - Marietta, Ohio Microtel Inn

[wheatonFJR]

Shouldn't you be putting your bike together? Or are you just going to rent a Harley for next weekend?

Do I hear the next EOM whipping post person rearing their head?

Can't be...this is Ohio where the roads are straight, flat, and BORING.

I'll get on it...it's on tomorrow's schedule.

...and if that doesn't work, dcarver says I can use his Harley.

North of Wildson isn't such a big loss, 800 runs parallel to it up to Barnesville. I really gotta visit that place!

Got the bikes out last Sunday, tomorrow is maintenance day along with a bit of riding. Jim's bike goes in on Monday for a fresh back tire and ECU reflash.

We've reserved a room in St. Catherines for Thursday night so we are going to cut out of work Thurs. just after lunch. This gives us extra time to install his Givi top box at Premier Cycle and personally thank Wayne for all he's done for the FJR community over the years, again.

Got my fingers, toes, eyes and balls crossed for good weather.

 

[Bockelrider]

I am sorry to say that I will not make the ride. I look forward to seeing you all next round...maybe we can do it again in the Fall.

Working on Sat and my Grand Daughters First Communion on Sunday.

Work I maybe could blow off but never little Maddie....she has a big spot in my heart.

Tell Duane I said hey and thanks as well.

Well...an unexpected hiccup may keep me away from the Ramble. I had to remove a frame member connection to remove the aftermarket shock in January. I am having great difficulty getting the frame connection holes lined up so I can thread the connectors back on. The member requires tension to hold it in place and the aluminum threads in the frame are very soft, so I need to be careful not to cross thread....blah, blah, blah.

This dumbsheet mechanic may not have his bike together in time. I am splitting a room with petey...so he may need a roomey if I can't get it together in time. Wish me luck tomorrow...

Mark...hope yer just kidding. You better be there!

I have to be in Lisle at 3pm, but I'll probably be free after 4pm, if you want some help. Let me know.

Thanks for all your work...but I am out of the Ramble this year. Just not gonna happen this year for me. Y'all be safe.

 

[extrememarine]

Marty - take a peek and let us know what he needs. Just because Mark has given up, doesn't mean we have...

Man, I hate when that happens! But Hey!!!!! If you get a free weekend this summer and you give us a heads up, some of us who live near here will meet up with you and anyone who comes with you and we'll "Blast Around" together. And just one more little thing. Just between you and me, and be honest man, was your not being able to fix the bike any way related to the chances of you winning the parking lot races? If you would like we will send you one of the HD mugs for your office desk......Just Sayin!!!!! Dastardly Dave

Art - how so? They are GPX, which should load to any Garmin. Make sure the fine is being named appropriately (ending in .GPX).
