Tech Day (SoCal)

[Silver Penguin]

We need pictures, and a count of empties.

Hey - did you know that they were only allowing blue FJR's at the tech day? Mine was the wrong color so I had to go on a different bike that day.

Thats not true as Kelvin showed up on an AE.....

Anyway the weekend started with Tim braving the Friday afternoon LA traffic. He arrived at around 6pm and said he was ready for a drink so i provided him with 1 or 2. We then had dinner after which we (I) decided to pull out the dice games (always fun when you are shit faced).

Bed time was around 11 (although the room was still spinning at 2am for me).

Saturday morning arrived a little too soon for me and way too soon for Tim. I went looking for Donuts at 7am to go with Karen's coffee.

John arrived just after 8 with Barry close behind him.

So now the work could begin....................

I figured out why John wanted to put that extra relay and all that wire on my bike.....
he just wants to try and slow me down.

Look at it this way, you can sell all the added copper John put on your bike and buy a turbo charger!

Oh and a big thanks to Mark for running to purchase all the grommets in the Western hemisphere!!

 

[Spridal]

Oh that's just great! You had to snap a picture of me stuffing my face! It was great meeting you guys and I truly appreciate the warm welcome.

Damn, Plan thworted. That remote control ignition retard switch that I was installing on Richard's bike was looking Sweet, until Kelvin questioned why we needed 5 relays and 300 feet of wiring.

Ummm..... Ah.... Because ....... that's the way you wire a bike for a Brit? The more wire and relays the more likely the electronics will fail? Kind of makes those Brits feel at home. You know Lucas electronics, "The Prince of Darkness" and all that crap.

Well, the hella ff50 were delivered yesterday, finally. Hook the wire up and took off to as dark of road as we have in the OC- by the navy weapons depot in sunset beach. WOW, a big improvement. Really, this was the biggest weakness of my 06 fjr. I would have not problem riding at night now. Yeah, they are not soloteks, but only one car flashed high beams at me.
