Title: Slimy Crud Run
Post by: WarrenJ on April 29, 2010, 03:03:56 AM
Slimy Crud Run is this Sunday, May 2nd.  Pine Bluff to Leyland.  Last spring there were probably 2000 bikes there.  Interesting Ride.   I'll be there weather permitting.

I hope I have my electrical difficulties sorted out too.  My regulator fried - running 19V to the battery, putting boiling acid down the side of the bike among other things.  All appears to be  working correctly now - I hope.

I think Mr. Van Sant and I are going, plus a few Buells, and perhaps an HD. Where are people meeting up if they're going?  I think the Milwukee riders are meeting at Miller Park.

What a zoo!  I think there were half again more motorcycles there than last spring.  I have no idea how I did not get pulled over about three times today - cops everywhere!  Sorry I didn't get to meet up with any of you.  Hope everyone had a safe day.

It was pretty nuts.  Ended up putting 380 miles on yesterday and an addiational 160 from Saturday.  That equals one sore Monday.  Had a really good time this year, although our tradition of getting pulled over stayed true.  Last year it was my buddy on his XB12R smoking out all of Leland, this year it was because of a vertical license plate on a GSX-R.  Out of over 50 bikes in the pack they get the hispanic guy on a chromed out Gixxer.  Gotta love it.

Met another Monster rider on a red M900 with chopped Feracci carbon canisters, he should be joining us on here soon.

I only sat two other monsters - both silver - one had the covers off the timing belts.

We got to Pine Bluff a bit late (11:30AM)  Our group from Milwaukee was myself (620 Dark with black clipons), That nice Guy Beck (Pearl White S4RS with seat cowl), a flat blacked out XB12R with a complete rearend chop, a red/chrome streched GSX-R (I know... I know, we just wanted more bikes to come with) and a Black HD Dyna.  We were parked in the lot next to Red Mouse along the wooden fence.  Would have been nice to finally meet you.  I'll post pics that I've found of us/our bikes online.

I wonder why I couldn't find any pictures of my bike?  Maybe because it's lame.

When I came in, there were probably only 50 bikes there total.  That sure changed in a hurry.  I left Pine Bluff about 11:00, took a bunch of nice backroads over to Spring Green, ran C up to Leyland, hung out there about an hour and headed back North.  We'll have to try and reschedule a Sals Run.

At this point in time I couldn't feel my legs...

The Fall Slimy Crud Run is this Sunday, October 3rd.  I'm toying with the idea, depending on the weather.

WarrenJ, I'll be there.  I'm shooting for Pine Bluff at 11am (hopefully earlier?) Sunday.  I'll be on my S4RS with a few Beamers, an H1 if he gets the thing running, and maybe an M600, who knows. :)

We'll see how darn cold it is - its 110 miles from here to Pine Bluff - I'll have to put on the long handled underwear I guess.

I wimped out - 34F this moring is my lame excuse.

You missed out!  It turned out to be a great day.  2000 bikes maybe?  I was almost home without police intervention (unlike the spring ride) until one of the guys in our group did your standard target-fixate-send-bike-into-ditch routine.  (Guess which Milwaukee brand bike he was on.)  He's fine, but kids, please, take the motorcycle safety class.  100% preventable mishap.  My dad came along for the first time and took lots of pics, I'll post up a few when I get them.

Glad you had a good trip.  I had to be in Sauk City today with a cage and saw all the bikes going past - it was heartbreaking.

I am thinking about taking Wednesday and Thursday off and riding from here (West of Oshkosh) down to Sauk City and taking 60 from there to Prairie du Chein then running up the Mississippi up to Hwy 29 and working my way back home.  The weather is supposed to be great and 60 from Gotham to Prairie du Chein is about 80 miles of connected sweepers.  It should be a good workout for the 750 Monster and a great ride near the end of the season. 

Hopefully things work out for your buddy and his Milwaukee bike.  One thing I was frustrated with last spring at the Run was all the cops.  I rode by myself on some pretty out of the way routes and there were cops tucked in everywhere.  I wasn't running hard and didn't get stopped, but having hall moniters everywhere trying to help their county make payroll  made the run just a little less fun.
