Title: Saturday or Sunday ride
Post by: muskrat on March 12, 2015, 04:22:19 PM
Ride anyone?  455 is freshly paved and we can do the Charles honorary ride. 
Post up and see what we can get

Going to COTA trackday with AMS tomorrow. [Dolph]  You guys have a fun ride.

Looks like the weather will be awesome!  Have a great time. [thumbsup]

I'll be picking up mine at AMS in the morning, so looking forward to a nice time back to E. Tex.

Still prepping the bike. It's been so wet this winter that my brake fluid is the color of Jack Daniels; so I'll be bleeding the brakes tomorrow. Had to have RPM Cycle bleed my clutch Wednesday when I went for inspection: couldn't find neutral/get it out of gear. $50! Should've checked it earlier....[bang]

Sunday would have been possible for me, but oh well. Have fun! [thumbsup]

Pinocchio, you tinker with more than AMS on bikes.

So what is the plan?

It's partly my OCD, I know, but a spongy front and non-existent rear brake could turn a 200 mile day ride into a descent to the 9th circle of Hell.

Also, I probably need to check torque on all critical fasteners, like the ones that hold on my brake calipers and my exhaust canister.  [laugh]

I take it there was no ride today.  It misted on me all the way to J'ville. 

Looks like Sunday might be good, just in time for my throttle body balanced, shimmed, hydraulic fluid fresh, chain and clutch plate OKed, belts and plugs replaced, brake shoes checked bike to go on an E. Tex twisty route.   [Dolph]

'Skrat wussed out on Saturday morning so I tried going out by myself after running some errands locally. I thought I'd head up 75 to 455 and go West.

As I was heading up 75 I would run into mist occasionally. When I got North of 380 the traffic on 75 came to a complete standstill due to construction.

I turned around and came home.

It turns out that the wus was right after all!

I know! I almost threw up in my mouth a little bit admitting that!

Feeling any better?

Hey! Sorry we missed you at Dodie's, man!  ;)

And hello to the rest of y'all as well!  [thumbsup] Both of my bikes are gathering dust pending cash for much needed maintenance.  [bang] I'm pretty sure I've forgotten how to ride at this point...

Hi Rob! I'm sorry we missed you guys as well! Were you up there getting boiled crawfish? I was in Abbeville last week so I got my 3 pounds in!

LOL  Nah, we just got a couple of po-boys. We just learned that Kroger has crawfish, though... May have to try them out!
