Good to see a coupla nice bikes in the WareHome...
BarneyPhife just dropped off a very nice Sport Classic for a 42 rear sprocket transformation (lthough he will def need a new rear tire when he gets back  )
Everybody doing a thorough inspection??

Yep, I think my tires will make the trip. I'll probably do an oil change next week and rebleed all of my lines.

well, my ride is in the capable hands of Mr. McCarter....  but the tires i think will stay on for the trip.  they have nothing but tread on the outside... and i see some changes happening when i get back from HC....  i'll have to learn how to do a burnout when i get back from HC...i've never attempted one before.

Ah burnouts, fun stuff.  Compress the forks and keep the front break on should break the rear loose and bring the smoke. I did a gnarly burnout with 620 before I swapped tires/chain/sprockets.  I don't think the neighbors like me much after that

I think I'm good:

chain cleaned and waxed--yet to do
oil, filter change--check
tire condition--check
other fluids--check
various tools, CO2/plugs, and gadgets--check

The PS is good on tread... in the center!
The Qualifiers have only sen 4 track days 
Probably will be time for new ones when we get back.

i think i'm just packing BDU pants for this trip!  they fit nice with knee protectors.  and some clean boxers...maybe socks?  i think that's it, right?

what else...cheapo Sansa MP3 player to listen to all the music i shouldn't be...and earplugs.

sorry..."camo" i should have said.  loose fitting and cool; would stand up to some amount of abuse.

[bryant8]

You'll want to pack a pair of shorts or something b.c it could be quite muggy out there. Done forget about the pool at KR too

I'll be bring my slime air compressor, it runs off of my battery tender connection. Plugs are a good idea, the slime gunks up your wheel

Scott, honestly, have you ever known anyone on this board to pick on, dog-pile, taunt, or otherwise harrass another poster to this lovely little corner of the internet we call home?  I mean we're above that
