I love the taste of frozen snot

[Bellagio]

Anybody doing this up in March?  It seems like a short ride (especially since I live right off the route), but it'd be fun to get out a put some miles on with freinds new and old.

No takers on this??

Its a 100 miles each way there and back.  I'd have frozen snot by the time I got out of Waushara county.

Nieces B-day soiree that day, about 2 hours away.

No takers on this??

Both of those are valid excuses.  Luckily the end point is about 2 miles from my house, so the ride back will be very friendly.  Is everybody else still in hibernation?

if the roads are clean, count me in.  i'll most likely be riding with a few kids on rat bikes.

Glad to see there's still life on our local.  I'm probably going to have a RC-51, a XB12R (or two), a 749, a '75 CB750, and a couple Harleys with me (if no one bails...)

Might go. Means an early start as I'm in Sheboygan and would likely meet up with a DR in Slinger.
Unless I get the new chain/sprocket on the Duc I'd probably be on the VFR though. Elemental protection might be nice!

[Bellagio]

Sounds good Boomer.  My electrical is on the fritz, I should *hopefully* have it fixed tonight.

 Ever seen such a sweet set of asses?




Got the chain off and sprocket changed this morning before work and hope to get the new chain cut and put on tomorrow before work.

Well, we had 3 Monsters at the ride today.  I was on the 620 Dark with the hi-mount Leo Vinces.  Also saw a red M900 and an S4R (I believe it was Boomer).  Not a great day for a ride, but not terrible either.

I'm glad you guys got out.  I'm in the middle of changing timing belts and valve check for the first time.  I think I have some issues with the vertical cylinder - no pressure at the sparkplug hole when I turn the engine over? 

[vwboomer]

Hey I saw ya get on after the powerhouse I think  i dunno. Nobody around the couple times I walked past the bike tho!  I never saw the M900 rider either.
The hand shift chopped bike was pretty sweet.

Lotta dual sports and older bikes, even an F4 but not much for us Duc fans.

The ride back to sheboygan was brutal with the headwind and migraine I developed. But can't complain about the weather at all.


As for your belt job Warren I only checked mine once (that was enough) but does it seem there is less air moving through it than the rear? If you are turning it over slowly you may not notice much. It was 2 years ago I did mine so I'm a bit IZ_ on it.

If anyone is interested a couple pics are up and more may or may not be forthcoming. Nothing specific but here it is

Even shows the secret technique for starting a German bike!

Yeah, that was me, we didn't do Palomino just cause it's real close to my house.  There was an event at House of Harley, so my buddy on the murdered out Buell XB12R with the tail end missing wanted to stop in.  Can't wait for more rides.  The riding season is here!  I'm going out for a bit today.
