Dang Kris, that sux. Going to get your bike and riding to the mountains with us is just what you need to get over the whole getting laid off thing.

Boy do I sure as crap wish. If I get my severance pay before you guys go, I will be able to get my girl and go with you.

Anyone riding this weekend?

I'm thinking about checking out the ride from Redline Sunday morning.  Also may go out this afternoon.  Do you have something in mind?

Damn, that is tomorrow. I totally forgot about that.
No, I didn't really have anything in mind, I just got itchy yesterday when the weather finally broke.
Of course, since I wrote it, today got al booked up, but tomorrow is free. I may have to get up at the crack of sparrowfart and head to Redline.

I'm going to check it out.  Want to meet there around 7:30?

Anybody else up for the Redline gig?

I'm gonna have to pass on this one. Weather channel says rain tomorrow night into Monday, and I've got to reflash a chimney, and patch the ceiling under it, so I'm going to take care of the reflashing tomorrow, so I can patch on Monday without trying to bond new tar to wet shingles.
Y'all enjoy, tho. Post up if it was good or not.

Actually got done early and got an hour or so ride in with my Harley ridin' neighbor, and Gearhead211(Aka Dave).

Met at Redline this morning around 7:45.  There were 10 riders and we took the Colonial Parkway to Hwy 5, crossed the James River near Hopewell then made our way to Wakefield where we had breakfast at the Virginia Diner.  A real good group of folks and we had a lot of fun.  It even got a little spirited in a few places where there were curves.  I'll definitely be riding with them again.  Here's a pic of the group waiting to get on the Jamestown Ferry on the return trip.

Anyone going to the obx thing? Im leavn tomorrow around 1. Come on.

[wllgmr]

Well I went to the obx rally. It was fun. No other ducs though. So obviously I had the coolest bike there . I think my clutch is worn slam out. but it does still run and shift. Im not quite sure how bad it is. I posted a topic about it on the general forum. Im curious to see what some of those brainy dudes think.

How many miles? After I get done with the valves on my monster I can give you a hand taking a look at your clutch if you want. 

Replaced the fuel filter last night, who ever put that thing in the tank had tiny hands.  Tonight I measured the valve clearances.  They were all within the Ducati specs, but all well out of the "preferred" specs.  I figure while I am in there I might as well make them right.  This may take a while working 1 hour at a time.
