[yummycheese]

June first is a no go for me. Got a family party in RI. Don't let me hold you guys back though.

Actually, you are the only one who has more than a passive interest in meeting up, so Sunday, June 8th it is!

[TheIglu]

Maintenance on the SV is done. Just need to sync the throttle bodies on the Wee and both bikes are ready to roll.

Still have to fix a trailer light and anchor down the decking boards to the frame. Then I'm go like pizza delivery.

More than pissed I had to back out! Damn freaking knee surgery blowing up my riding season and my trip! Will definitely be waiting for updates of how the week is going (minus Asa's balls of course)!

[TheIglu]

Still have an open spot if anyone wants to join in! Little over two weeks to go before liftoff.

[yummycheese]

Is someone posting up the meet spot for Sunday?

[TheIglu]

Open for suggestions.

I'm likely meeting Nate up at Seacoast Sport Cycle on Saturday, you are welcome to stop in if you are still interested in coming to Deal's.

Or we can go somewhere on Sunday. I'm free both days.

[TheIglu]

Long as Yummycheese (forgot you real name, I'm bad like that) doesn't change his mind, we are full. Chris, looks like you have a gas partner for the ride down and back.

Clocks ticking gentlemen! Get them horses ready!

[TheIglu]

Check your PM's.

Check your PM's.

I fail to understand how gross nude pictures of you, your hair, and a tub of peanut butter sent via private message has any bearing on this trip...

[nhbubba]

I fail to understand how..

You will..

[TheIglu]

Intrepid is allergic to peanut butter.

[nhbubba]

That's all you have to do? Claim your allergic? Wish I had known that..

[Intrepidse17]

I shared a room with him the year before last, I needed some means of protection since vomiting on myself only seemed to get him more excited.

[TheIglu]

Your gag reflex is hot.

[TheIglu]

Everyone ready? 5 days to go.....

[lopycam]

Not yet , but I am working on it.....

[TheIglu]

Put legal directionals on the SV, finally ready for an inspection sticker. Throttle body sync on the Wee, found a bad front wheel bearing. Replacement will be here tomorrow.

Finished the extended tie down rails on the trailer, just need to fix my grease gun and grease the bearings.

Fixed the AC in the truck. Tried to do a fuel filter but rounded off one of the compression nuts so it stays for now. Changed the original spark plugs out (@109k!)' they were shot. 4 were only finger tight, one was so loose there was blow by. She runs smooth and quiet now.

Just made a radar flasher. Total cost, $11. Yeah, could build six of them off the cost of one of these: http://www.marcparnes.com/Visual_Alert.htm

Works tits! Adjustable angle too and mounts directly to the detector.

[TheIglu]

Front and rear diff fluid changed on the truck, it was due. Front drain plug was frozen, had to suck out the oil via the fill port. At least it's done.

Greased the wheel bearings on the trailer after replacing the cheap Chinese zerk fittings that crumbled first use. Blew a hole in the dust cap (metal) from the grease, ordered some bearing buddies to take its place.

Other than giving the interior of the truck a good cleaning and putting in the bearings for the Wee, my pre-pack prep is done. Now to figure out what bourbon, rye and gin drinks I'll want down there so I can pack the appropriate ingredients.....

[nhbubba]

I can't believe you don't pack a keg and a small bottle of CO2.

[lopycam]

I have never been and I have been told I am missing out. Looks like there is one close to the house.... greasy breakfast sounds good after a night of drinking

[TheIglu]

We never tried that place, we should.

There will be no shortages of heart clogging food!

SV just got inspected, Wee is all back together. Nearly ready to go!

[Rosco61]

You guys have a great time. I just got back from there and it's well worth the trip. Next time we go it's going to be bikes in a trailer instead of a 3000 mile round trip on the Multi. I had a great time but I'm whipped.
