Lew, That is very understandable. We all appreciate the work put into the event each and after having a couple mini rallies here at the house myself, I understand fully the work that goes into setting one up. I had roughly 50 people here for three days for the Skid-In and know everything thats goes on. Thank you for the heads-up in advance. Its been voted on before about other weekends, but I hope it continues being the 3rd weekend as always. Maybe Mini-Muffin or others, will step up to the plate and fill in on the years between the Tail of the Dragon......Hint Hint Sure wish I could have made it to Asheville this weekend......

Easy now, I going to get one soon enough....

what a surprise after work

I replaced mine last summer as a precaution. Yamaha still stocks the bolt and it doesn't cost much.... -
Check the website, should be able to get all the info you need. http://www.blueridgeparkway.org/map2.htm

I know where a First Gen is that looks mighty fine that can be had.......
-
Wow, its a Midnight, and the same year too. I like it! I had a Bare Foot Willie on my First Gen...

Hey, that is nice a nice gift. Wonder if I could get lucky again?

I've been thinking about taking a 2 or 3 day camping trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway sometime this year. That might be a good meet & eat for the members that don't mind sleeping in a tent. I know my son would love it....

Not a bad pic. Since Australia is referred to as "Down Under" I expected more like this.
-
Hey, that is an idea....I could use some help.

Well it looks like there will be a Skid-In 2010. Leslie mentioned this weekend that she was thinking about stepping up the menu for next year's event with something a little different. Its not set in stone yet, but probably June 24th - 27th next year....

I bet if a cop saw him, but he would be laughing too hard to pull him over.

So are you going to be riding down to Vogel?

Charging a new battery

Put my battery in and RIDE... PS: I had to put "Ugly" on the charger today.... -
There is a gold colored Pontiac Grand AM with an excellent body for $1800.00 here in town. Been for sale just a couple days.... Shoot me a PM if you're interested for the number.

Well I priced the Yamaha rear shock this morning at the local dealer and they are a little over $600.00. I knew when I bought the bike that it was going to be sooner or later needing a rear shock. So it really wasn't unplanned......
-
So far looking at it I do not see where the oil had come out. It doesn't appear to had been cleaned as it still appears to be somewhat dirty as normal under a bike. Although, there was no air in the front or rear shock when I got it. During the Skid-In someone put about 30 lbs of air in he rear and 7 lbs in the front with a small hand pump. It sounding like I need to start looking for a rear shock...... So what is the best replacement rear shock, should I just go with Yamaha or is there a better aftermarket to go with?
-
I'm hearing a squeaking noise when compressing the rear shock. I searched for any leak, but everything is dry for now. Not sure if it is the rear shock or a bushing making the noise I hear. I know the rear shock has been a weak point on the Second Gens. It has 25K miles on it so its probably about time. Its not a high pitch squeak, but more of a low pitch rubbing noise. Is this the shock about to go?

I got mine ordered from Larry, but I'm picking mine up at vogel...

My son, Skid the Kid:thumbsup2:

If it wasn't for this site, my First Gen wouldn't still be on the road.....I would have never tackled a few upgrades without the knowledge I learned on this site....Thank you Don. Is that $12.00 a month per member or per family?
-
Yeah, I got a few upgrades to do myself. A cup holder, xm & gps mounts, radiator grill cover, and I know there will be a couple more I'll think of soon.

I have a good friend locally here in town that has a silk screening business, He does most of all the sports uniforms for the schools. I can check with him and see what I can come up with. May even get a pretty good break....

Welcome back buddy, I missed you on here. I figured since I turned to the dark side that you wouldn't talk to me anymore.
