Philly area meet?

[NoLibT140]

I just got mine timed. First time EVER that I started a Norton on the first kick (gotta love the Boyer Mk IV) - it was magical. Went to ride it home from the guy who was helping me with the timing, and the clutch was stuck, and for the life of me couldn't get it unf**ked. I have a new Barnett waiting to go in, but it's gonna be another week 'til I can get to it...

Still THRILLED to have a one-kick bike. Then maybe I can get to some break-in mileage.

Good to see another brit getting back on the road!

Good stuff Todd. I used to only kick twice...now its a bunch when shes cold. whatever, she is running better than ever. Did a 73 mile round trip to a tri state tuner thing yesterday. So now that it is running right I re tore her apart to do my seat and other cosmetic enhancements.

Thanks, guys. Yeah, very happy to have it back on the road - she sat for 18 years before I got to 'er. I would've logged some break-in miles if I could've.

Tuesday is fun at the Abbaye, but if you want to go for one helluva ride, check out the boys at http://www.chinonthetank.com/. We ride every Thursday night through the winding roads of Philly's Fairmount park. Ya dig?

Yeah my headlight is still being weird. It is now on, but its on without the key even in the ignition. Something is draining my battery. I am really getting bored with the whole situation.

I'm telling you, you need to disconnect that bitch and get a 2 million candle power spotlight and ziptie it to the handlebars....that would be something! I'm no mechanic but if you need a hand I can come by and drink your beer and lend my .02 cents, haha.

 

[GroovyAardvark]

Oh Dan I didn't even realize it was you! I was thinking, who the hell is this guy who wants to come over and drink our beers!?! How does he know about my headlight woes?! has he been stalking every single thread I've posted in!

hahaha I told bob last night and hes like 'thats Dan you idiot'.... needless to say I agree with him there.

 

[Almost_Vintage_GS]

HAHAHAHA, that is too funny, yes it is me...but that doesn't mean I don't stalk you...by the way congrats on the engagement, when did you pop the big question?...and yes I will be attending, can the wifey come as well?

 

[GroovyAardvark]

haha, it wasn't so much a 'popping' of the question it was similar to how we originally started going out actually.
"we should do this what do you think?" - "Yeah alright, should be fun" - "cool, lets eat pop tarts"

Glad to hear you and the misses can come, of course she is welcome!

 

[go!]
