I am going to go out for a short ride later but I have to work most of the day. Probably just going to run a big loop through Delano, Buffalo, Monticello and back to St Michael. Nothing special.

 

I want to get out,

 

Anybody else have today (11-03) off work? I will be out riding most of the day. 70 degres+

Happy November


Mike

 

All you people that work sure missed out on a great day of riding!!!


I only put on about 100 miles but I sure enjoyed the 75 deg. November day.


Mike

 

It was indeed nice today. I got out for a little while after work but it was dark then. Still really nice riding. Looks to be the last of them though.

 

Looks like another great day, Can anyone come out & play?


Temps drop after today & the weather people are talking snow flakes again by weeks end

 

I rode to work yesterday and thought about seeing if you wanted to ride home with me, Mike... but didn't think you'd be up for the ride to Dassel.

I, too, enjoyed the weather, but, man it get's dark early now... I wore my dark shield and it was a bit sketchy from a visibility standpoint at about 5:30. Ihad some fun with a guy on a Honda CBR all the way home -- I think he was pretty surprised to see my taillights from the stop light in Rockford. By the time he caught me, I ducked in front of a dump truck as the 2-lane ended. He had to brake HARDand he never had the chance to pass me

It's gonna suck puttin' it away soon...

 

How bout invent chains for bike tires? Can you imagine?

 

why did I know it would get nice after I put it away?

So where is that group shot from last week, did anyone get it yet? Post it up!

 

I got the photo a couple of days ago, but it is a really small .bmp. I emailed the guy, and asked him if he had a larger .jpg. Hopefully I will have something soon, or I'll post the little pic.

 

Sorry... keep forgetting to download from my phone. I'll try to remember tonight.


I'm not sure how good it will be...

 

OK... I've got a couple photos, but they're not great -- camera phone...


I'm not re-learning the f'ed up picture upload process with this new site format, but if you want 'em, feel free to email me. I'm on Chuck's list.

 

I officially put her away for the season. I think i got over 6000 miles since march, when i picked her up. I finished off the season with a 60 mile ride up I35 in 30 degree weather and snow flakes.

 

Yeah... Iwa shoping for one more ride to burn down to my reserve and leave the tank empty for removal... but it's not looking good to get out anytime soon. I think I'll give it another week or so and hope for a temp spike

 

ROTRHED, unless the bike is being stored in a heated garage I would store it with a full tank of gas so you don't get moisture in the tank and then rust. Just what I do and from what I've heard.

 

Yeah, that's what I usually do, but I'll have it off almost all winter and will keep it inside. I'm installing dry breaks and doing some other work. The tank is a PITA to get off of the liner

. I took it off almost full last winter and it sucked -- should be MUCH easier empty.


If you think taking the tank off the Warrior is a hassle, I should let you come try mine. LOL


Yamaha went with cheaper and almost useless plastic fuel breaks that are almost impossible to get to (need to take off the left side cover with the "special" torx head) and the fuel breaks screw shut. Plus the wiring, etc. to the instruments on the tank. It's a BUMMER. The new fuel breaks I got will help, but still a hassle...


End of rant...

 

Sucks to hear about all the cheap stuff. So what do you all plan on doing to it this winter?

 

On the short list:


new dry breaks


stainless throttle cables (mine discolored and need to be re-routed)


stainless brake cable (+2 over stock, which no one makes yet, so I either make my own or find someone with a manufactured set)


Extra clutch spring


Legends forward controls (I can't get used to floorboards) (also means I have to re-locate some stuff)


And probably chrome the wheels and go 240 on the rear (if I do that, I want to make the stock bags "quick release", which means some fender work and maybe re-painting if I do too much damage)


It's a long winter... lots to do

How about you (any everyone else)... what do you have planned???

 

I don't really have anything planned, I'm married now I'm not allowed to spend anymore money on the bike!


I have to relocate the coils and install my PCIII that I've had for about 2 years and never installed. I'd like to chop my rear fender some to.

 

Anyone got any plans to watch the Lesnar fight this weekend?

 

There maybe some roseville plans....90"'s

 

Closed for the winter…
