Southern Ontario Riders

Road trip !!!

ossjughead (Jim) is having a BBQ at his home on May 9th.(Ottawa area) He has extended an invitation to SOXS to attend. There will be members from Ontario and the US attending. This would be a great chance for everyone to get aquainted before the XS North Barry's Bay Rally. If anyone is interested, maybe we could head up as a group, even if we have to do the cage thing.
That's all the details I have for now. Check your schedules. Thx Rick

Must mean everyone is either out in the garage fixing OR out riding...

I know I put on 2,000kms this past weekend. Even stopped and had lunch with MartyA

How was your day?

Good thing we didn't schedule something. Now it's thunderstorms all weekend.
Made some carb changes to the Hot Rod and did two dyno pulls this morning in Brantford. No clutch slip and the mixture was dead on and the torque curve on these bikes never ceases to amaze me. 3500-7000rpm almost straight up.(slight exageration).
Let the Hot Rod pick the route home and turned a 30min trip into a 3 hour tour on roads I didn't know were there. Lots of wrist twisting, A very good day indeed. Rick

So many roads and too little time

Priorities Phil, A man has to have priorities.No one ever sits in a nursing home saying I wished I had worked more. I hope what you are doing is fun. When your ready, us retards have saved a spot for you at the head table Rick

Supposed to be a great weekend coming up. Temps in the 20c + area with lots of sunshine. Anyone up for a day run someplace? Everyone, especially Phil, check your schedules. Tinman did your get your bike fixed? It would be good to see Hamjam and the Buick out as well. Thx Rick

That old familiar feeling

One of the hazzards and interesting parts of riding a 30 yr old motorcycle. I know what you mean. I'm pulling my carbs tomorrow(my favorite) to fix a lean condition. Hopefully back on the road for thursday when the weather gets nice again. Good luck, Rick

Hey Tinman, Looks like it's just you and me for now. I was looking on google maps and a little town of Rockwood is a central point between us. If you still want to ride we could meet up there Saturday morning and strike out from there. I'm open to ideas. Rick

Hey Rick it's a good thing I was too busy to ride this weekend . When I finally manage to go for a ride my #3 plug seemed to crap out on me . I was just down the road and manged to get it home . Hopefully I will have it up and running for the weekend.

Hi Rick I anly have you 289 number and will cal to morrow.

I had an excellent ride. I've been feeling like a wet dish rag since I got home. Totally relaxed. A little cooler near lake Erie but still nice. Had another bike following me for about 100kms. We stopped and had coffee in Jordan Valley. The bike ran great and the clutch mod works fine.
A lot of bikers must have been too ill to go to work today. More bikes than cars on the roads.
I haven't been to the Point for about five years. As I recall there were some good eats in Leamington"The Tomato Capital Of The World". (The giant tomato cracks me up every time). Let me check my schedule....mmm..I'm available for that trip whenever everyone else is.
Give me a call tomorrow if the coffee thing works out for you. Glad to hear you got some saddle time in today, possibility of some flurries next week. Rick
