    Ah yes, the "incident" reminds me of a time when I had a really neat, matched set of Samsonite bags for the Navy bike! Oh those were the days! Ha Ha!

    P.S. Sorry Harry

      I might live it down in a few years. At least I can hope

        Russ, Are you going to this? If you want to ride down together, I will lead so you don't have to worry about a repeat.

          With this crowd... I think that might just be wishful thinking... until someone else does something of similar nature and they have someone else to laugh at... I mean... with... laugh with...

              I think next time Harry follows me anywhere I will have to store my stuff in air bags instead of Samsonite bags, they just can't take his abuse! Ha Ha!

                We have faith in you. You'll soon come up with another reason to ditch us... AGAIN!!


                Any thoughts or plans on what the "Fixes" may be this year? I could probably blow up an XJ motor by then if ya wanna schedule that?

                We never have gotten into anyone's head. Prometheus tried to let us see what was in his, but alas... his shoulder spoiled that for us. If John wanted to wait, we could actually work on his for once. Replace the seals.. maybe lap the valves?

                Whatever it is.. if you show up to get your bike worked on.. then don't ever talk to anyone ever again like some people (*Cough.. Dale_1) it may look bad. lol.

                  Yea right. This time I have much more incentive. I have to collect on the check-the-bike-out-go-back-do-compression-test-make-him-squeal-on-the-price-pick-it-up-wait-on-you-to-come-get-it, deal.

                  Now the question is, do I fix the fork seal before I go, or wait for the group fix? Maybe a drive boot replacement?

                    Yeah.. just come up and do that while John and Kat buy the beer! lol.

                    I went out tonight looking for those footpegs I told you about.. but couldn't find them. Too many parts in too many places. I'm not a sick person like those guys down in Austin with CARPET in their imaculate garages. I'll look for them again later.

                        Lights we can do... but we don't have any dogs... so we'll just have to find another use for the rope...

                        Whatever breaks down on the way here? after that... I'm sure we'll figure out something...

                        Of this... we have little doubt...

                                Like it says on the homepage in fairly large letters....

                                Motorcyclists welcome here
                                Regardless of what you ride

                                I dont even know what a Connie is but I know there is room for all riders here. Just some of us are luckier and have XS11's.
