Author Message   Jlnance Posted on Friday, June 16, 2006 - 12:56 pm:        Just be gentle with the mare.   Jlnance Posted on Friday, June 16, 2006 - 04:29 pm:        A new toy arrived yesterday: Pressure sensing valve stem caps. If the pressure drops, the color changes to yellow, then red.   Rubberdown Posted on Friday, June 16, 2006 - 04:33 pm:        I've been drinking and getting surly 'cuz I didn't blow off work and go riding wit you.   Wes12185 Posted on Friday, June 16, 2006 - 06:50 pm:        hey C3ers, Just got an '03 XB9R early this week and found a link to hear somewhere. Anyone around raleigh go riding for no reason on a regular basis? I'm pretty new to the whole motorcycle thing and want to get some more miles under my belt. I think I remember seeing somewhere that someone liver near the kmart on western, thats like 5 minutes from my place off kaplan. Anyways, if anyone around checks this on a regular basis let me know, I think I'm going to go ride somewhere... not sure where to go in raleigh though where I won't get smushed by giant SUV's, so if anyone has tips and doesn't ride often lemme know that too :-P   Buellish Posted on Friday, June 16, 2006 - 06:50 pm:        "Bet Buellish wouldn't ride to Boone in October for a C3 adventure" Hmmmmm,that could be interesting.   Jlnance Posted on Friday, June 16, 2006 - 10:13 pm:        Wes! It's good to meet you! You're my neighbor. I live on Deboy St, which is the road that runs from the top of the Melborne Rd exit, over to Western Blvd. I know lots of good roads to ride on. Most of them are south of Raleigh. Come over some time and I'll show you. Free tomorrow morning?   Black_sunshine Posted on Friday, June 16, 2006 - 10:20 pm:        Brankin....Thought you might be interested in this tid bit of info: Rob Zombie and Godsmack are playing together her in Atlanta at the HiFi Buys Ampitheater. August 30th 8:00 Tickets go on sale tomorrow at noon with Ticketmaster. Me and a few of the 3%ers will be going.   Ulywife Posted on Friday, June 16, 2006 - 11:46 pm:        Wes - welcome to C3, glad you found us. We are a spread out group but try to get together and ride when possible. JimN (your neighbor) is a great guy, take him up on his offer to ride. Welcome aboard and keep an eye on C3 as a lot of new people have come in this week! Kristi   U4euh Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 01:06 pm:        Wes, welcome aboard! Jinance is a good guy, like Ulywife said, take him up on his offer. Look up through this thread and you'll see that he infact does like to 'ride for no reason'. Getting there is all the fun to this group. Course once your there it all fun too! Hope to meet ya soon. Glenn- what days are you going to the Smokeout? Been thinking about going myself. Brankin-if you're heading this way let us know.   Xb9ser Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 01:32 pm:        Jim its on friday and saterday only. I have to work that weekend but taking vac and leaveing at 3 on friday and 1 on saterday. hope to see you there.   Webesblastgirl Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 01:38 pm:        }A new toy arrived yesterday: cool Jim....i might like to have some of those, as I usually let air out instead of just "checking" the pressure ...would be helpful to someone like me....I hate to check them because I know I'll need to add air after "checking"...   Webesblastgirl Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 01:42 pm:        go ahead guys laugh... i know you want to   Wes12185 Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 04:06 pm:        hey, sorry about not responding earlier, I accidently dropped my bike last night when someone tried to occupy the same spot I was going to and broke off a peg(luckily it dropped gently so that was pretty much the extent of it, couldn't find a single scratch on the paint :-D), so I got to meet the people at ray price today. Seems like a pretty decent dealer. I should be free tomorrow evening after maybe 5 or 6, or if that doesn't work any time after 5 during the week would be great.   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 05:38 pm:        Hey Wes, Sorry about the drop. Sounds like you weren't moving very fast. You're ok yourself right? Those times sound great. Give me a call tomorrow afternoon and lets see if we are both free.   Wes12185 Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 06:44 pm:        yah, I'm fine, it was no big deal. Whats the best way to get in touch with you tomorrow?   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 06:53 pm:        Last night I sent my phone number to the email address you used when you set up your BadWeb account. Did you get it?   Wes12185 Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 07:23 pm:        ahh, sorry, I didnt realize thats how pm's worked and don't check my email nearly as often as I should. I found all the info though, hopefully we can meet up soon.   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 07:56 pm:        blastgirl - See if this URL works: http://tinyurl.com/ffk2d   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 07:57 pm:        Wes - I'm looking forward to it. Did Ray Price have your parts?   Wes12185 Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 08:08 pm:        they didn't have a stock peg in, and apparantly they can't move a back peg to the front while you wait, so the one dude they have that knows anything about buells managed to dig up a pair of 'high traction' pegs. Guess its my first mod.... He also said he was going to somewhere called deals gap next month, wonder if he ever visits this site, I think I saw that mentioned somewhere. I think he mentioned have a 9R or 12R, not sure which   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 08:35 pm:        You talked with Mike. Deals Gap is mountain pass with a famous road that runs from NC into TN. http://www.dealsgap.com/ It's a fun ride. I went for my first time on Thursday. I'll be going back.   M2nc Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 10:06 pm:        I wonder what weekend Michael is going to Deals Gap. I rode about thirty miles one Friday around here and that is all for a second weekend. I am starting to go into DTs due to the withdrawal from not being able to ride. Tomorrow I have drive the cage to the mountains and I hope I can handle seeing those roads and being in a 2-1/2 ton barge. Also: Happy Father's Day   Webethumpin Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 11:36 pm:        Happy Fathers Day to all that apply.C-3 and Bad-Web. Webe   1313 Posted on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 11:45 pm:        Glenn (Xb9ser), E-mail sent about an hour ago regarding Smoke Out. My plan is to leave early (for me) Friday a.m. Depending on the weather forecast I will either have fun or be bored to death. Good weather I will have fun (relatively) and take the 'backroads' through Fayetteville (cross country in other words) or if the weather is bad I will super slab it all the way there (bored to death option). U4euh, If I go through Fayetteville, I'm sure we can figure out someplace to meet up. As for the pressure indicating valve stem caps, I've been running them for approx. 5 years now. Since I bought them at an auto parts store I originally had 4 of each pressure (for tube framed Buell's the recommended tire pressure was 32 front, 36 rear). I used one 'set' on my S2 and sold 2 'sets' on ebay. This means I still have one 'set' that is not being used. If anyone is interested in them, let me know and I'm sure we can work something out - hell, I work on tube framed Buell's for dinner and beer... Again, they are 32 psi and 36 psi - perfect for tube framed twins, but I'm not sure about the tire pressures of those newer-fangled XB thingies. Today was a very BIG day! I was finally able to order the parts I need to get S2 #1313 back on the road to terrorize the twisties. The .020" over Thunderstorm pistons are obsolete, and Daves found a dealer in NJ that had one. Since I need 2, I was forced to go with Wiseco. I sure hope they work as well as the OE .010" over pistons that I have been running for over 71,000 miles (that you can still read the part numbers and the .010 designation on). This is the rear one here: Hopefully shortly after the Smoke Out I will receive a nice package of goodies on my doorstep. I will still have to figure out who will be boring out my cylinders, but this may be already decided. Just in case though, does anyone have any recommendations for cylinder boring? Black_sunshine, RZ and Godsmack together should really kick arse! Dang it! August 30th is a Wednesday. I'm sure that I don't have the vacation left to support that. What really SUCKS is the only date in NC is in Charlotte 8/31 which is about 5 hours away from where I 'live'. I noticed a while back that RZ will be in Wichita on July 9th. But what really, really sucks is that ain't gonna be the possibility that I was hoping it would be. 1313   Xb9ser Posted on Sunday, June 18, 2006 - 12:10 am:        U4ueh Brankin is staying on my coutch but if you want to stay also we will work some thing out. My daughter will be at her mothers.so I will have a bed open.   1313 Posted on Sunday, June 18, 2006 - 01:08 am:        From Friday's page on my desk calendar at work: Too bad it doesn't say Buell...Although it is only a small photoshop away... BTW, it doesn't get you out of a ticket (at least from my experiences). 1313   Ulywife Posted on Sunday, June 18, 2006 - 06:10 am:        Glenn - do you have floor space for Carlos for the Smokeout? If he doesn't get out of here next weekend on the bike, I think he may go crazy! Sounds like the party may be at your house.   Jlnance Posted on Sunday, June 18, 2006 - 06:13 am:        Brankin - Whats wrong with the S2? Or are you just enhancing it?   M2nc Posted on Sunday, June 18, 2006 - 06:31 am:        Jim N, Have you forgotten the lovely rust preventative that Brankin gave us on the way down to Daytona? Brankin - I can not take the whole day off Friday but can leave early to mid afternoon if you want to ride together. I plan to take the M2. It has been ignored for the last couple of weeks and I have been itching to take it out on a trip. It is also more Harleyish with its louder exhaust and single head light and all. I just need to change the fluids and filter and get a neat catch can like the one Dave put on it and I am ready to go.   M2nc Posted on Sunday, June 18, 2006 - 06:34 am:        Brankin - I will take the air pressure stem cap. I will have to get one for the Uly some where else. Jim N - Where did you say you got those?
