Author Message   U4euh Posted on Thursday, March 08, 2007 - 03:09 pm:        Kristi-ride in May can be at my house again, does not bother me, in fact I would enjoy it, that is if nothing else pans out. Yes the Mapquest directions take you to where we ran into each other last year. They will will work, but outta the way, more time and not to mention the road gets kinda goat 'trail-ish'!! Out of TWO make a left drive to Laurel Canyon and make a left, no stop sign going in that direction though. I 'll watch my video and see if I can make out anything that would help!! Anybody know what a 05 or 2006 1200 Sportster would be worth? 1100 miles, phaseIII kit, screaming eagle pipes, backrest, better seat, and small windshield??!!! Found one that I may not be able to pass up if I can raise the money!!   Sportymark Posted on Thursday, March 08, 2007 - 04:29 pm:        I have seen the 04 up sportsters going cheap, like 5-7K but then again i have seen them with people asking 10+ still trying to get used to a sportster that has a rubber mounted engine. But go for it! Love me a sporty!   Blublak Posted on Thursday, March 08, 2007 - 08:11 pm:        Hey Folks.. Stopping in from the MD, VA, DC 'front'.. I've opened a thread there for the Buell Track day at VIR. Are any of you folkses planning on attending? Stop in and sound off.. I'd like to see if we can get a good group so there will be some hint they should keep it up..   U4euh Posted on Friday, March 09, 2007 - 03:00 pm:        Hey Blu, just looked Should be booking my day on Monday! Sounds cool and a great price.   Rubberdown Posted on Friday, March 09, 2007 - 03:58 pm:        I'm registered for the 9-12 track day at VIR. Can't wait! This is a great opportunity to have some fun. Everybody should register.   Spike Posted on Friday, March 09, 2007 - 08:15 pm:        Man, the guys at Buell are trying to get me in trouble. My wife and I had almost paid off all our debt (excluding the house, of course) and then I get this email from Buell about their new track days. $150 for VIR full is a great price, throw in free photos (I paid $75 for pictures of my last event), catered lunch, a t-shirt, and some other goodies and it's a steal. I can't quite sign up just yet, but I'm going to try to make it to the 9/12 event. 1313- I had almost forgot about those parts. No idea when we'll get a chance to meet up now that we don't have Brag meetings anymore. Maybe it would be easier just to ship them. Let me know how you want to work it out.   Ulywife Posted on Friday, March 09, 2007 - 09:37 pm:        JimR - C3 Jr. at your house sounds good. Lets work on a date and we'll post a thread. Jean gave me specific directions from 60/180....7 miles to the white Church sign, turn right, left into the road/driveways to the cabins!   Jlnance Posted on Friday, March 09, 2007 - 09:49 pm:        We have a date I think, May 12.   Blublak Posted on Friday, March 09, 2007 - 09:53 pm:        Coolness.. Looks like we're gonna have a good group forming up for VIR! I think this whole day is just gonna rock! Now, if only we could get it to come sooner.. or better yet, a few more dates!   Ulywife Posted on Friday, March 09, 2007 - 10:51 pm:        JimR - May 12th work for you?? Any thoughts for this year? Is Morrow Mountain in the plan again?   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, March 10, 2007 - 06:24 am:        Blublak - Good to have you posting in Carolina Corner Carvers what type of gear is required for this? Is it full leathers?   Xbjelly9s Posted on Saturday, March 10, 2007 - 12:36 pm:        Any C3ers good with the vdst software wanna go for a ride and show me how to reset my tps? I cant get it to connect with my ecm either. Almost tossed my computer last night   Twig Posted on Saturday, March 10, 2007 - 02:05 pm:        I suggest that you give Kevin Drummer a call. More than likely he can help you out. 3 hour inspection? yep...Went to crank the bike up to go three blocks for an inspection... nothing but a speedy click. GD! Drive to HD of Greensboro for a battery, they send me to High Point. $81WoW! I get to the tire store and the rear tire just passes. The tech was a Harley guy and loved the Buell, told me he will mount and balance my tires next week for $20 . He spent about 45 minutes taking the old sticker off the fork, making sure he didn't scratch it up. New sticker is under the pasta strainer on a plate.See you guys soon. I'm ready to get the hell outta here for awhile!   Flynuly Posted on Saturday, March 10, 2007 - 04:11 pm:        Anybody need anything from Appleton HD? I will be in Oshkosh WI this next week so if you would like me to hand carry something back just shout out or PM me. You can have it delivered 1st class via Delta at 11:30 pm Friday night or anytime Saturday. Tim   Rubberdown Posted on Saturday, March 10, 2007 - 05:06 pm:        What a great day to ride!!! Got to ride a few different bikes too. 2007 Triumph Tiger 1050: Very nice, Killer engine! Very comfortable! Controls need to fit me better. 2007 BMW 800S: Sweet ride. Light, nimble, and very smooth. 2007 BMW R1200R: Nice but didn't really push my buttons. BEST BRAKES I'VE EVER USED ON A BIKE though. Leg ergos didn't really work for me. Sat on the most beautiful bike I have ever seen. Pure unadulterated lust! Red and White 2007 Ducati Sport 1000. I will have one, someday. Rode the HP2 home about 125 miles through the twisties with the motard set up and kept grinning and thinking "this bike is me". Fun day.   Spectrum Posted on Saturday, March 10, 2007 - 06:08 pm:        Jeremy, I'm in Charlotte also and while not a VDST expert, I have done several TPS resets on my bike. Shoot me a PM.   Twig Posted on Saturday, March 10, 2007 - 06:23 pm:        Hi Mike ...so that's where you were. Please don't mention the Triumph again for awhile. I don't think my heart could take it. I've wanted one since I was 15, and I will be a proud owner of one in hopefully five years, or less. I did the ear candle treatment last Sunday, and it worked very well. My son Luke turned me on to it. Much better hearing on my part.   1313 Posted on Saturday, March 10, 2007 - 08:47 pm:        Tim (Flynuly), PM sent. 1313   Spectrum Posted on Saturday, March 10, 2007 - 10:50 pm:        My little weekend project:   M2nc Posted on Saturday, March 10, 2007 - 11:48 pm:        I plan to due the track day 9/12. I plan to enter the novice class so I do not have to get leather gear. According to the rules no Cordura riding pants. What does that means? The Contis are not lasting. With 1600 miles on the rear and 4200 miles on the front, I do not have enough tread left to ride across state at the end of the month. So we are going to try out Webe's Nomar tire changer and switch the tires to the Pirelli Stradas I have in the barn.   Rubberdown Posted on Sunday, March 11, 2007 - 07:58 am:        I'm in the novice too. This will be fun. You don't want Cordura on the track anyway as it will not hold up to a long slide. I know this from experience (low side on the street). . (Message edited by rubberdown on March 11, 2007)   Jlnance Posted on Sunday, March 11, 2007 - 08:12 am:        What is condura?   Blublak Posted on Sunday, March 11, 2007 - 09:18 am:        Hey M2nc - From what I'm reading, it seems as though you CAN wear cordura (if that's what you have) but only in the novice group. Remember, they are most likely talking about solid stuff.. I don't know of anyone that let's you on the track in mesh. You may want to drop them a line and tell them what you have, that way they can tell you 'Yes' ahead of time and when you go through tech, there will be no doubt - you can have the proof that it's approved in hand (just in case). I'm kind of shocked that they allow chaps in the novice group. But then again, I think part of that is to get people hooked on track days .. so they want to go out and get proper gear to do more days.. kind of a vicious circle.. ya know?   1313 Posted on Sunday, March 11, 2007 - 12:47 pm:        Some pics my buddy Jeff (a couple of you know him) sent me from yesterday. Darren James: And my ex-co-worker, Walt Sipp: 1313   Jlnance Posted on Sunday, March 11, 2007 - 06:36 pm:        Just found this in the Daytona thread: If it were not for Lafayette and Justin, I think Olddog wold be still sitting in Daytona with a flat tire! How good do you have it when you can call up someone that you know from an online group of friends and say "I have a flat" to find them on your way with a truck and tools within an hour? Should be an interesting story.   M2nc Posted on Sunday, March 11, 2007 - 11:07 pm:        Ah who needs an XBRR It was a fun day riding in and around Jacksonville. Mad Moto Mike pulled off and took some pictures of the group riding on Old Maple Hill Rd. My front tire was cooked after the ride - so Webe came over and we tried out his Nomar Tire Changer. That is the ticket. We rigged the bike, took off the front tire, took the wheel to Mark's truck and changed out the tire. We are slow at it, but it was all done in the back yard, can't beat that.   U4euh Posted on Monday, March 12, 2007 - 12:29 am:        Kristi-That date is fine by me! I've scouting(read-riding to get lost), got a whole bunch of new roads, thinking maybe the indian mounds around the area, maybe a covered bridge, possibly the aircraft museum I found on memorial day, see thread in adv folder.   Ulywife Posted on Monday, March 12, 2007 - 01:11 am:        U4euh - you're on! I've started a C3 Jr. Ride thread on the Adventure folder. Who's in this year? I know Carlee and Carlos are in and looking forward to the 2nd annual C3 Jr. ride!   Nutsnbolt Posted on Monday, March 12, 2007 - 06:31 am:        Cordura is a synthetic fiber. Think Kevlar, but not as strong as Kevlar. It's got a sheen to it, so it is pretty tough and can take a beating, BUT... It WILL NOT hold up to a great track day slide. At all. But for anything else you may do... Cordura is the TICKET. Tour Master uses a lot of it. I have some Cordura, and I love it. But once in a while, Dead Cow is the way to go. Mark   Jlnance Posted on Monday, March 12, 2007 - 06:57 am:        Hmmm. I've got some first gear over pants. I've no idea if they are Condura or not. I looked at the rules, it appears that for Novice class they aren't too picky about what you wear.
