Dangit.. missed the PORK run today. Did anyone go? Anyone interested in making the toy run on the 20th? As far as I know this is a "dealer" event and not really HOG related. We used to do this with the Marines every year back East. I am up for it if anyone else would like to go. Nick |

Everyone: Speaking of the ride the 13th, we're meeting at Henderson Harley then cruising over to Bally's if I'm not mistaken? And what time are we meeting at Henderson? And what's the deal with like Harley involvement? I remember somebody saying they wanted us to park out front to show that people actually ride them but what's up with that? I'm full of questions, in typing mode cuz I'm doing papers right now! |

Dan: The dealer actually made that request of the group when we started negotiating for them to sponsor the Brag Club. She asked if we would be interested in riding over as a group in order to promote the Brag Chapter. The problem is now that they haven't gotten all their sheite together. I am going over tomorrow to ask the questions about the "reserved" parking and what exactly they expect us to do. Again, it is also a marketing gimmick for them. They sponsor the group, we help them sell Buells. Here till 4am, Nick |

Damn, Good to see new people on the boards. New folks are always welcome. Man, not having internet during the weekend sucks. S1rich and sandblast, are you interested in joining BRAG with us? If so, let us know so that I can send you guys a contact form. This form will have all our PH#'s in case anything should happen to arise needing any of our help. We also hang out on http://buell.meetup.com/4/. Not much, but all of us check out the new posts there. Vegasbueller is the organizer for that site. Guys, any of you going to the next Sin City meetup? Let me know. It's tomorrow. (Message edited by JOHN89147 on November 08, 2004) |

Hey guys! Mark set up this place on Yahoo for us to use as well: http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/desertbuellers/ I also posted some pictures on there from our trip last week. Perhaps we can get all this up to speed and maybe drop the Meetup board or at least somehow make it permenantly link here or the Yahoo board? Any comments or ideas?? Nick |

Anybody know of a place that sells individual carb jets and those little tiny washers to shim a carb needle? I need to rejet (again) *sigh* cuz the new pipe is making the bike lean like a supermodel. Any ideas? |

I'm sure I have some washers lying around you can have. Let me know if you want them and I will look for them Dynojet off of Craig and Loosee, has jets, washers, or a complete jet kit. Of course if you bought a jet kit you could probably get a better price at a local shop, as Dynojet only sells at retail pricing to protect their dealers. I think there number is, 800-992-4993 mike |

Check out American Sport Bike, or maybe Crossroads Performance. They have a lot of stuff for Buell Carbs and pretty much everything else. The phone # for AmericanSportBike is 760-727-2333 Do you know what size you have, I have a bunch of old but good jets from a shop I used to work at. VegasBueller and Jacob have my #, Plus I'll keep checking on this page. |

I need 45/175 jets, and a little bitty washer like .01 inch. I'll go by Dynojet tomorrow, it's right next to school. I don't want a whole jet kit cuz I'm pretty much broke, hahaha. Plus I need the bike done so it's ready for Saturday, I've already ridden it lean one day and I don't know how bad it is for the bike, but no reason to take chances right? |

Nick, Went and talked to Dawn yesterday. She seems real cool. She should be giving me a call sometime this week for that interview. I got a look at the "Bible" yesterday. There is some real cool stuff in it. It has ways of how to raise money for he club as well as the bylaws for starting a website associated with BRAG. Everyone signed up with BRAG already? How long till you receive your official stuff? I'm impatient as it is, but this is driving me crazy. See ya'll Saturday. You guys wanna get together for breakfast? Let me know. See ya........ |

Owen: Where is Jake? Has he gone Stealth on us? John: Took me about three weeks to get all my goodies from Brag. I cant wait to see the book! Maybe we can get copies made of it? I am up for doing breakfast. Any suggestions? The McD's? Or?? I'll get my interview done sometime next week as well. See you guys tomorrow, I am headed to Reno tonight to fix a broke plane. I'll be back tomorrow morning. Have a great one! (I am going to spend Friday polishing the bike I think!) Nick |

Nick I am still hear. Have not been on the comp in 3 days. I will call Dawn Thursday to set up my app. Been doing some long hours and I also had drill this last weekend. Still trying to get a tire for the baby also. Damm my list just keeps growing. If all goes well I will be there on Sat. To all the new names welcome. You are welcome to ride with us any time you want. Are we going to meetup at McD's Sat night and do some riding and club stuff? Or do we want to just do it in the morning? |

Hey guys, There is a new name on the Meetup boards. Nick, Do that thing you do and contact him. His name is Kenneth. Since you are the organizer, only you can e-mail him. I'll leave a message on the boards about this site. See you guys Saturday. Jake, Give me a call. I think I have a solution to your tire problem. Hopefully. |

Dan, Not sure about Thursday. With all that is happening this weekend, I will more than likely just stick with being gone all day Saturday and maybe meeting up again Sat. night for a while. ..unless you are going early on Thursday?? Jake: Glad to see ya buddy! Hope all is well on the homefront! Let me know what's shaking with the tire situation. I am sure between all of us here, we could wrangle up a tire somewhere. See yas later, Nick |
