Author Message   Shred Posted on Monday, September 06, 2004 - 09:25 pm:        Glitch Pictures look nice I went up during the later part of the day friday and ended up at Road atlanta.Alex and I went on the old loop but he wanted to go up 348/Richard Russell from ALT/75 then 180north to cross over Hwy 129 back to 180 to 60 went all the way to the end for gas (Morganton)Ran into Brain H. GSXR750 (WERA) mad man rides with Joey and MOB Racing, other clubs as well.Yes we got it on going down 60 left Alex and his new R1 behind we stop 3 times.Buy the way yes Brain spanked pretty good,he tried to make me feel good by telling me that so far that week(his vacatoin)I gave his one of the better runs he'd had.What ever!!!!Stoped for alex on the first couples twisties.Had a few guys from FLA. on SV1000 under seat EXSH. and Rc51,GSXR1000 and a X1 lighting Red and chromed out!!!YES I did pass all but the SV1000 he wasn't going to let that happen.He was laughing with me when we pulled over.COOL!!!!!They were camped out about 10 or so camp sites from Crazed Ron.WILD MAN WILD!!!!Hope the one guy with the cam-corder said he'd get me a copy.We'll se what happens!!Did a rolling burn out from corner by the camp site all the way up the hill to the speed bump then back down swinging from side to side Atl. free style was their with some others.MR.Wheeie (Bill and Bill JR. from the demo ride last March.He was really cool as always helped with Petes bike (going to atemp' a tire changes station from a tree limb!!)Gave me and Rebecca drinks and food.ATM machine was down,gave me a 20,said just repay him some other time.The Buells sounded great!!!!All the races were just great!!!!   Along4theride Posted on Monday, September 06, 2004 - 09:40 pm:        Glitch those were great pictures. I'm sure you'll have some great ones when you come back from doing the Ridge Run. The generosity of Bill, the guy that popped the wheelie at the demo's was incredible at the races Sunday. I was really lucky to have run into him right before the 1st race Sunday. It was a pleasure hanging out with him and his father for the afternoon. He even helped Pete out with the Shade tree mechanics. Great guy!!   Tbs_stunta Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 09:32 am:        I agree with Glitch, since I couldn't afford all the races expenses I hit the Mountains with my Powerbook and did some work at TWO. Swung through Ellijay and checked out the shop where my Beemer is being worked on. Turns out the only damage is smashed bearings. The main wrench is a very cute girl who works on vintage bikes..yum! Turns out I know her husband from years back when he managed The Masquerade when our goth/industrial club night was there and I was Djing. Small azz world eh? Glitch, your first shot. When heading away from TWO isn't that the first hairpin on 180?

Where your bike is, is where I had a puckering moment last fall. It was wet and the whole section there, where the walkway is, was covered in leaves. Slick as owl shiznit!   Tbs_stunta Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 11:14 am:        Love that spot for photos. Had one of the Beemer accidentally turn out extremely well (it was foggy, the asphalt was wet, autmun leaves, and on a lark I turned the flash off) two or so years ago, so I pretty much re-shot it with my Triumph. PS. Very happy my bike is so photogenic. (Message edited by TBS_Stunta on September 07, 2004)   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 11:32 am:        Next to bein' home North Georgia will do just fine.   Tbs_stunta Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 12:16 pm:        >>Next to bein' home North Georgia will do just fine. You got that right.   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 12:38 pm:        Looks like we've been to the same photo spots.   Tbs_stunta Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 12:44 pm:        Haven't done any photo shoots there is a while, but yeah, very cool spot.   Torqer Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 01:23 pm:        It's the same spot as in your post... only down off the bridge. We were going to take one a the same spot but passed in the end/   Torqer Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 01:46 pm:          Thegovernor Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 03:06 pm:        Finally got the parts for my bike that I ordered two months ago. Had a good ride on Sunday passed Glitch on 60,then as I headed to 129 my bike started acting up. Torqer: same thing that I told you about, they said it was fixed but now it does it at low rpms as i come back onto the throttle bogs down real bad, but as long as the throttle is open it seems to be fine any ideas? Anyone   Black_sunshine Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 03:26 pm:        Governor..that looks bad as h@ll. how much did that run you? Very clean lookin'   Thegovernor Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 03:39 pm:        Thank You. It is the HSA tail and I got it through Trojan Horse. It was cheaper than the other option of just the tail section cut off of the stock piece. The only problem is that it comes kind of unfinished I got a guy at a local body shop to sand and paint it for $50   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 03:58 pm:        Thought that was you! Traffic was getting bad so I rode the back roads home. Spend half the day there, hope we get weather like that again soon. Tail looks extra nice! Before when you had the problem, what was the diagnosis? Might help to know.   Thegovernor Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 04:36 pm:        Glitch: I dont think they ever knew they said that it was the computer and that the throttle body was dirty. This has gone on for over three weeks now the dealer has had the bike twice now. First they pretty much said that I was an idiot and was riding in to high of a gear because they would ride it and it wouldnt do it for them. I picked the bike up it still did so I took it back and they had the bike for a week the mechanic rode it home and it started missing with him. I was told that "They knew what direction they were going in" in other words they didnt know, they told me it was the computer or the throttle body but they were positive it was fixed. It almost seems that they changed something that allows more fuel through because it used to do it throughout the rpm range and now it is only when I come back onto the throttle and it is fine as long as I am riding hard and not behind traffic. It is getting frustrating. After this Stone Mountain Buell has a new customer.   Shred Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 05:50 pm:        Governor that looks tight,smooth,and maybe a little bling but stealthy!!!!Glitch I remember the pictures.We need to ride more like the good old days!!!!HA!!HA!!!   Shred Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 05:57 pm:        ANYONE AND EVERYONE I THINK WE NEED TO GET TOGETHER .OCT.9th Sportbike day is right around the corner!!!Bring us all updates on events and stuff.Also the Ridge Run!!!!How about thursday at the Vortex????WE need more fliers!!!   Tripper Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 06:34 pm:        quote: Next to bein' home North Georgia will do just fine. u suck. i hate you. am i banned yet? Here' a picture of the roads I get to ride in Kansas.   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 08:27 pm:        u suck. i hate you. Com'on Dave, ride the ridge with us! Ya know ya wanna! If ya can't make it, just check out all the pics I post when I get back...   Odie Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 10:11 pm:        Shred, what's going on October 9th?? Might have to make a trip up from Alabama.............   Along4theride Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - 11:38 pm:        Oct. 9th Sportbike Appreciation Day at Stone Mountain Harley Davidson-Buell Stunt Riders Pocketbike Races Dyno..... and a bunch of other bike related 'stuff' Might have to make a trip up from Alabama............. It'll be a good time!!!   Tripper Posted on Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - 01:41 am:        perfect.   Glitch Posted on Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - 05:53 am:          Torqer Posted on Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - 07:59 am:        Shred: I THINK WE NEED TO GET TOGETHER I agree. Everyone: We changed our meeting day to the first Thursday of the month... This past Thursday was the day we were all so excited about the FASTER movie that we forgot about it also being the first Thursday... our meeting day. Travis forgot and a couple of folks showed up to the dealership looking for us. oops! A little scheduling sna-foo. So, with the Sport bike appreciation day drawing nearer, we need to get together and catch each other up on how it's going and what still needs to be done. The date is getting closer and closer. With the excitement building about the ridge run I know I need help staying focused and a meeting would help. If we want to meet this Thursday... that is tomorrow. It may be too soon to spread the word. What does everyone think? And... Does anyone have a friend who owns a restaurant that serves beer in Gwinnett who would like to participate in our event? I got Budweiser to say they would give us several kegs of beer... we just need someone to serve it. Lonnie of Bubba Burgers serves beer sometimes, I wonder if he would be able to do it? Anyway... Some feedback please.   Glitch Posted on Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - 08:59 am:        Does anyone have a friend who owns a restaurant that serves beer in Gwinnett who would like to participate in our event? One already is. Wings Landing is one of our sponsors and they serve. The poster is ready. I just have to upload it to where everyone can get to it. I'll have a web address for it this afternoon. Two sizes 3X5 and 8.5X11. I can make a bigger one also, just need the dimensions.   Black_sunshine Posted on Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - 09:12 am:        I can meet tomorrow and it looks like some good weather for the Tex. Glitch...If the Wing place can't serve I have a patient that is a manager at J.R.'s Log House. Maybe, she could pull a few strings if need be. Governor..hope your comming out tomorrow I want to see your bike in person.   Along4theride Posted on Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - 09:32 am:        I guess we need to ask Wings Landing if they would want to put a couple taps out at our event and have one of their servers make tips all day??? So the proceeds from the beer- goes ummm..... to who???? The BRAG club right?? Now we need to buy cups and make sure we have taps for the kegs and buckets to put them on ice. How many Kegs did you get them to give you??? Are they bringing the Hummer, Bud Girls or anything?? T-shirts??? Lonnie can't sell beer, he doesn't have a license, what he does is he takes a 'donation' for the beer and that is how he gets around not having a license to sell it. I am working with the following to be at our event. AMA Membership booth Cycle News subscription booth Red Cross- donation booth (Message edited by along4theride on September 08, 2004)   Torqer Posted on Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - 09:41 am:        Glitch: Who is our contact at Wings Landing? We should call and see if they'd be interested in serving Budweiser's beer for tips. They would also need to get a one day event permit to do so. Shred: What about your pocket bike guys. We should get a list of names and numbers so we can pin them down. I know they've verbally committed to you... but, it may prove beneficial if they get a call from the dealer to thank them for their participation and to inform them of potential prizes. This may set it in stone in their minds. I would like to avoid someone waking-up, stretching and forgetting all about it. Gov: Bring the bike down for our next meeting and we'll see what can be done. Is tomorrow the right day? I'll make some calls today and try to get a feel for everyone's schedules.   Stealthxb Posted on Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - 09:44 am:        I can make it down 2morrow for a meeting. However, if we needed a little more time to get everyone involved, we could have it on Tuesday and then go down to ESPN Zone bike night and pass out some flyers to that crowd.
