Author Message   Chasten Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - 09:51 pm:        is anyone available for Friday rides? i have the little one in daycare on Fridays... it would be nice to have a few good mountain rides before it gets too cold / snowy. weekday rides seem to be a lot better in the way of avoiding LEOs and bicyclists....   J2blue Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - 10:05 pm:        I may be able to. I need to get my bike registered in Colorado tomorrow and if that goes without a hitch I'd be able to ride on Friday. I live in Canon City.   Chasten Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - 10:35 pm:        sorry, J2... i guess i should have specified. i live in SW Denver area. it would be a pretty long ride just to get TO Canon City. the rides i had in mind would be front-range-area, not terribly far from Denver.   J2blue Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - 10:53 pm:        I was just checking out Highway 67 on Google Maps. I didn't think you could make it down this way. I may be able to make it up there is you want to try 67 out. Let me know.   F_skinner Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 09:51 am:        Jody, make sure you get a VIN verification inspection first (since your bought it out of state). Also, depending on the state, the title may need to be notarized. I found this out the hard way last week when I tried, without any luck, to register the 95 S2. I sent the title back to the original owner to have it notarized..... Frank   Chasten Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 11:43 am:        J2 - did you get the bike registered? is this ride contingent on success in that venture? that's funny you mentioned hwy67... i have not explored about half of it (because it is DIRT). the half that i HAVE explored is pretty awesome. if you really want to make the trip North, i think it would be great to meet up. if you don't want to go ALL the way North, we could even meet in Deckers or something.... anyway, let me know. i have many other awesome route ideas off of / near 67.

I plan to get the tag in a little bit. No problems in a small town with such things, usually. I wish that dirt section of 67 would be paved! I think it would be easy to meet in Deckers as long as it isn't early morning. I'll probably come up through Florissant to get there. Jason, I'll pm you with my phone number in a bit. Frank, do you have a day off coming to you to join us?   F_skinner Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 02:30 pm:        No, I will be working. Just about everyone else has a day off due to recent activity but I need to be in at 0500 and will work until I have my weekly 40 hours in around 1230. I am still hard at work on the 95 S2 but if you guys find yourself down Fountain way and want to stop for a beer or soda you are welcome to come by. The only thing I ask is you give me a call (719-200-4957) before hand so I can make sure I am home and not doing errands. I need to post some pictures but so far all I have done is removed the bodywork, headers, exhaust and some minor stuff in an effort to get a better assessment of what I need to do. So far I need to replace the following: tires wheel bearing speedo neck bearings isolator bolts all cables exhaust seals rebuild carb repair kick stand etc Actually not much and it would not take much time if I had all the parts...LOL Frank   Chasten Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 03:39 pm:        Jody - what time would you like to meet? if we meet up in Deckers, where would you like to ride from there? any ideas? if you come up there the way you suggested, how much farther do you really want to go (as you will have already been riding for what, like... three hours)?   Jumpinjewels Posted on Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 10:24 pm:        Dan and I are planning a ride on Sat (it's suppose to be a beautiful day), possibly thru Evergreen to Echo Lake into Idaho Springs then up the new highway to the casinos (I never can remember the name), then Peak to Peak to Coal Creek Canon. If anyone will be around maybe we can meet up. And where are you JC?   Jcbikes Posted on Friday, September 19, 2008 - 03:25 pm:        Julie, Just got back last night from a hiking-camping trip to South central Utah. Gone almost a week. Would love to join you guys tomorrow but I have plans in the morning till around 11:30am or so. What time are you going to be up this way? John   Jumpinjewels Posted on Friday, September 19, 2008 - 05:56 pm:        Hi John, hope you had a great time on your trip. We'll probably set out from Castle around 0930-1000, of course, depending on weather. If's it later I'll try to let you know.   Jumpinjewels Posted on Saturday, September 20, 2008 - 10:51 am:        John, we're thinking of stopping in Idaho Springs for lunch. We're still going to try to leave CR between 930-1000. My cell # is 3-589-8150 if ya wanna try to get of hold of us. see ya   Jcbikes Posted on Saturday, September 20, 2008 - 02:33 pm:        Julie, Just got home at 12:30pm. Sorry could not meet you guys. Hope you had a good ride! Hope to see you soon on the Buell. John   Jumpinjewels Posted on Saturday, September 20, 2008 - 07:00 pm:        Hi John We just got back. did about 220 miles. We were going to do Shadow Mtn on the homeward bound trip but it started raining. so, did Turkey Creek back. Still got some rain but it wasn't bad. Got clipped by a deer on Turkey Creek, he fell down, got up, then crossed in front of Dan. It all happened so fast and I just kept on going. Dan saw it all happen. Glad I didn't get knocked off the bike. The Good Lord was with me. We're gonna try to go out again next wk, maybe we can hook up. Then we're off to Vegas. Julie   Jcbikes Posted on Sunday, September 21, 2008 - 09:29 am:        Julie, Glad all worked out with the deer. I have seen so many this summer. Sounds like a great ride. Let me know on next weekend plans and if I can join you guys, I will. John   F_skinner Posted on Sunday, September 21, 2008 - 09:00 pm:        Jody Lynn and I had a nice ride down South to West Cliff Colorado. I noticed the Royal Gorge train passes right by the gas station we always meet at. Frank In West Cliff there was another train from the old Rio Grande line. No rain but it looked like it might at any minute. We had some Sportbike riders come up on us and they were the most considerate riders I have run into in a while.   J2blue Posted on Sunday, September 21, 2008 - 11:36 pm:        Check that rear tire. Think I can get another 100 miles out of it?   Zac4mac Posted on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 - 10:09 am:        Just ride in tight circles, you still got tread on the sides. Sorry I've been absent here for a while. New work schedule, off on Thu and Fri, HC-HD is coming on as a sponsor soon. Sold my Shovelhead, wasn't riding her anymore, then Loretta went in the shop for a warranty cam replacement. At least I can take something out for a half-hour lunch ride when I get to Jonesing too much for wind. Max has her torn down, waiting for parts now. When she gets home, she gets a new set of sliders from Dark Horse and a Kick-Ash windscreen. Gotta get ready for work, it's my Friday!! Z   F_skinner Posted on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 - 11:44 am:        Zac, when you get the chance can you check the price and if you have in stock the following parts numbers: 34745-90 Inspection cover 25430-94A Primary cover Also, it is a great thing that you all are becoming a BadWeb sponsor. I assume you will have your own section under parts and service. Hopefully there will be a BadWeb discount in there somewhere. Keep us up to date on the status.. Frank   J2blue Posted on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 - 11:53 am:        Some people think I run in circles already! Happy ZacFriday!   Zac4mac Posted on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 - 10:47 pm:        Blake sent me some old banners and I talked to Bones about some current stuff. We'll be coming online in the next week or two. I'm pretty excited. We have a lot of old Buell stuff that needs going thru, then we can justify more new stuff. Saw Max today, he said he's gonna be doing a little OT because he doesn't like having a bike on the lift this long. Should have Loretta back real soon. BTW, anybody need an '02 Blast flyscreen? Later Z   J2blue Posted on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 - 11:15 pm:        What color is the flyscreen? Does it have fasteners with it? I've got an '06 Blast that I want to polish up a bit and then sell. My week is starting to get real busy getting everything ready for the Inside Pass at Vegas. Just a thought about a Buell(for the Badweb) interest story related to HC: Talk about the two Pikes Peak entries and how HC helped out the other dealer at the last minute. I'm also interested in the fork mods the Latus team made on the TT they got from you guys. (Message edited by j2blue on September 24, 2008)   Zac4mac Posted on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 04:03 am:        Midnight Black, no fasteners. I'll talk to Dave about that. He went to the race, I had to work Z   Maximum Posted on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 07:41 am:        Hey Zac, I would be interested in the blast screen. I haven't yet finished getting Sean's bike back together, but it looks like I will be going back to standard black...just don't want to spend the money right now for another custom blue "Shelby" paint job. Let me know.   J2blue Posted on Friday, September 26, 2008 - 01:51 pm:        If Zak doesn't take the fly screen for the Blast I will. And in other news, I got my tires today!   Jumpinjewels Posted on Friday, September 26, 2008 - 06:43 pm:        John, I'm not sure if we're going to get out for a long ride tomorrow. We have some prep's for our trip to Vegas and want to make sure we're up an running J2, glad you got your tires. you'll need them for the track.   Jcbikes Posted on Saturday, September 27, 2008 - 09:56 am:        Julie, Yesterday, I rode up Coal Creek Canyon to the peak to peak highway, then over to Central city and back thru Evergreen. Leaves are changing nicely. Have a safe and good trip to L.V. Maybe get together after your back. John   F_skinner Posted on Saturday, September 27, 2008 - 07:47 pm:        I got to watch Jody change his tires today before he heads to the track... New Shoes My bikes watched   J2blue Posted on Saturday, September 27, 2008 - 07:50 pm:        Your bikes were the best spectators I've ever encountered! Thanks again for your help Frank.
