It was great day guys. I wish I had those types of roads by me I would be burning through tires so fast. I forgot to comment about one of the roads we went on after leaving the DD. It had a sharp rise mid way through a right hand turn. Yup front tire came off the ground while leaned over that puckered me up for a second. lots of fun though. |

Yup, good ride, thanks Greg! Great to have that many bikes out! Now why can't all of you guys make it out EVERY weekend? Unless you're married to Salma Hayek (mmm, Salma Hayek), you have no excuse! Punkid8888 = Puckerkid8888 Hah! Eric- Sorry the beast wasn't running right. I heard ya bitchin' about it whenever we'd pit, but then when I rode home next to you and actually heard it, it made me wanna cry! So how much did you pay to have the guy f#%k it up? I'll come by tonight with the bracket - count on it. Edger- Hardcore. I'm afraid my Uly will forever be on a pavement diet. JP- I'm definitely going to get some bar-end mirrors, so expect a CAD file of my concept for the handguard combo mount.. You guys got a lathe? OK, time to look like I'm working.

yup...I got a lathe and a bridgeport...competent on the lathe...bridgeport is somewhat sketchy but doable (just takes me more time to figure out offsets and tooling). Hey Greg...your a machinist...any bridgeport availability at your place? |

Yeah...a Bridgeport and small lathe.And i'm pretty good with both.With a lot of forethought i could write a program sometime using existing tooling/materialsize(up to 7/8")and run parts off on one of the Swiss type machines.Could be good for a lot of parts.But timing is VERY tough on a production CNC lathe. Nate,i lost your number,today is a good day to ride if you want.Be nice to ride Padenarum and faunce corner to old fall river road to sanford road.Let me know,i can come out.

JP- I'm probably just going sacrifice 1/2" of handlebar real estate and mount the bar-end mirrors on my bars, sliding the controls in a bit. I'll have to buy new grips (again) because the lefty will have to be cut off. But here's another one we can make: axle sliders. 1" round 6061 goes for $.38/inch. Machine that, tap it, throw in a threaded rod and you just saved $100.If you want to get fancy I guess you could machine the face convex, but they're there to get damaged. I'll get some dimensions off Eric's tonight. |

Yup, sliders were the next scheduled project...and I was planning on making several sets. The money saved is crazy!!! I talked to Eric about the face and while it is harder to do...the convex shape does make them work better - no edges to dig into the pavement with. Once I've got the measurements for the guts I'll put out a few sketch ideas and post them for input...they could be group trademark if I could figure out how to put the NEBO logo on them...oh yeah...we never picked one... Hey - lets get on that logo thing!!! |

Just missed you at the house, Eric. Hope the new (old) map worked out. Whenever we do my tires, I need to pull your sliders and get their dimensions. |

Eric- I would've been by sooner, but since everyone in the office is on vacation guess who gets to do all the work? I can get a ride in tomorrow AM, as well as some R&D on the sliders and my Diablos. And where the heck can I get the fittings & hoses for my breather? AutoZone is a joke unless you're into LED license plate frames... |

AutoZone should have nearly everything you are looking for. They have all sorts of bulk hose. |

So who's riding today? |

I might be...depends on climbing partners. If riding today after work I'd like to head up to Leominster/Princeton area - there's a small burger joint on 140 or 31 that has a bike night on Tuesdays...usually has a big crowd...I'll post by lunch if I'm riding or climbing... |

My climbing plans have been canceled so I'm definitely riding tonight. I can't remember the name of the place & I haven't been able to find a listing on-line either. Since I can't find that...I can't guaranty that tonight will be a bike night...it is possible they do theirs on thursday nights...it's been a year since I've been there...I just know where it is when I drive by. At the least there will be a ride and food. Anybody in? We could meet at my place or Sheldons and then head up... |

Still in. I think I can find my way back to your place. Or Sheldon's. |
