Earache

Had some Woodcraft rearsets anodized black..

World's loudest and nastiest sounding pipe, the Zard...

CRG levers and mirrors attached to some bar ends that I whipped out on the lathe...

SpeedyMoto valve gear covers...

SpeedyMoto pressure plate and a vented half cover...

Slapped some sticky rubber on new Black Excel rims to replace the crappy silver OEM rims...

I've been working on my new Duc for about 4 months and it finally ready to roll for the first time tomorrow...

Got some cool fog shots when we rode at sun up one morning...

I took a billion stupid pictures, but I'll only post a couple here....

We were there on Thursday and Friday as well - might have ridden right past one another and not known it. Only saw rain for about 30 minutes one day and that was it.

The fire was out, but you could still smell it.

There were 8 of us in total;

1 - ST1100

1 - ST1300

1 - VFR800

2 - CBR600RR

1 - R1

1 - CBR1000

1 - GSXR 750

So we had a little bit of everything.

Just got back - it rained for 1/2 an hour on Saturday and that was it! Very dry, sunny and warm rest of the time. Will post somepics later.

SOrry you guys decided not to come along (yer all little nancy-boys), but things happen.

I'll post up any pictures that I take so you can feel bad for not going - or feel good about not going (depends on how much it rains).

Next time!

Earache and Patcbr600rr, thx! the deal is not finalized yet. I'll have to pm u. thx!!!

No problem - I travel to Columbus 2-3 times per month, so let me know.

I'll be there tomorrow night (okay, not on a bike and it's the wrong night. Gotta plan my trips to C-Bus a little bit better).

Thursday is gonna be sunny and 75-80F. Looks like a perfect day for riding. See you guys in Lexington!

I'll be here in the near future...like today.

I'll be in Columbus (Hilliard area) on Wednesday and could drop off pipes for you if needed. Where in Indy are the pipes and where in Ohio / Columbus are you?

That is exactly what I heard. I also heard he or she was ok so that is good and that it was a brand new gixxer. Woops!!!

Now watch the fire departemnt charge him/her for all of the time and equipment they used to put out the fire.

Did ya hear what started the fire? Some 'tard on a Gixxer crashed and it caught fire, resulting in the dry woods catching. Amazing.

You guys have a kick ass time and ride hard....Wish I could make it with you guys sucks I have to work next weekend..

I head down there 7-8 times per summer and always post up before I go - you can make the next trip!

Looks like the final count will be four guys from Chicago and two from Indy. We're all going to ride the entire way. Chicago guys are leaving at 4:00 AM to make it to Lexington by 1:00 PM. Can't say I'm jealous of that boring assed ride at all.

Just a week away. Pray for dry weather!!!

If we ride all the way to Highlands, NC - which I'd like to do - Greenville is just a little bit past that. You could continue on to there and then meet us later that night for beers, etc.

thanks for the info. but just put the order in for a new set, the tires are getting here monday and i am going to slap the on tues, ride on them for a while and then im good to go.

oh btw i may split away from the group on sat. for a while i have some friends that live about 2 hours away and i may pay them a visit. not 100% sure though.

Where do they live - what town?

And don't feel like you have to stay with the "group" - ride where , when and how fast you want to!

question, is there a place to get tires down there or am i going to have to buy them now. i just got back from ridding and i knew my rear was bad but its more on the lines of questionable now. i dont want to destroy a brand new set with three hours of highway ridding one way. im trying to minamize the damage of the middle of the tire.

There's a Honda dealer in ALcoa - about 2 miles from the hotel. Probably won't have the exact tire you want and it'll probably cost a bit more.

The weather isn't looking so promising, but as we all know it'll probably change. But right now they're calling for rain Friday and Saturday.

It was completely different a day or two ago. And it'll be completely different 2 or 3 more times before we go.

But if the day before we leave it shows 90% chance fo rain, we can cancel it if you want to.

It almost always says 30% chance down there. That small amount won't scare me off at all. But if it gets up over 80% then it's a different story.

Nice noise her head made -THUNK!
