Uncle Punk Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I wasn't thinking about a fliendly ride either...Sorry for the premature post, when I mentioned the plan I had for riding Sunday I was informed of a previous commitment that I was told about but didn't hear. Sunday is out we gotta take grandma grocery shopping. Jinx will be disappointed to hear he missed a ride he didn't even know about. This does leave Saturday open for me though. What's this core ride? I am not quite comfortable with the new bike yet and don't want to ride after dark can I follow the group for a while? Tony, do you have your break in miles done yet?

gixxie750 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'm highly considering it if I can get all the work done it needs before I leave on friday, if so you will be the first to know since I don't know any good places to ride down there. I lived in Clifton and Hyde Park and never ventured far outta those areaswe are doing twisties at 1:30. PM me and we can work it out..

Uncle Punk Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yep, I'm done babying it. So 'game on' on Saturday.Your ride or a CORE ride? Leaving from Bolivar? Might want to tag along for a while, I want to be home before dark which is around 5:00 PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Your ride or a CORE ride? Leaving from Bolivar? Might want to tag along for a while, I want to be home before dark which is around 5:00 PM.Tod,Yep Bolivar. CORE rides tend to start early so we can be back at a reasonable time. We'll be back before dark. The pace will be similiar to the few times we've ridden, perhaps a bit quicker depending on who's leading. Stops are usually kept to a minimum, so a long day doesn't turn into a REALLY long day. Still finalizing the plan, but it will a 400-ish mile day, prolly meeting in Bolivar at 9:30.

Uncle Punk Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 9:30 is good for me, I'm still not comfortable with the new bike but I might be able to handle a faster pace. I can always go on my own way if I can't keep up. Is the ride going to WV? I don't know that area too well to be out on my own but I do know where I'm at in the southern Ohio area. I will have my GPS so I can use it to get to roads I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about WV, we can decide on a route in Bolivar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpoppa Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 How do you like the suspension settings in the manual?The front preload feels a little too stiff, but it's hard to tell for sure since I haven't ridden it on a warm day yet. I'm hoping to sort it out on Saturday. It would be nice to set the Sag before then.BTW, it you haven't verified that you have the most current flash, I have the software/cable to read the firmware version.

So I would imagine the firmware is not current. The Buell is going to be down for a while and hopefully as the winter progresses I will have some cool pics to share with everyone.
