Thinking about going for a decent ride on Saturday. Anybody interested? We could pick up where we started off last year with some coffee/food and meet somewhere beforehand. And if schwanger is coming, he'll have to bring the maps [moto]
Is the mrs. on her own or is she going to ride cupcake?
how about something like

Looks good to me. We may have to fight with a lot of bikes because the flood run is on Saturday. Oh and greasy bar food would be fantastic for lunch. [bacon]
That looks good to me as well.
I'll be riding solo on Saturday, amber has msf classes on Saturday morning.

I appreciate the fact that you assume I'll be there :) Sadly, I have to go learn how to ride and not fall over on Saturday [thumbsup]
Have fun!!

Your kind of a fixture on the group rides, if Jake's there...so are you. Have fun with MSF, and get that first fall out of the way while you're there...because it's not your bike. [thumbsup]
I'm going to assume that's a compliment ;D If not, don't ruin my fun.
I kind of already got the first fall out of the way...and the second...
So are we doing this? Where do we wanna meet up? Time?
I'll come. I think there's a more interesting route to get down to the welch road. I've done it before but don't quite remember. It looks good either way though.
I could meet up with you Jake before we meet up with anyone else.
Amber you going to Century College for your msf? That's where I did it. It's a good program.
Yep, I'm going to Century:)
Let's do it. How does everyone feel about meeting at Bob's Java Hut in Uptown?
2651 South Lyndale Avenue, Minneapolis, M.N.‎
Bobs would work for me.
Mark we could meet at my place and head down there together if you want.
What time do you guys wanna meet at bobs?
I may be riding the 600. Went to start the s4r this morning to go to work and my make the beast with two backsing engine immediately went to redline. Throttle isn't stuck, no idea what's going on. Hopefully will get it sorted tonight. Didn't have time to dig into it this morning.
Alright 9:00 AM at Bobs Java Hut.
9:00 it is. Mark, do you wanna meet at my place about 8:30?
Oh and I think the road you're thinking of is stagecoach. That road would be nice if it wasn't full of potholes and tar snakes. :-\
I am in. I'll see you at Bob's.
Dang first ride of the season and i have to miss it :(. We best have more of theses this year [thumbsup]
If Mo can't go I won't go either.
Actually, S4R is down in Winona.

Ride the Fatboy...we don't discriminate.
Cmon John, take the fatboy, it'll be fun. Or you can take the 1198s and we can trade when you get sore ;D
9? :-\ alright if we must... :)
I don't know exactly where you live Jake. Maybe you can give me a call in the morning? 734-5957
Hey mark, tried calling you, no answer. My address is 3701 van dyke st wbl. If you take white bear ave towards cr e, turn left two blocks before e on ronald and I'm the second house on left. Red house with red garage. If you need better directions my number is 218-380-0112
Dang, sorry I missed this.
I'll hopefully be there next time.
Are we going to do bi-weekly rides again this year?
I think we should. That would work well cause this weekend looks rainy :(
So we might as well turn this into the bi-weekly Saturday ride.
Who wants to make the route for this weekend? Where do ya want to meet up?
Amber is having a garage sale Saturday morning so I need something to do [moto]
I have friends coming into town sometime on Saturday, but I might be able to make a shorter ride or something early.
What are you thinking?
I'm up for a ride also. Short or long, don't matter to me
Aite so I can't make a long ride. Need to be back by 2. :(
Jake suggested we do this ;D

ya it is long and a lot of fun. We can def shorten it, don't have to ride that exact route.
Ok, so Mo and I are meeting at bobs at 9:30 tomorrow morning. Everybody is welcome to join [moto]
That is a really long route. It looks like fun but there's no way I am going to be able to make it for 1/2 that distance. :)
Seriously though, my friends are going to hang out in the afternoon, so I don't really have much time. I'll try and meet you at Bob's if I am able... no need to wait for me though. :)

I think last time we were done by 3. U can bail at any point u like. We may not even ride the whole thing. Just come, it'll be fun. I wish one if the "older" guys would show up to lead the group, I really suck at following routes :)
Me too, it's always nice when the old farts haul their tired asses out.

so does that mean ur joining us [evil]
Had fun today with you guys. Too bad I had to leave just as the riding was getting really good.
Hopefully the S4R stopped leaking oil. :)
It did, thankfully.
However, I now have a different (worse) problem
joh and mo, remember looking at my tire and trying to figure out that noise? Well those were my Cush drives backing out. And eating away at my eccentric (the metal shavings everywhere that you noticed John). So now I've got to take off my sprocket which I can't do until Monday until my chain adjuster comes and replace them. Going to get a different carrier with the tabs that will keep that from happening again as well. :-\
at least it didn't eat through to the swingarm. I think my eccentric is still ok too, we could still adjust the chain at your place John.
Also found some Cush drives, new in the package, on craigslist in Denver for $50.
As long as I can still adjust my chain, is my eccentric ok? Any other damage that might of happened that I should look for?
Oh yeah, other than that the ride today was great! Andy you took off right before the good stuff. Could of been a little less windy though.
Jake,
Let me know when you have it apart. I would like to see the dissassembly.
Will do. Should have it all apart tonight. Will depend when my parts come in before I can put it all back together. But if you just want to see it all apart it, I'll probably be doing it tonight after notte.
Anyone want to ride on Saturday? Short, long, morning, afternoon, whatever works. I'm free all day.
I'm riding to malmo and back.
Really? That's up near my neck of the woods. Riding around Mille lacs? Who you going with? It's a nice ride up there...
A cousin is graduating up there. Riding up eating some potato salad riding back.
So you are from the malmo neighborhood?
Lol nice. About 30 miles east of malmo. Moose lake/ sturgeon lake area.
