Out - I'm already in Jersey warming it up for Vinnie

Count me in.

Vinny -- get the bike running yet?

Road it for the first time in 2 months this weekend... I forgot that motorcycles are fun!


I guess you can count me in too.

Tim- are you down in LBI?  I hope you have a great time "down the shore"

I'm game.  Thx for setting this up, DTM.

This sounds like a lot of fun!  Mrs.152 and I may ride over for a bit - anywhere in SJ shouldn't be too far of a ride.  I haven't met too many people on here in person and I am pretty quiet at parties but I always love learning new tech stuff.

Specifically, I want to get rid of that airbox and radiator shroud on my 696 but I'm nervous I'm going to screw something up and get stuck not riding for a few days.

Sending PM.

Error between seat and handlebars.

Id say to pick up everything you need and ask questions in the tech forum, come ready with the "what to do" and we can probably get someone to help you do it. Just mention beer and a sawzall and you'll get some volunteers.

got a new batt and voltage regulator.  if this battery dies too then it isn't really "fixed".  hoping it isn't the stator...  fingers crossed for now.

DQ and I are in, assuming he doesn't get a work deluge. So sad to see Vinny heading to the Garbage State!

Beer and Sawzall - so much different from when I owned my old CB550. The magic words there were duct tape and bailing wire.
