Weekly Sunday morning Jamba Juice ride

[DRKWNG]

Who's Harley are you working on?  One thing I have never understood about their bikes is their naming convention.  I mean, who the hell thought that crap up?  I will hold out on ever buying one until they come out with LMNOP model.

I'm working on my neighbor's bike (same guy that owns the Hypermotards).  You should see the sludge inside the caliper after we got the piston out. I'll take a picture. He had no brake fluid left in the master cylinder reservoir and, nothing but air would pump out of the caliper bleeder and nothing but mostly water remaining in the caliper. Uuugh.

Good ride today guys. When I got home I accused Tori of calling the cops on us  .  Of course she denied it but thinks that one of the community association officers might have called it in. Those two guys in the pick up next to the white duallie were from the association.  It seems he thought that there was one, and one group only, that races the road.  She assured him that there were several different groups and that she has seen all the different groups (he just hears them go by).  She also told him that if there were any Ducati's in the group then they are definitely not the racer types.     Good girl    ----- I also didn't notice that my wife drove by us (must have had my back turned to the road when she went by) -- caught a little grief for that but not bad.

How about the Police action today elsewhere??  That guy down at the H3/H1 interchange must have seen the cops parked there doing the laser tag thing then slammed on his brakes???  Or do you think there was a car involved in the accident? He looked pretty OK but the bike sure took it hard on the front end. Everything on both sides of the front and the tank looked well hammered.

Someone else should take the lead sometime.  We need to head back out to the middle of the island..  Maybe go out for an early morning breakfast run or something... My upstairs neighbor came back from a weekend on Maui with the Hypermotard.  He says we absolutely have to go over there, no question about it so save up boys and let's get it together.

The Maui run is tops on my list of stuff to do.  Just not in July, please!

I enjoyed the ride today.  I've never taken a bike on Tantalus, and the Monster handled much better than expected.  As for leading, I think we are all willing to jump in there, but I, for one, don't know the downtown area worth a darn.  Bring it up here, though...

Yea, that bike (CBR I think) looked like it took it pretty hard.  He (the rider) gave us a bit of a wave as we went by and it appeared that his had/wrist was all bandaged up.  Shame really, but he did seem to have all the right gear and was at least smiling as they put him in the back of the police vehicle.

I am up for a breakfast run up around North Shore next weekend.  We can all meet up at the sports park again if that fits everyones schedule, say around eight or so?

hey now, this sunday was the break of my glorious OT-free streak!

in fact, I think I've more OT than sleep since wed. night.




wait. that's a crap trade off. 

[DRKWNG]

Well that sure won't hurt once pay day comes around now will it?

[teddy037.2]

22 hours w/tomorrow. 26 if i end up working wed ot, too.

which is moot, because as of tomorrow, I lose over half my gross paycheck this period.



ghey!

[eltristo]

So up your TSP contribution before you see it!

[MadDuck]

Back on topic here......... It's getting hard to keep track of which thread is which without a scorecard ...... I'm up for a Sunday morning breakfast run.

[DRKWNG]

Ok, I think we are trying to decide which day is best for what.  I know Tristan won't be available for the Sunday morning ride, because he will still be getting is AM groove on, and had suggested we try to do it on Saturday morning instead.  If that were to happen then we would still have Sunday to go out as well on the normal route.  Or, we could still use one of those times for some modding at my place.
