Big Kahuna 12-27-2006, 01:22 PM ...of all the sunny days!!!
Who says it never rains in California?
So, I'm out of town in the bay area for Christmas. Sun is shining, streets are dry, bikers out stunting on the local streets. It's all good right?
Get home last night, starts raining... wake up this morning, still raining.
It's been weeks since I put the new wheels and rotors on the Repsol and I haven't been able to get out and see how the feel. I'm dying to put them to the test and see what kind of difference they make, but the weather is not cooperating. I have some time off work this Friday so please cross your fingers for me that the afternoon will be somewhat warm and dry.
bumblebee 12-27-2006, 01:28 PM Patience...it can't rain forever...That's what I've been telling myself for the last two weeks...:lol:

No Worries 12-27-2006, 08:54 PM No sympathy here. I haven't ridden in three weeks. You can ride in rain, you can't ride in snow. Although on my drive to the hardware store today I saw a guy park his Harley on some frozen slush. So it's possible, and my Avons are good in the wet, but I ain't doing it. Plus it's going to snow a bunch more tomorrow and Friday. Hello white new year's eve.

Big Kahuna 12-28-2006, 11:52 AM It's not the rain so much as the icy roadways. Not fun at all!

Avoid that ice!
Big Kahuna 12-29-2006, 12:56 AM Avoid that ice!That is that plan. Tomorrow looks good for a little run. I'm off at 1:00pm and hope to finally get some time on the beast.

Nice. Supposed to be 50 in PA tomorrow...but I pulled my batttery today.
pickle.of.doom 12-29-2006, 12:49 PM I could still be riding here pretty much... but I have already winterized and de-winterized my bikes about 4 times.. I am not going to go buy my 4th bottle of stabil for the season :lol:

That's my POV... its winterized and its going to stay that way. The snow will come...we are on borrowed time!
marko138 12-30-2006, 07:54 PM That's my POV... its winterized and its going to stay that way. The snow will come...we are on borrowed time!
I'm with ya. Mines half winterized and I'm not going back the other way. Stabil is in and battery pulled. The batt will go back in April or May.
justpucky 12-30-2006, 07:59 PM It is an el nino year... I'm gambling on being able to ride at least every three weeks. So far I've been good. Got out today for three hours. It'll snow, but then it will melt.
Gas Man 12-30-2006, 08:02 PM But I won't ride till the rain rinses off all the salt from a snow storm.

Captain Morgan 12-30-2006, 08:04 PM At least you have a bike! I have no sympathy for you. :sorry:
Gas Man 12-30-2006, 09:40 PM Thats b/c people who ride choppers are soft.
Yeah right... they are just worth too much $$$ to ride in salt that is going to pit and rust my chrome & polished stuff
marko138 12-31-2006, 05:33 PM Yeah right... they are just worth too much $$$ to ride in salt that is going to pit and rust my chrome & polished stuff

marko138 01-02-2007, 12:18 AM Did I miss something Capt.? Last I heard you got the beast running again.
He hasn't had one for some time.

Yea you did. He gave it up to ease finances and has hated it ever sense.
marko138 01-03-2007, 12:46 AM Yea you did. He gave it up to ease finances and has hated it ever sense.
I would too.
Big Kahuna 01-08-2007, 11:57 AM Well hot damn, got out for a few hours yesterday. All I can say is WOW! The new lighter wheels are incredible. Quicker turning, flick-ablity and even better acceleration. Mike says the increase I feel in acceleration is probably due to the new ceramic bearings. Who knows, but I do know that I have to re-adjust my suspension settings now as the new lighter bits seem to have played havoc with my current near perfect setup.
