marko138 05-31-2006, 06:53 AM Alright guys. Time to start talking about Carlisle again. This is what brought me to this forum in the first place.
Is there going to be a TWF presence again? I've only met one person from this forum (R1UPon1). Time to put faces to some names.
Who's going and who wants to do a group ride?
itgirl25 05-31-2006, 05:33 PM i'll be there for sure, but probably on friday though. i work every weekend (in fact, that's the only time i work). so i don't know if i'll get to meet ya or not. i didn't get the chance to meet anyone last year.
R1up0n1 05-31-2006, 06:07 PM You know I will be there for sure, and probably feature my bike under the 2WT magazine tent again in which I may have an entire new custom paint job on the R1 by then. I will also probably host most of the event pictures again this year. I haven't heard anything about 2WT making it out yet this year.
Just to post up the dates on the Carlisle Bike Fest 2006 it will be held July 21-23rd. I hope to meet a lot more of you out there this year! I met a few others last year, but not enough of you.
Gas Man 05-31-2006, 09:24 PM I wish I could go!
R1up0n1 05-31-2006, 11:02 PM I wish I could go!

marko138 06-01-2006, 05:26 AM I wish I could go!
I've got a spare room.

nitrofish 06-01-2006, 07:01 AM Can I get some info on the times and location/directions to this event.
It sounds like a Blast.:help:

If you wanna do a group ride let me know. Mostly cruisers...relaxed pace. About 60 miles. Good times.
If anyone is interested let me know...
itgirl25 06-01-2006, 08:01 AM you'll hafta let me know what the group ride plans are. i'd love to go, if i could swing it. relaxed pace is nice. i am not quite confident enough or ready for triple digit speeds and knee dragging yet. :dthumb:

There is def. none of that. Quite frankly I don't know if some of these cruisers will do that speed.
Hi guys - Carlisle isn't looking quite as simple to do this year. 2Wheel Tuner was able to help us last year by having a booth and tent and place to hang out, but this year Carlisle conflicts with MotoGP so the magazine crew are heading out to Laguna Seca for the weekend.
Probably the best bet is to have a gathering with us TWF peeps whereever we decide at Carlisle.

Lets do it.
Gas Man 06-01-2006, 11:23 AM That sucks Todd!
Marko.. its a time off work thing... and a money thing due to trying to do the home move thing after buying the new bike.

ShanMan14 06-01-2006, 03:17 PM I can work on a tent if you guys want to "man" it?
R1up0n1 06-01-2006, 03:20 PM I can work on a tent if you guys want to "man" it?
Shan that would be great! :dthumb:
I can take care of a lot of things since I know how it pretty much ran last year. I was there the entire weekend with Todd. I still have a stack of TWF business cards to promote more business, but I will need more than what I have.
Let me know how the tent rental thing goes Shan.
Gas Man 06-01-2006, 03:27 PM That would be cool.... lets see what Shan comes up with..
R1up0n1 06-01-2006, 03:38 PM That would be cool.... lets see what Shan comes up with..
:iagree: I can probably provide a few things like tables and a few chairs, compliments of my work. :lol: it's over the weekend so they wouldn't know. :whistle:
Maybe I can also setup a audio and video display of sportbikes with a projector and a sound system.
ShanMan14 06-01-2006, 04:06 PM Todd's right. The 2Wheel guys helped us at Carlisle last year and since they won't be there this year it's looking tough to get a spot.

marko138 06-02-2006, 05:52 AM I could probly man the tent for an hour or two on Saturday.
nitrofish 06-02-2006, 07:55 AM I know it sucks I live in Pa. and have never been to Carlisle.
My brother went there for corvetts at Carlisle but he sold that and got a real car (73 camaro).
Im talkin with a few of the new riders here at work and I think we got us a convoy:cin: :cin: :cin: :cin: .
But some of them are new riders and we all know how the back outs can happen.
If you guys get a group ride together please post the info because I may need someone to ride with.:cry:
Thanks

I could man the tent the entire weekend. But there are going to be times when I'll want to go check out some things...so I would need someone to relieve me for a few.

My ride needs inspected. I should really ride out and get it done today. I dont wanna do it though. I was out yesterday....geared up and it was hot as hell. Today will be worse. I might try to stay off it.
I gotta change the oil this week. Bleed the brakes and swapped out the rear fluid on Friday. Brakes are feeling NICE. I'm helping my buddy put SS lines on his 05 this week.

Damn really, that stinks. What was it doing?
marko138 07-17-2006, 07:43 AM Damn really, that stinks. What was it doing?
Well 2 years ago...the first year I actually rode to the show...the dickus who put my rear tire on didn't replace the valve stem... It leaked several miles from my house. I did a road side repair and kept rolling. But my buddy had to keep an eye on my tire the whole ride. It sucked. I couldn't ride too hard cuz it was leaking slow.
Last year... 10 minutes into the ride. We are cruising up 322 in HBG. I lost my oil drain plug at 70mph. Luckily the 3 guys behind me where getting covered in oil and had me pull off the road BEFORE the engine seized. I waited along side the road for 3 hours till someone could come pick me up...then DROVE to the show.
Well 2 years ago...the first year I actually rode to the show...the dickus who put my rear tire on didn't replace the valve stem... It leaked several miles from my house. I did a road side repair and kept rolling. But my buddy had to keep an eye on my tire the whole ride. It sucked. I couldn't ride too hard cuz it was leaking slow.

Thanks,

marko138 07-23-2006, 07:33 PM I decided to ride out. We cut the ride short and just went straight to the show. We got lucky and didn't get rained on. I took a ton of pics...but since I can only upload 3/day I'll hotlink them from photobucket. Should have some uploaded tomorrow.
