No Moar Tornadoes Ride

[mtnairlover]

Ok, so I'm keeping an eye on the weekend weather and as promised, I'm itching to finish up that ride we attempted last Sunday. This coming Sunday, so far, says in the 80s. So, it's that Northern route. And yes, I am stubborn. I would love to actually finish up this ride and then, as summer progresses, I'm going to attempt to do routes that take me further west and south into the mountains each week.

So, who's with me?

Meet-up details:

Place: 1275 Eagle Dr., Starbucks on south side of King Soopers, Loveland
Time: 8:30 am
KSU: 9:00 am

PM me for more details.

I love making people happy. She said she really enjoyed herself. I'm looking forward to seeing a couple of races at HPR and watching the women tear it up.

Ha, tell us something we don't know about Sortarican.

You guys should join me, too. Oh and Mike, yeah...I'll give ya another chance. Just be sure to leave the rain behind you, m'kay.

glad we could help. Looks like you had fun after all

[mtnairlover]

Yep...hwy7 was a dream as usual.

You know how I thought that Mike's bike had a shorter wheel base? Welp, I checked the specs, it's just about the same as the 750. I dunno what it is with that bike, but I'm getting some sort of bug and will need to find a house real soon before I waste my money on another bike.

you just need more COWBELL.....Baby!!!!

[daemon]

well.
for once i received no rain on this trip...
although cathy's bike decided to rain on our parade today regardless.
seems her slider was loose today and fell off in her hand.
believing that the remainder of the bolt would hold fast for the trip.
we edged on.
not a chance.
quick inspection enroute sent us poking back to chad's house for the diagnosis.



doesn't look good!!!

many thanks to the neighborhood mechanic(calvin) and welder(???)
we were able to get her going again.



that is....after a short test ride!!!

[mtnairlover]

Yep, now that's a "crack"...maybe more like an almost freakin complete break. Gah!

Anyhoo...Mike you know I love the Z. I'm gonna have a hard time containing myself now...but, I will stick with my plan of owning a home despite the liter bug.

Hey, I wonder if Jeff got any usable video from today's shortened jaunt.

Cathy,
I have a FJR for sale if you are interested.

[mtnairlover]

lol...I love ya, Patrick. But, I really, really, really want a house first.

We'll see what the move does to me financially. I'm gonna hang onto my mere pittance just in case something else blows up that I'm not expecting. So, give me a couple months and if you sell it, then that's ok, no worries.

Thanks

[daemon]

i thought you would like it!!!

[chad23]

that was one hell of a pit stop for you. how long did it take? you couldnt have been at my house for more than 1 1/2 hours

[mtnairlover]

I know...like I said, you guys rock! I can't imagine what it would have been to take it to a shop. That's why I repaid your kindness like I did.

That lunch was goooood. Mmmm ribs.... and tomatillo sauce. Well even though it was a short ride, that new rear got scrubbed in real nice.

In many ways it was a good thing that we caught the break (no pun intended) when it did, rather than somewhere out in the boonies in the rain with no way to repair it. So Cathy nursed the bike over to Chad's and it became a wrenching party.

After the repairs we go for a short test ride up Devil's Gulch.

We saw some other riders at Ed's Cantina. You guys on here?
