Hopefully I'll be installing my quick release sheild tonight - but if UPS doesn't show up with it, I'll meet you all there 8)
OR
If install goes quicker than expected, I may need to test it out :wink:

Over here in the East Bay it looks like T Storms, my kids want ice cream so I think I'm going to 1 either have them follow me or just ride with them and check the place out, I've never been.

Also, put my 1st Mod on lol :) door edging on the gas tank :)

Ride Safe

O.K. - I found out that a Memphis Shades windsheild with a 7" cut out does NOT fit our bikes :evil:
Even though I measured my light and ORDERED a 9" cutout - MS calls me and says I need the 7 incher.
Me "are you sure????"
MS - "Oh yeah, positive"
So I get it and it doesn't f$@&*ng fit :!:

Anyhow - I MADE it fit - thank goodness for drum sanders.
Hope to meet up with you all next time :D

Ok....didn't see any of you guys there.....can't wait till my new glasses come in. Jeeeeezzzzz, was anyone able to talk and hear each other.
I've played classic rock andblues forever and never was that loud.....Ok maybe I am getting on a little in years.....but I can still ride.
Big turnout........

Wow I thought the same thing, I'm glad I don't live across the street :)
I know in Bristol they are so biker unfriendly it isn't even funny....

Maybe next week we can have an organized ride.

I was there wandering around, Bluz ... spent a lot of time talking with the guy with the red Shadow, not that you'd have any clue it was a Shadow by looking at it. Very, sharp, very clean, all around really nice job.

But anyway ... it's harder to tell the VTX riders apart when they're not actually on their rides, I guess. We oughtta find a place to hook up next time so we all know who we are (did that a few weeks ago with the Westerly and CT contingent).

As for the loudness of the band, it's pretty scary when they still can't totally drown out the straight-piped Hardleys. Other than that, they actually sounded pretty damn good (the band, not the Hardleys).

We should kinda pick out a spot for all us VTX's that go but can't find each other. I would like to meet some of the guys but usually don't ride in with anyone. Any ideas.....anyone take a leak and mark out our territory...hehehe.

I could be talked into buzzing up to Suzie's tonight, but I'll have to bug out by around 7:30.

SaS,
Do you know where the YumYum shop is a the corner of 116 and Hope Furnace Rd? How 'bout meeting there around shortly after 6:30-ish?
(I have a meeting late this afternoon, but I should be done in time.)

Bluz, where are you coming from?

Still don't know who is who though. Didn't see any Grey button downs.
I usually sit by the 116 side on the big round pole fence.

Could be good, as long as my Tuesdays stay un-cramped.

Bluz, Sean and I were there last night, although I couldn't stay long. We definitely need to hook up somewhere before hand.
