Miles per month

I live in an area with limited ride time, though I do ride mine to work when the weather allows, the down fall to this is I work all over the country border to border ocean to **** near ocean so I can easily knock out 5-6 grand per month I just need to refer to a 10 day forcast and trust it, been caught with my pants down before making some cold rides. started with saving money on fuel but it does quickly become an institution. hopefully It will be nice enough to take it to santa barbara this Jan. ride it ther for a few months.

Gumby, thanks for the tip...I'm up in Canada our setup is a little different here. We get killed on penalties if we leave before 60. mwelych, I hope you and the mrs get out more on the bike..thoughts and well wishes from me.

Welll,

Lessee,

About 19,189 miles in 18 months. Born in March 2005, Bought on 28 April 2005 with 3 miles on her, and first run was to Galveston Island on May 2nd, 2005.

Although, seeing as to how I live in sunny Ohio now, I think the mileage come down a bit...

Oh well, whaddya do when you move to support the family???

kind a hard to park it when the snow flys scooter. I hope to be done here in MN and head to santa barbra area soon might take the bike there and ride. maybe you can catch up on some service and repairs while your watching it snow

Yeah, I keep telling myself that a break over the winter will be a good thing. That maybe I'll appreciate her more in the spring when I can ride again. That i can catch up on maintenance intervals and cleaning and reading and.....AAAUUUGGGGHHHH!!!

This is gonna kill me.

I Hear You Bro

WELL you can do all that and more. still wont be able to ride though. I just finished my top end this week end. I went to start it and she ran real good. The next day i went out into the garage and my petcock was leaking so I still haven't been able to put 1 mile on her. She sounded real strong and good. I followed everything that Dave wrote about in an artical in 2002. It worked out great and not a leak in site. I will be going to Mexico in a few weeks so I need to put some miles on her soon. I should have my petcock today. Stay warm and I will be thinking about you bro when I am in sunny Mexico. How long is your stay where you are? Keep in touch. GUMBY AKA Dennis

Got my first street bike aug. 26 and logged over 3200 miles so far. Had my rt. arm too tense first 2 weeks and really got sore, just propped it on my thigh, held the throttle underhanded, gritted my teeth and kept riding because even in pain i wasn't ready to get off.

You will LOVE Santa Barbra and Santa Maria. I have riden there many times when I lived in Calif. In 3 weeks we are off to Mexico from Vegas. 4 Days in Mexico on the Fire run or something fire. About 20 riders from here are going should be a blast.....GET TO SB.......GUMBY PEACE

been there before gumby and liked it, its nice to work the coast just can't live there not a city type but will not turn down the warmer climate. the cost of staying there gets pretty pricey too. probably spend about 3 mos on the coast then bring it back inland for the summer again. watch out for the bandits in mexico heard they string cord across the roads when they see you coming, usually some yougster. enjoy mexico though been there its very interesting. keep it between the ditches and the rubber side down.

Thanks For The Heads Up....i Have Been Down As Far As San Filele For The Baja 250. We Had A Blast. We Should Have Another One. The Weather Is Starting To Cool Down Here. It Gets Into The Upper 70's And At Night Down To The Uper 40's. I Just Hope We Have Nice Weathera Ll The Way Down. I Will Let You Know...gumby Peace

Well

WHAT KIND OF BIKE DID YOU GET????

As of 3 November

Supposed to be in the 50's today, and I have time, so I'll be out and about I hope....

I really need to rethink this whole Ohio bit....

Hey Scooter

I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT FOR SURE. I AM ORIG. FROM N.Y. AND MOVED TO CALIF. IN 76 AT THE AGE OF 23 OR SO. I HATED THE WINTERS BACK THERE.
SO OFF I WENT AND NOW I AM IN VEGAS.
I JUST FINISHED MY TOP END LAST WEEK AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE. IN FACT I HAVE TO LEAVE NOW TO GET SOME MORE MILES ON HER FOR A GOOD BRAKE IN. I AM GOING TO MEXICO IN TWO WEEKS FOR A RUN. IT'S CALLED THE "ROCKY POINT RALLY". WE WILL LEAVE EITHER ON THE 8TH OR THE 9TH. IT IS ABOUT 65 MILES FROM THE BORDER IN A TOWN CALLED PUERTO PENASCO IN SONORA ON THE SEA OF CORTEZ.

IT IS ONLY ABOUT 75 HERE NOW. IT DOES GET COLD AT NIGHT. GETS DOWN INTO THE HIGH 40'S. SO YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR THE WEATHER CHANGE AT ABOUT 3 OR 4 PM.
I TELL YOU I FOLLOWED CD's WAY OF PUTTING TOGETHER THE BIKE. I HAVE TO SAY IT HAS WORKED LIKE A CHARM SO FAR. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CARB. AND THE PETCOCK. MY TANK SEEMS TO HAVE DRIED AND ALL THE CRAP THAT WAS IN IT FOR 15 YEARS IS COMING OUT AND MAKING MY FLOAT STICK.

SO EVERYDAY SINCE I HAVE PUT THE BIKE TOGETHER I HAVE HAD AN OVERFLOW COMING OUT OF MY CARB. SO THE OTHER NIGHT I TOOK THE TANK AND CARB OFF AND CLEANED EVERYTHING OUT. I FLUSHED THE CRAP OUT OF THE TANK AND FILLED IT UP WITH SOME FRESH GAS.

SO NOW I AM OFF TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS TODAY. I AM HOPEING IT WON'T OVER FLOW ANY MORE. COME ON BACK CLOSER TO FLA. OR CALIF. IT WILL FEEL LIKE WARM TOAST TO YOU. SPEAK TO YOU SOON.
GUMBY PEACE 4 NYC

went to town to have lunch with my better half, temp was about 21-22 but no wind This week I should put another 1000 on it if the snow don't fly. My friend bought a honda g-w with all the features and gadgits ( hand warmers, butt warmers, reverse, oh-ya it also has air conditioning ha-ha) any way to put a long story short I"M WITH YA SCOOT.

I Am Hearing That Cd Is Not Well

This Site Will Be Closeing I Heard Today. Direct Parts Will No Longer Be.....is This True?
If It Is I Have To Say That It Really Sucks. I Hope Dave Gets Well First And Formost. To Have This Site Go Under Will Be A Tragedy.

It Has Been The First One That People Have Been Real And Helpful.

My Blessing And Thanks Go Out To Dave And Sam. I Hope What I Heard Is Wrong.
To All That Contributad To My Top End Rebuild Thank You.....it Is Running Very Well. I Have Put On Close To 2oo Miles So Far. I Need To Put More On Because I Am Headed For Mexico In A Week.

So If This Is A B.s. Rumor That The Site Is Shutting Down Please Let Me Know.
If It Is True, I Wish You All The Best And It Has Been A Short Run Here For Me But A Good One. Blessing To All And Praying For Peace And Dave.
Hope To Hear From Some Of You..gumby- Peace- Over And Out And C U In The Funny Papers
