WV Sport Tour 4/11?
WV Sport Tour 4/11?
I've got the day off tomorrow and feel like taking the CBR out for a long ride. Is anyone interested in coming along? Does anyone have a better idea? I could probably be talked into just about any type of ride.

It will be a great day for that, it seems. I would absolutely love to go, but tomorrow is the only day this week I can't blow off work.

Re: WV Sport Tour 4/11?
I got out last evening for a loop of the Savage River Reservoir. It was a great ride, but the DRZ is acting like it needs a good going over. It is shaking and vibrating more than it sould be, so I need to get into it and look over a few things.
I probably could not get out until after 3 anyhow. However, if you want to sport tour your way out here, we could dig into the DRZ together.
I should be heading out past your way on Saturday to look at a bike (Harrisonberg). I could drop the tire by to you on my way back. Do you have a cutting tool to cut fork springs at your house (I am thinking big powered cut-off wheel)? I want to chop the fork springs on my DRZ to stiffen them up. We would need a torch to bend the chopped coil flat and a way to grind the top of the coil flat and smooth. Would you be interested in doing that Saturday if you have the tools and time?
Or I might have a new Green Ridge toy that needs test riding?

Well, maybe some Saturday in the future. I'm always on the lookout for sane sportbikers to ride with.Teethgrinder wrote:It will be a great day for that, it seems. I would absolutely love to go, but tomorrow is the only day this week I can't blow off work. Of course.

I'll be around on Saturday. It looks like its going to rain so that will be my "chore" day. I have an air driven exhaust cut-off tool that will make quick work of cutting the springs and flat grinding discs for smoothing the ends but the only torch I have is the small propane type. It might not be enough to get the springs red hot...mdubya wrote:I got out last evening for a loop of the Savage River Reservoir.

If you stop by, I'm going to force you to unload the new bike for a few practice laps around the yard. I rebuilt my jump last weekend; its pretty sweet!
Bye, bye Duke. You'll be missed.
