Member Contributer MisterBill Posted May 18, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted May 18, 2021 Got brand new Michelin Pilot Road 2 tires. Changed oil and oil filter with HONDA brand, no more K+N filters. Thanks. I will be thinking of you and thanks again. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeper Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 Just got home this afternoon. Pics and details when I get caught up a bit. We had over thirty bikes and about 13 or so VFR's this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeper Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 2021 SpringRide is in the books. If you didn't show, you missed a great one! I drove up to CasadeCarver on Friday to meet CornerCarver and Clarkson for a ride to Franklin where the rest of the PreRide crew was waiting. When I loaded my bikes in the trailer, I discovered that my CB500X had a leaking fork seal. No problem, I had the seals ready for Racetech install. I was lucky enough to have some help from MiniCarver installing the new seals. It went perfectly of course!😀 We had some hotel mixups and ended up with only one room so Steve was nice enough to put us all up in his basement. We were instructed not to touch Jamie's bike so..... This is how you kick off the PreRide! Its an optical delusion. Breakfast of motoGP. Andy has a cast iron stomach. You all may have seen something about a gas shortage? A nice lady rolled up and told us there was gas with no waiting two miles down the road. Some fancy pants hotel in Marion, Va. The desk clerk took great pleasure in asking if we wanted a single queen. More food. Just two guys looking at Clarkson's butt. We did The Snake but only one time this trip. The worlds shortest tunnel. This tire was new four days ago. Less than 1K miles. CLARKSON!!!!! Steve was nice enough to loan us a spare wheel with a new tire. It turns out that Honda's do run better with oil. It was great to see MiniCarver two up. She's a keeper! This bike is amazing! Always great to see Griff and his baby. Saturday nights green jersey awards. We only had two tip overs by our two newest riders and both about five foot nothing. Sunday morning. I returned Steve's WR just like he gave it to me.....almost. So, there was a rumor that Timmy was going to grace us with his presence on Saturday night. My child decided it would be fun to come see him again. Timmy mess up and pulled a no show. On her way out of town on Sunday, she stopped by the dealership to see him but he was not there again! She called me and asked permission to take a pic with her middle finger extended for him. Of course I said DO IT! She got a little nervous that the patrons might miss understand so we got this... After a late arrival back at CasadeCarver, we had to toast to the week. It well into the evening. This last pic was taken for our favorite Kanadian. Sorry for the lack of good pics. I really had a hard time taking any after chasing these guys around all week on a paint shaker. And yes, there are stories that won't be told except in person.😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer MisterBill Posted June 4, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted June 4, 2021 I know I should have put this out there two weeks ago. Sorry. I had a great time and was pleasantly surprised at the number of people that showed up (@30). I was expecting maybe a dozen. Met some new friends and found some new roads. Looking forward to the Fall event then next Spring. Bill Mersch aka MisterBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeper Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 When I returned home, I put Ol'Heavy in the shipping container while I finish some shop renovations. I don't think she's happy. The mystery of the missing fluid my be revealed soon.🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
