    Typical NYCC morning--- cloudy, but they still say its gonna clear up. Might be a first!!!

    Anyway, time to start the coffee, lay out the tools, and get the day going!

    Special thanks in advance to XJ4Ever sending parts in time for the jobs to do, PLUS a nice batch of door prizes for everyone. Thank you, Len!

    I'll try to post a few updates through the day

    Dave

    Bob has a new set of engine guards, and a new tool pouch assembled;

    Elliott's forks are being rebuilt at the moment;

    Larry's Harley shocks were adjusted;

    John's squirrelly-handling 700 was diagnosed to a loose frame bolt on the removable section;

    Turned out to be a beautiful day here. Took a 30 mile ride with a buddy.
    Hope you guys had the same awesome weather up there, and had a fun day.

    Some more fun bits--

    Johnny77 got tangled up with a deer on the way... Had to leave a bag of deer-blood soaked gloves and other garments hidden in a knapsack behind a guardrail post ( to pick up on the way home, so he didnt come in all covered in venison stew ), and stopped at a car wash to wash the bike. Looked like it tore a seal as the bike was slathered in oil when he got here---- well, we diagnosed the issue ::
    ------ make sure when you have someone do an oil change for you that the CHANGE the oil, not just add all the all the oil to your already-full crankcase-----drained a lot out, problem solved. Best part was, no damage to Johnny or his bike.... Well, may be a pair of dirty pair of underwear behind the guardrail, too......

    Larry and JoAnne rode his new sportster 1200 instead of the 750 Seca

    Doug brought his new Goldwing but was a great help on the fork rebuild

    Fuller56 brought his nice 650rj non-turbo ( which got shimmed, color-tuned)

    John Milliken's friend Dustin brought a 650rj project that hasnt run in a decade----a raid of my parts stash, and we got the bike to NOT start because john had the starter plate in backward so the starter would spin in reverse. A few more minutes in the bench, and that was solved.
    ---- confetti all over, and everyone cheered when Dave got the bike to fire up!!!!!! The confetti?----- a mouse nest in the right muffler that got blown all over the place ( and all over everyone standing behind the bike... lol

    Everyone got some nice bits for their bikes.... Ranging from brand new clamps and clips, to color-matched tubing, to cable-lube tools. All compliments of Len at XJ4Ever.

    Names were drawn out of a cup for the two grand door prizes...Dustin was the recipient of a Spin-on Oil Filter kit, and Chris was the recipient of a fuse box upgrade kit..... Also, both door prizes were compliments of Len at XJ4Ever.

    It was a great day!! Special thanks to Len for all his help and support , too!!

    We turned the light out around 12:40am.

    Now, time for coffee, and packing it all up til next June.

    BluesBass hasn't crawled out of his tent yet, and Bobbi's still snoring pretty heavily out here... Lol
