    Another Barrie Rider here.
    I'm thinking a Southern Ontario XJ ride is in the near future.
    Perhaps someplace central for everyone. Maybe 401 and Trafalgar.

    The Dover Friday the 13th ride is coming up soon. I will be there with the XJ 750RH and the Girlfriend on her new Katana.
    She was mentioning something about Daisy Dukes and a halter top. Anyone know what she is talking about? LOL

    See you there on the 13th

    Peter

    For those of us meeting in Dover this weekend (weather permitting) how will we recognize each other? Its not like we can just ride up to the drive through.

    I have never been to the ride, so I am not sure how it all works. From my understanding the town is closed to car traffic, but bikes can come and go.
    I was thinking about parking and figuring out where to go from there.
    Any help here from anyone who has been there before?

    Peter.

    There's two that I know of that happen regularly (June & Sept/Oct), but they're held by the XJ Email List folks, so sometimes they don't pass on the message on this board.

    Riding season is getting a bit tight now, so best we could do is try to come up with something for the springtime I guess

    Too bad, it would be nice to have one this month. Could you explain exactly what is done at these carb clinics?

    Thanks,

    hey cheesy,
    baz here.
    Thought I'd come over and check things out in the XJ Bikes forum. The XJ Email list is kind of quiet lately since the main topic of conversation seems to be how to catch the hacker/spammer that's creating havoc. Same idiot that tried it on this forum but got poleaxed.
    Anyway, hope the pods work out well and I sent that final clamp out in the mail today.

    Hi Everyone,

    Is there anyone close to Waterloo that I could borrow a Colortune plug from for my XJ750 Maxim-X? I just got finished cleaning and puting new seats/needles in the carbs and I would like to set them up perhaps with someone who knows how to use one.

    Thanks in advance,
    Chuck

    Ok. Figured out the Members Map. Duh. So I have that done but would still like to know about riding groups in my area. Maybe this is not the right place to post this request. If anyone an think of better place to post this please let me know. Maybe I should start a new thread requesting this info.

    And I am in Norwich, just south of Woodstock.. not real far from Tilsonburg. If anyone does want to hook up for a weekend ride at some point, please let me know. Our weekends are busy, but things can be arranged. I likely wave at you as we pass anyways. Take care.
