Dave,

Switch me over to the confirmed side as I've gotten everything set on my end.
Looks like the weather may be identical to what we had last year.

Keep us posted on any updates.

Saftie and Carmine might get their wish......the tractor is running.......I pulled the carburetor off and cleaned it out this morning, so I pulled the tractor out in front—it won’t be buried behind stuff this year
Nuch at CNYCC#11

 

Big work canopy is up, food canopy is up about 20 ft away......tomorrow I’ll start getting tools and stuff lined up.

NAPA has donated 2 cans of Seafoam for a couple door prizes, XJ4Ever is sending a surprise new product that will be installed on someone’s bike, and there is one other special door prize for everyone but I’m not gonna tell you what it is........(I know something you don’t know.......neener, neener, neeee-nerrrr) Oops, the elementary kid in me just appeared——Sorry.

oh, yeah........gotta get the hand sanitizer bottles out, too——-dfox

 

Pre trip trailer check done. Hubs greased and wiring repaired for the run. Weather permitting, going to make a weekend out of it!

 

PortaJohn arrived earlier today

 

Is it blue, green or gray. Inquiring minds need to know.

 

Yamaha blue

 

Almost here

I’m trying to set things up so we can play the whole ‘social distancing’ game; the ‘keep things sanitized’ game; the ‘keep distance and individual servings for food’ game; the ‘hand-sanitizer and wash station’ game; etc........

For those who have come before, it’ll be slightly different than usual, but not drastically. I’m trying to keep it as close to ‘usual’ as possible.

Please make sure to bring a mask with you,....you won’t need to have it on all the time, we’ll be able to keep far enough apart, and we are outside, anyway, and with several acres available, there won’t be any issues with camping tents for anyone staying overnight.

for those who have. Never been to a carb clinic before......yo won’t notice anything different——-lol.

so far it looks like most everyone has gotten their bikes in pretty good shape over the years, so it’ll be just minor tuneups if they wish,,,.we do have one bike that will have shims swapped.

There are some door prizes again this year—

Len Chacal has sent a special surprise for one bike, and so someone is going to go home with a special door prize from XJ4Ever.

Gates-Cole Insurance company has provided a few small door prizes.

NAPA has donated 2 cans of Seafoam as door prizes.

Excell Motorsports has supplied us with a case of oil, and some Oil filters, and some fuel filters to have on hand if needed to purchase.

looking forward to it!

Just about to hit the sack now... all prepped and plan to head north when I wake up at daylight.

Staying close by overnight so that the ride there on carb clinic morning can be relaxed and dare I say enjoyable... Weather looks good...

Will have my Maxim 700n and the 750 Seca in tow.

The Maxim to have an oil change and ride, the 750 to tinker with. Carbs on the 750 have been rebuilt, (there’s a thread out there) but just haven’t been able to get the tune/mixture right. My hope is to “Hogfiddle” my way into getting it dialed it.

More updates to come.

 

Food is in, sodas are in the cooler, hand sanitizer and paper towels all over the place

 

I should have sent my carbs to the clinic. They need some work. More like a lot of work.

 

Had a great drive up today. The weather was awesome. Beautiful blue skies and puffy white clouds. After dropping my truck, trailer and Seca by Dave’s, I took off again to explore the area a bit on the Maxim. I’m about 45 miles back out for the overnight, but tomorrow’s plans include a meet up with @saftie for the morning ride back to the clinic. Here’s a roadside pic somewhere between Utica and Cooperstown... Looking forward to tomorrow.

 

Yup,Nuch was the first to arrive. As he was heading out and I was heading to top off my gas tank, I saw a 700 heading south......knowing pretty much who has them around the area, and who doesn’t, I knew it was probably Huntchuks about to arrive. So, I turned around and beat it on home. He got his tent set up, and then we talked bikes, parts, and all kinds of other stuff......threw a few ‘dogs on the grill, and talked some more. Now, time to catch some ZZZZZ’s, and put the coffee on in the morning. A few details to attend to in the morning, and we’re off and running!
