    I have a couple things that I need to get done on the bike (valves, carbs, MC/brake line replacements). I'm waiting on parts to do the valves. Once those come in, if I can get all that knocked out, I'll be up for a run - Hopefully in the next few weeks.

    *****************WEATHER PERMITTING*************

    SUNDAY April 24th, 2011 -

    I will be leaving from NW of Philly (Norristown, PA) to meet up with iwin and otter (hopefully) in Glasgow, MD (about 55 mile drive) If anyone else from Philly area wants to ride down with me let me know...nealsxj I'm talking to you :) We can organize our own pre-meeting meeting... haha.

    Meeting in Glasgow, MD around 2:30 PM at Home Depot on Rt 40 and Glasgow Road. It seemed the closest to the middle between Philly and Baltimore area. From there we will take a scenic ride through parts of MD, another 40-50 miles, than maybe lunch and ride back home.

    Any questions or suggestions or whatever let me know! Feel free to PM me!

    Got the bike out of the back of the shop this yesterday. It sure starts better when I put gas in it. I thought there was going to be enough to get to the station down the street but no luck. 2 gallons of fresh from the can and it fired right up.

    So, if the weather is good I'm good.

    I've set the float levels many times. It can take a lot to time to get them just right. There's plenty of threads going on right now on the subject. It's not very hard just sometimes a pain.

    I don't have a colortune.

    Are we working or just riding?

    Doesn't matter to me either way but I don't know if a home depot parking lot 40 something miles from everyones home is the best place to be taking apart bikes unnecessarily.

    We got 40% chance of rain on Sunday right now.
    Everyone keep their fingers crossed and maybe we can knock that down a bit!

    As for prior posts, I thought we were just riding, if someone wants to work on bikes thats fine, but like iwin said Home Depot is a bad place to do it haha.

    guess we will do an update on saturday and we can make a group decision about whether or not to re-schedule this.

    Sounds like a plan. Iwin helped me get most of the work done on the Seca and we should be finishing up tonight. Getting new tires tomorrow so I'll itching and ready to go. *fingers crossed for Sun*
