    I know it's somewhat short notice, but the weatherman says weather looks good. If he changes his mind we may have to reschedule.

    Location:
    886 York St.
    Plymouth, MI 48170
    (734) 446-5874

    Lets plan to start at 9:00 AM. I know some of you will be coming from farther away so we'll let you be late. There's at least 6 of us within a half hour ride so we can start early.

    I need PMs please from everybody planning to attend with real name and where you're coming from.

    If anyone wants to come from far enough that you need to stay over night let me know, we can probably find room for a couple of you.

    Bring a piece of dead animal (or tofu) to throw on the grill. I'll provide the soft drinks. Absolutely no alcohol provided or tolerated.

    I have both 12 and 14mm colortune plugs and a rack of vacuum gauges. Anyone that can bring extras and extra screwdrivers will be handy.

    For those from out of state - Michigan law requires DOT helmet and face shield/goggles.

    There is a nice parkway just a couple blocks away that provides some nice cruising.

    I look forward to meeting many of you.

    Got 3 confirmed so far (not counting Honda Guy).

    Just a reminder. I pretty much have one set of tools. Anyone that can bring extras (probably an assortment of screwdrivers will do it) please do so.

    RAIN!

    Weather is looking pretty shaky.

    I need to know if you guys want to ride in the rain, or if I should reschedule.

    Hey Guys....I'd like to join you also, but I would have to agree that the weather looks shaky and 1 of my coils don't agree with the rain very well.
    I'd be coming from Lansing.

    PS...I have 1 color-tune plug and a set of (4) crappy dial vacuum gauges.

    I'd man up if you didn't reschedule, but if you did, that would give me time to do my valves before tuning...

    Either way, I'm still in.

    Whenever you do it, be it this weekend or not, someone bring a digital camera or 3 and take pictures. Lots and lots of pictures. Maybe you could talk someone into putting them on the XJCD... you'd be famous! :)

    Id rather not ride in the rain, as I have not installed my rear fender. Any Saturday morning is good for me.

    Ok, looks like the weatherman might cooperate after all.

    I will be there tomorrow from 9:00 until at least 3:00.

    Come in the rain, or when there is a hole in the clouds.

    Ok, first of all big thanks to Carl for hosting at his shop. My bike runs and sounds great. Awesome response and power. I have a few (2) pics that I will attach later after I get home. I think other guys had cameras also.

    Thanks Carl!
