mini-muffin Posted June 13, 2011 #8 Posted June 13, 2011 I'm sure Jonas is looking forward to seeing his new bike and spending lots of time with her. So sleeping with her should be no problem hope Greta doesn't mind sharing him. Glad you both made it to the U S. Margaret

ragtop69gs Posted June 13, 2011 #11 Posted June 13, 2011 :wel_ani4Tay: Enjoy your stay. You have a nice scoot waiting for you, it got plenty of TLC at Don's MD.
cecdoo Posted June 13, 2011 #12 Posted June 13, 2011 Well Jonas and Greta arrived in Reading at 4 yesterday afternoon, after a short ride back to our place Jonas could not wait to get a look at his new bike. He couldnt wait to back it out of the garage into the sunlite to check out the candy apple red paint and the new whitewalls, he had a smile from ear to ear. I dont think Greta was quite sure of the color, it was going to take alittle time to grow on her. After some tinkering on the bike, bs'n and picking on some munchies Jonas wanted to take the bike for a spin, so we headed out on some back country roads for the maiden voyage, after a few miles we pulled up to a stop lite I looked over and he had the biggest smile I think I have ever seen, he was lovin his new wheels. Back home we fired up the grill had a nice dinner and lots more bs and laughs, anyone who has met Jonas knows what a nice guy he is, his lovely wife Greta is just as nice and has a great sense of humor and a perpetual smile. We had a really nice evening, I think they got a decent nites sleep, and we woke up to a picture perfect day, sunny 65 and no humidity, breakfast more bs, hooked up his GPS and the 4 of us off on a nice leisurely ride thru the Pa dutch countryside. Stopped for lunch at an outdoor grill then back to our house for some final adjustments on his bike and they are off to their next stop in Souderton Pa. If you get the chance to meet them along the way its an experience you wont forget. I hope their trip continues to go as nicely as it started, Keep us updated Jonas. Craig and Kim
Freebird Posted June 13, 2011 #13 Posted June 13, 2011 WHAT???? You let him take MY BIKE? We have to TALK! The only problem I had with it was that I needed sunglasses when I rode it because it is so bright.
cecdoo Posted June 13, 2011 #14 Posted June 13, 2011 Yep he is off on your bike, but I can assure you its in good hands, and I can also assure you, you and Eileen are in for a great visit, we really hated to see them go!
Sleeperhawk Posted June 13, 2011 #15 Posted June 13, 2011 Yep he is off on your bike, but I can assure you its in good hands, and I can also assure you, you and Eileen are in for a great visit, we really hated to see them go! Where is a picture of this bike with his big grin ? Sheeez where is Bobbie when you need her taking pics, oh yeah someplace at PA gas station.
mini-muffin Posted June 13, 2011 #16 Posted June 13, 2011 Damn George you aren't gonna let us forget you left her at a gas station are ya. :crackup::crackup::crackup::crackup::crackup::crackup::crackup::crackup::crackup: Margaret
cecdoo Posted June 13, 2011 #18 Posted June 13, 2011 Here ya go, not as good as Bobbie, but I am trying:bang head:
mini-muffin Posted June 13, 2011 #20 Posted June 13, 2011 Thanks for the pics!! That bike looks good on him. Hope they have a safe and good time. Margaret
Kregerdoodle Posted June 13, 2011 #21 Posted June 13, 2011 They didn`t have any RED bikes huh??? LOL man that is Bright!! Nice looking scoot, ya`ll have a safe trip and enjoy!!
BIG TOM Posted June 14, 2011 Author #22 Posted June 14, 2011 Thanks for the pics.....that bike cleaned up really nice... Boy , it really is RED... Still think you should have let me paint it "PINK" like I wanted to !!.............. :whistling: ps..Jonas keep the weight off the trunk, it will handle a thousand times better two up....or ditch Greta.......lol.....we'll keep the light on for ya !! Ride safe my friend and Greta I was just fooling....
BIG TOM Posted June 15, 2011 Author #23 Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Talked to Jonas tonight...He and Greta are having a ball....They are heading toward Intercourse Pa. tomorrow and will be heading toward Oberlin shortly after that...He stated to me that at the end of brakeing , he is getting a small wobble in his front tire... At MD we checked the steering and all seemed tight and I know the front tire was balanced dead on........any thoughts....how about front fork air pressures ? if they are not the same, would that do it ?...I thought that I emptied both of them..... Edited June 15, 2011 by BIG TOM
bongobobny Posted June 15, 2011 #24 Posted June 15, 2011 Yes, you have to go thru Intercourse to get to Bliss. You can always detour and head for Blue Balls. I think that's near Bird-In-Hand...
Freebird Posted June 15, 2011 #25 Posted June 15, 2011 Tom, I would have him just press the schrader valves and make sure that both are completely empty. Other than that, it is likely that the steering heads still need to be tightened just a little bit. We can check it when he gets to my house. Did he say what days he might be in Oberlin?
