It was a great time last year and I am looking forward to this year.

 

I did RSVP already.

I plan to leave Milwaukee right after work on Friday and be there just in time to set up my tent in the dark.

 

If you plan any projects or need any specific tool or stuff just let us know, some one will have it.

 

I have a fresh bottle of rum to make my RUM balls..........

I'll be there, I have a tent (I think I can fit it on the bike). When it gets closer I'll see if Jeff wants to ride out there together on Fri.

 

I also have RSVP'd

As long as you can put up with my marshmallow butt. It will take 2 or 3 gas stops to go the 180 miles.

 

I get lousy mileage pulling the trailer, ya that's it, its the trailers fault. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Ya know I'll be there. Is there anything I need to bring? Food, tools, etc.?

[OrlinEngh]

I have a set of Gauges that I use for syncing carbs if someone has a carbtune they want to bring, other than that we can see what others want to do to their bikes and see what all we need. A volt meter mine burned up along with the pickup.

As far as food goes maybe a dish to pass for Saturday evening if you have the room to bring one.

Looking forward to seeing all of you.

I'll bring a digital VOM and an inch/pound torque wrench, in case there is any clutch work done.

[Cheesehead in flatland]

I'm planning on attending. Hope to learn a lot!

[Flyinfool]

I will have my Carb Tune, that always seems to be popular tool at any MD. I will also bring my electrical box for any wiring jobs that need to be done.

 

Anything else that someone may want to do, post it up. Someone may have the needed tool.

My "wish" list includes installing a new horn/wiring and likely new brake/throttle cable due to adding risers. Don't know if my carbs need tuning or not?

You will not need to change any cables when installing risers unless you are going over 2 inch risers.

I put the links to the area Motels in the Meet and Eats, you may want to give them a call to make sure you can get a room, If there are enough people that want to stay in a Motel I will go and see if we can get a better price.

I put the 1-1/2 inch Baron risers on and the cables are a tad short. I'm not real happy with the possibility of the throttle locking wide open when the bars are over all the way to the right. I tested that in neutral and the throttle took off. I'd hate to have that happen while in gear, say in a parking lot while turning at a slow speed.

 

That aside, I'm pleased with the difference they make so far, rode a couple hundred miles and neck ache was mostly gone.
