The date is set. Saturday 30th. of May 2009 at Don´s place. You can see it listed at the calendar and sign on. Looking forward to see you there - I will stay at the Oberlin Inn if I manage to make a reservation. Ride safely.

You are absolutely right. The cu.inches on motor sizes are better than the liters. Still think that the meter system is better than the inches - but that is "like you so rightly stated" because I grew up with it. I would defence your system all the way if I was brought up with it. And by the way - Thanks for your nice reply regarding my visit in next May. Hope I will get to meet you at Freebirds. Take care and ride safely.

Sorry I hurt your feelings :hihi: Wanna talk about metric system against inches Now I´m in for it :duck:

Thanks Dynodon. Actually I do not think 70 US$ is to much, just not familiar with your prices so I am kind of lost here. But you have straightened me out some so I am getting the picture. Seems like my internet browsing gave me the right prices. Now all I need is to hear from you guys regarding travelling/riding routes.

Well,,,,, I took a ride last night and it was around 8°C and almost clear sky. Never could understand why the guy named this country of ours Iceland:think::think: Supposed to be warm throughout the weekend so I might get a ride or two before packing the bike up for winter. Remember that I took my last ride last winter the 3rd. of December. O.K. I´ll admit it - It was freezing and I still remember the slipping of the tire on the ice cold asphalt,,,,,but still there was no snow - just cold as he,,$%&.

Dear fellow members. I am one happy guy now. Just booked and paid for my airline ticket to USA the 26th. of May 2009 to attend "Freebirds Maintenance Day" and meet with all of you nice people. Heading back the 4th. of June. I am like a little kid waiting for Christmas - counting the days!! Can not express how much I am looking forward to this. My bike is in storage at motorcycle shop in Bearsville New York, ready for my arrival, tuned and lubed all through. Henry the nice gentleman in Woodstock NY. who sold me the bike will be picking me up at JFK and I will be spending a couple of days with him and his wife. Then on Friday morning I will hit the road for Oberlin Ohio. Estimate to arrive around 18.00 hours. Spend the weekend with you guys and then head back to Warren Ohio to meet Jim and the guys at the dealership(Yamaha of Warren) who sold me the bike I have in Iceland. Plan to drop by his place without notice and say hello. Think it will be more fun that way. Great guys there who have stretched out many times regarding accessories and spareparts for me and my riding buddys here in Iceland. Most likely spending a night there and taking a slow ride with lot of stops on my way back to New York riding through Pensylvania and hopefully find a Amish region and stop by and say hello so to speak. Question - Would I want to ride through Pocono Mountains in PA? When arriving in New York I will stay with my friend Henry for a couple of days and plan to take day rides upstate to Adirondak Park (Lake) as well as doing some neighbourhood riding in Woodstock. None of this is pinpointed except my arrival in New York and meeting you guys at Freebirds. The rest will be just roughly planned with all possibilities to change directions whenever I feel like it. If any of you guys have any suggestions then by all means speak out. My travelling plan is based on doing a little bit of web browsing as well as using Google Earth. So chime in and give this little Eskimo some suggestions and or guidance. Last but not least - Where would you guys recomend me staying in Oberlin for these two nights? Forget the tent - I am to spoiled for that and hate snakes! Read the other day an older post from someone who had been riding in the US and staying in small towns at 40 US$ motels. Is that possible? All I have found are 70 US$+ for the night. I am not picky regarding acomodation - all I need is a bed to sleep and a shower and I am happy. O.K.,,,,O.K.,,,, I know it is almost seven months but bare with me. I am just so exited. :dancefool::dancefool:

Hey Squeeze. Do they use the Torx in USA ? I know we have it all over Europe but as you might know then these guys in the US are not the first to jump on a new idea even though it works better :stirthepot::stirthepot:

Imagine - Maintenance Day on the white house lawn ! I don´t think I will make it for the chat since I am four hours ahead of you and working early in the morning. I will check on you guys before I go to sleep though. May the best black canditate win,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Way to go !!!!!!!!!!! Congratulation and ride safely. -
Ohh,,, the white stuff. We use that to keep our bath water from getting to warm. We just add a showel or two,,,,,,, Regarding snowmobile tracks we don´t use them. It is all about skills you know,,,,,,,,, :rotf::rotf::rotf: Were you based in Keflavik Nato base Glenn or just passing through?

You guys are just a bunch of "Starababa´s" - (polish for "very old ladies"). Here in Iceland we tough guy´s use gloves to keep our hands from getting to warm. :rotf::rotf:

Good news Don. Gotta go and book some flight tickets. Will most likely bother you guys in the not so far away future regarding advice on motels in PA, OH, and North Carolina. Gotta start doing some route planning. Really looking forward to see the famous POND and hear all the stories,,,,,:big-grin-emoticon: Is there a list one has to put his name on or something ?????

Yamaha does not hand out codes for their paint colors. They want to sell you the body parts ready for sky high prices. I hate it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:soapbox:

Little difficult to read - but a funny story.

Yes she knows - she was the demonstrator. Just love that girl

Don you should go for it. Even though these Indians are by many rated as troublesome bikes then they do have a high price tag. And also if you find out that it is to much of a work and hazzle to restore it you can always sell it. For me its a no loose situation. Looking forward to see it all chromed and shiny in the spring on maintenance day.

I saw a couple that looked better last night

Bought mine from the Yamaha dealer in Iceland. In USA many shops carry the Nolan helmets and comunication systems and you can also get it off eBay. For full information click the link. http://www.n-com.it/en/n-com/index.html
