pandy · July 06, 2007, 04:21:06 PM

I meant in the same thread.

I merged the two threads, and I inserted the meeting info into your first post. I'm looking forward to the ride tomorrow!

sorry I can't make it, I'm working some overtime time tomorrow morning 4am to noon. We're really backed up in receiving and I have to sort through some things on hold in MRB because planning has started making noise

next time maybe... scratch, are there still weekly get-togethers that you go to in the south bay? I need to try and make it down one of these days, it's been forever!

I also look a little different than before

Ugh, I just got home. I'll set an alarm, but someone call me at 10:30 or so, just in case.

Also, while procrastinating on getting an exhaust hangar bolt, last weekend after the BAGS ride I noticed some cracking where the muffler meets the pipe, so I'll bring my car instead.

pandy · July 07, 2007, 08:42:08 AM

That tat is BAD@$$, 70!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mmm...huh? I just woke up from my after-church nap... Glad you guys had a good ride!

Carb synchronization - it would only take me 15 minutes to do the actual job, one hour from seat off to seat-back-on (well, maybe only a half hour). So, any afternoon, after work (5pm) this week would be great.

Andy - Awesome! And, sadly the weekly meets kinda faded out, but we now have a monthly meet, Sportbike Nights put on B.A.R.F. by Santa Clara Cycle Accessories @ Kal Barbeque in Sunnyvale the last Wednesday of every month.

That's squidly even when driving a car.

pandy · July 07, 2007, 06:06:44 PM

Yeah...that sanjay's pretty squidly

WildBlue · July 07, 2007, 06:21:05 PM

When I drive a car I always wear full leathers and a helmet. One can never be too cautious.

pandy · July 07, 2007, 06:22:27 PM

And GLOVES one would hope!!

nikux · July 07, 2007, 06:36:05 PM

Thanks ya all for coming up...I was bit uncomfortable before the ride planning and how would it all go, but I must say twas great

...thanks for the tips pandy...thanks for the lunch ceek...and thanks for leading us sanjay...

I am overwhelmed with the support of this group. For that matter it was reassuring to know that fuel starvation is common on freeways on GSs and that I should not worry everytime that happens and instead do prime.

Btw, How about this for the trip summary... this is actually skyline blvd.

pandy · July 07, 2007, 07:13:03 PM

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!! This is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoops, guess I missed this one.
Would've been neat to meet other GS riders. Maybe next time.

I did go on a ride today with some SBR members though.

Good people, good time.

Whoa, just noticed this.

I thought my bike was out of spec or something and needed maintenance, perhaps a valve adjustment or something... but a shop went over the bike already.
Now I'm glad I saw this... but it's a little disturbing. It's happened to me before, while I'm riding on the freeway, and one time on the city streets, where suddenly the engine chokes and dies before I can turn it onto reserve (if that helps). Then I'm stuck on the side for a few minutes before it will start back up and run fine again.

Good thing for the GS forums.

scratch · July 08, 2007, 10:52:52 AM

Do what Pandy used to do with her GS, and switch to Prime before riding off, and switch to On when you stop. It becomes a second-nature habit.

WildBlue · July 08, 2007, 11:52:07 AM

Interesting. My bike has never had fuel starvation problems. I guess 2002 GS's are just the best.
