Okay, I am bummed w/ the weather forecast. I know these forecasters don't know jack, but if rain does prevent the Bike Night from happening on Tues. , then I propose we move it to Wed. just for this week.

My reasoning is entirely selfish. I finally have freed up some time to go and it might get rained out. I would also like to meet a lot of the new faces and the old (that forgot I still ride on the street

).

So, let me know what you think of my proposed plan.

I had the same idea. But then I just took off my front wheel to get my tire changed tommorrow and in the process I noticed that my rear tire is almost 2/3 worn. I should have driven to the BBQ. I can't waste the 120 miles round trip when I have a track day next week with no hope of getting a new tire by then.

Oh well. I'll just work on my braking and turn-in since the front tire is new and take it easy on the main striaght (the only time I'm upright). I guess I can just follow Mark around on the Baby Hawk.

I could just steal Ernie's bike and make him ride on the bike. It's the only biek that really has enough power for 2.

I'll be there either day...Kruz bring the gloves

Oh shit....thanks for reminding me. I'll be there around 7'ish with the gloves?

Anyone have an extra rearstand they want to lend me. I really need to tighten up my chain and the F4i is occupying the one rear stand I have.

t
I know...it's tough being me, but I have a logistics problem with the two bikes.

The F4i has no kickstand so it needs to be on the rearstand. I was considering buying another stand and thought it would make sense to get a front stand. Although after reading up on it, front stands alone are not that stable. They recommend always using the rear stand in conjunction with the front. I was looking at the Pitbull Newfront that lifts from the stem.

I'd like to keep the F4i on the front stand while it's not in use so I can use the rear stand as needed. I figure with chain maintenance and such I will use it twice as much.

Are there any cheap...non-stand options to hold the F4i upright. No I am not leaning it against the wall or tieing it down.

:confused

Alrigth... I talked with DanO, he cut me a good deal on a rear M1. That means I'll be at strats Wed, and I have plenty of tire to waste since I'm going to be replacing it Thur. or Fri. (i.e. a couple brunouts and some rear wheel slides).

Hey Cherry...
I've got my stock takeoffs from the F4i. Only about 2000 miles on them. No burnouts or power slides.

I offered them both to Vcook for $100, but he had just ordered new rubber.

Interested?
