Mid-Ohio Vintage Days July 25-27 2008

I think you can pay for the ticket on the web site and have it left at will call.
That is what i did the first time i went. Roy

I'll be off the board next week - we are going "up north" prior to heading down to Ohio.

I am looking forward to meeting you at Mid-Ohio - we will be there next Friday!

It is almost time to go and i am not ready yet.

I have been working on the grill today. I had to make a new one as the Weber gave out on me after 20 years. This one will be heavy duty so it can take some abuse. I will be able to cook bacon and eggs to go with my coffee.

Roy

I talked to kawboyroy from Canada and he is going to try and make the event.

We haven't seen him in two years and it will be nice to see him.

I got my ticket ordered yesterday and found out there is now a $2.50 charge added to the ticket for leaving it in will call.....WTF is that all about?

I spent yesterday getting the 2 bikes I plan on bringing ready. I decided to get ambitious and clean the pilot jets on the KZ900, those suckers were all plugged solid. Now that they are clear the bike idles nicely at 1000 rpm and sounds really good. It should make the bike easier to sell. I also had to change the rear brakes on the 80 KZ650 F-1. Seems one of the rear brake shoes decided to fall apart causing the rear wheel to drag slightly. On the plus side of things I had a new set of shoes in stock, gotta love spare parts.

I loaded some stuff yesterday and have been to Wal-Mart to get some other supplies. Picked up the trailer this morning and now back at the house to load you all some chairs to sit in.

Now if i can get there without sitting my new canopy on fire i will be good to go. Roy

Family has been in town and I am really enjoying their visit so I have not been able to break away and load anything yet. I plan on leaving tomorrow so I guess I should get to it soon . See you guys there. Here is my number if needed Shane 585-739-9611.

I cant belive i actually got all the work done to the Z1, so i will be riding her out there. Im leaving tommorow also, so ill see all ya guys out there.

I made it to Mid-Ohio in one piece. Jeff and Roy both made it as well. I saw Jeff but just missed Roy. The real fun starts tomorrow. I saw that Can Am is giving demo rides fo the new Spider. I am all over that! I will keep you guys updated on the adventures. Hope to see you all there

Glad to hear the advance crew has arrived safely. I look to be there mid-morningish. I want to do a quick oil change to the 650 before I leave. The 900 is ready to load and is running great, I rode it around the block this morning. I'm looking around the house to find any parts I have but don't really need to bring along. See you guys in a few hours.

Made to and from Mid-Ohio on Saturday. Thanks to Roy, Shane, and Jeff for the free food and hospitality tent. Thanks to Rob, Bob, Bob, Barbera, Roy and the others for the great company. I hope to have my 900 done and bring it to show off next year and bring some parts to sell. Thanks again to everyone!

Later, Doug

Just got home and i hope everyone made it home safe.


A lot to say about the show later.

FUN WAS HAD BY ALL!!!!!!!!!!
