On the corner of Lincoln & Colorado

We can ride to the Rock Store after, if you haven't seen enough Harldleys yet.

C'mon SoCal Riders, let's have a big turnout!

I'm good for breakfast, may have to play the Rock Store by ear tho.

My son Alex and I are planning on being there. He will be on his Buell Blast--hopefully the POS won't break down during the ride, I always bring tools though, so if it does break down, just keep going, we'll catch up at the Rock Store...

I can only do breakfast, too many things going on to spend the whole day - sorry.

Patton, thanks for the tip.
I will add rope to my toolkit.

Rope in tool kit is smart.
My rope under the sidecover not-so-smart.

Goes without saying whenever storing anything under a side cover to positively assure there's no pressure against the inside surface and that the grommets remain snugly attached to the cover tabs.

I have run thousands of highway miles without ever losing a side cover, but always with the oem airbox, and with good tight grommets. Never a problem. But dread recommending storage of anything under the side cover to others for fear of their doing so and losing a side cover.

To be on the safe side, would urge not carrying anything underneath the side cover, and using one of the positive attachment methods (hitchpin clip or wire through tab centerline) to help prevent loss of side covers, especially if running pods. Might even help deter the casual sidecover opportunity parking lot thief.

Good Luck!

I'm in for 10 AM

Thanks for the headsup wagonmaster, I am in the middle of a sh!t storm so I will not be able to make it. Besides, bike is trippin, all 3 of em. Does it ever end? Someone tell me it does.

Don't yell at me but I will try to make it my front end is apart.
Needed to replace steering bearings and fork seals.
Glad I had a parts bike cause when I took the forks apart it looked like somebody put dirt in the fork tubes all grunge up.
Now I got to clean and paint the lower fork tubes and a bunch of other crap.
But I will try to make it.

I don't want to hear any excuses,



That's what I found on Thursday night two rides ago and I made it.

Well we had a great time today, the weather was BEAUTIFUL. We meet in Santa Monica for breakfast, I was the first one their, can you believe it. Rudy showed up with some fresh forks right when we were going in to eat. The ride to the Rockstore was fun, a lot of slow cars. The Rockstore wasn't too clouded, there was some cool bikes. We met a cool local guy with a hot Honda motor in a BSA frame and badges. We ended up riding back down to PCH with him and he and I left Joe and Rudy in the dust and Tim, Grant and the others left back to their neck of the woods earlier. It was real FUN tearing up the canyon with the " Honda". Here's some pix, sorry most of them are of the trick Honda.
