Looks like Trail Ridge Road has reopened for the season. Who's up for a ride? Approx 12,000 foot mountain pass with plenty of snow surrounding it. Warm sunshine and dry roads! Streams flowing. Best time to go !!! If you haven't done it you just can't imagine !!! Bring warm clothes and helmet to stay warm.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #2 on:** June 03, 2006, 11:03:22 PM »

Just damn near any day except this next weekend. Do you have time during the week? What about Thursday? I'm as open as you get.

I might be able to go Thursday. Let you know after I get off work today!

Gordon,
I like the way you think. Beer, the universal carb solvent. And Pabst Blue Rednecks to boot. Just picked up my cold 30 pack.

Gordon, Terry, Heffay,

Where is everyone? I'd be coming from the Springs through Denver headed north. I'm flexible. I would like to try to get an early start (let rush hour die down unless we need to head out sooner) from here. Stop in Aurora to catch up with my buddy Howard (VTX1800) then head north. Possibly meet up with another in Firestone somewhere along the way. Lunch is Estes Park perhaps then RMNP? Open for suggestions.

Jerry

Gordon · « **Reply #7 on:** June 05, 2006, 02:07:35 PM »

I'm in! The earlier the better for me.

If you're going up through Firestone, I may just have to meet up with you in Estes Park. I'll probably take 36 from Boulder up to Estes. Or we could hook up in Lyons if you know somewhere to meet, say 11 am at the latest? Like I said, the earlier the better for me.

Heffay, Terry, you guys gonna make it?

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #8 on:** June 05, 2006, 03:04:29 PM »

Gordon,

Red Hill Motorcycle Works in Lyons. We'll shoot for 11am. I'll see if my bro in law in Firestone wants to go and I'll have him meet us if so. PM me with your cell number just in case there are any issues with old motorcycles along the way. Same for you other guys - ok??? Looking forward to meeting other posters for the first time.

Jerry

well, i don't think i would be riding my sohc4 as the last ride really got some nasty noises brewing... think i need to swap the motor out since i have an extra one and all.

i'll also be able to give a definite tomorrow or so... starting a new remodel tomorrow and will be scheduling then.

Too bad about the 350, but isn't it nice to have choices?

Hope you can make it!

I dont know. I want to go to G/J and se my son but I do have to much #$%* to do. I'd be on the 360 and you speed freaks would most likely leave me in the dust.

I just dont know yet. Is it happenin on thurs still?

Hey All,
I'm in for the ride. I don't have my 500, 550 or 750 running yet. I will ride the Wing though if you'll let me tag along.

Paul

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #13 on:** June 05, 2006, 08:49:00 PM »

Paul,
A ride's a ride. Worse comes to worse I'm on my H----y. Main thing is we get together and do a ride. Old Hondas always need some type of attention. Lets put a final head count together Wednesday and get phone numbers.
Jerry

78 k550 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 05, 2006, 09:11:05 PM »

Sound's good to me.
I'm working on the 750 tomorrow night to see how close I can get it. I need a petcock for a 750F.

Paul

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #15 on:** June 05, 2006, 11:37:42 PM »

Paul,
I'd let you have mine if I could find a new one. I was at Boulder Bike Works a couple weeks ago. They have multiple K's and 1 nasty Blue 75 750F tank sitting on top of a K. Not sure if it had a petcock. Think so. 651-3787. See you Thursday.
Jerry

I'm pretty close to Steele's, but be working in Boulder today. I'll see if I can score one today. I don't think I can get a rebuild kit from Honda anymore.

Paul

heffay · « **Reply #17 on:** June 06, 2006, 03:20:43 PM »

boulder bike works is in longmont by the way... i also advise against BBW because they seriously overcharge!

hey paul, pm me... i need to talk to you

78 k550 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 07, 2006, 02:48:41 PM »

Rx,
Thank's I looked at it today and it is the cheap plastic line I put on. I'm going back to rubber line's. I cant wait till tomorrow.

Paul

So far we have 3 SOHC4 guys (Gordon, Paul, myself) and my VTX buddy.

Anyone else. Let us know.

heffay · « **Reply #20 on:** June 07, 2006, 04:41:22 PM »

i'll be there... gawdy crotch rocket and all

gonna meet gordon and 78 k550 here in boulder as they come thru.

Gordon · « **Reply #21 on:** June 07, 2006, 07:45:33 PM »

Our fellow Rusted Nut Old Bob will be with us, too!

See you at Red Hill's at 11!

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #22 on:** June 07, 2006, 10:45:57 PM »

Looks like 6 of us. I got a little worried when I fried my solid state reg/rect today trying to make everything work better. Thought I might have to ride my spare bike, the Fat Boy. Found my old reg & rectifier, hooked em up, did 65 miles at 80+ and came back with a battery that had more charge than when I left. 11am it is. Guess it won't be hard to spot each other.
Jerry

78 k550 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 08, 2006, 06:13:40 AM »

Look's like a good turnout. I'll be on my Wing. Still an SOHC

Paul
