Ok, so this thread is old and dusty but it has been read a few times. I'm in the Blakney area south of 485. Anyone else?

Hey guys,

I live and also have a service and repair shop in Indian Trail, it's a little south of 485 off of hwy74. It is good to see others near by, we should get together for a ride when it warms up!

Looks like we might need snowmobiles or studded tires for a few more days

Give a shout next time you head out if you want company Mark and Jeff (or any other Charlotte Tarheels).

I usually keep it between 70-75 on the highway. Though i"ve been known to go a few mph faster.

I am heading to the Adirondacks of NY to ride snowmobiles for 3 days next week!

Hope you guys have the weather straightened out by the time I get back.

Markcb750 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 05, 2010, 09:13:15 AM »

We are getting a ride together tomorrow at 12:30 starting at the 21South Restaurant on 74 in Matthews, anyone interested I'll be there, you know its me by the SOHC 4 I'll be on.

dhall57 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 06, 2010, 07:13:07 PM »

How did the ride go Markcb750. Did many SOHC riders show up? Im in Greensboro not to far from you, but I had to work all day. I hope all had a good day and a joyable ride.

Just John (Nikkisix) and I showed up. we did about 110miles out into Mt Pleasant and then to Red Oak, Oakborro, Stallins, Weddington, then split up & Home.

Johns first run sence some major repairs on his 78 hybrid. He has it running sweet.

I ran out of gas on the main with out warning and had to coast into a parking lot.

Lots of people walked up to talk to us, one shook our hands for keeping the classics running.

Well do it again in about a month, y'all come.

BTW: John has some interesting thoughts on DynaBeads...anyone thinking of looking to Kresgin for balance should listen real hard.

Nikkisixx · « **Reply #18 on:** March 07, 2010, 08:17:10 AM »

The jury is out on the ~~magic beans~~ I mean dynabeads. After we talked about your steering bearings and you mentioned a vibration when they where too loose, it started the gears turning. While I was replacing the fork seals last night, I turned the bars and found they had a natural detente in the middle

The "all balls" steering bearings are on the way.

Every second Tuesday (this Tuesday) is Euro bike night at Mac's Speed Shop. If you've never been to Mac's, they have really good BBQ, beer n such. There are usually 3-4 Japanese bikes there on Euro night as well, and while I would normally take my Triumph Tiger I'll be on the 350F or 750K this month. Imagine, if you can, a motorcycle event without V-twin belt drive hardleys. Hope to see y'all there!

Markcb750 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 08, 2010, 09:08:20 AM »

Tomorrow night looks good, what time you show up?

Nikkisixx · « **Reply #20 on:** March 08, 2010, 07:20:11 PM »

I'll be there between 6:00 and 6:30. Its the location on Sout Blvd.

magnus72 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 16, 2010, 10:47:32 PM »

I'm in Charlotte.

I dropped off for awhile, but I'm looking to get back into getting my 550 on the road again. I first need to transfer the title over before I put any more work into it. I'm looking to do that tomorrow and then I can start posting again to my rebuild thread.

Markcb750 · « **Reply #22 on:** March 17, 2010, 03:44:17 AM »

Welcome Back

Anyone interested in a monthly meet & ride at some local establishment.

Weekend?

Mark

Nikkisixx · « **Reply #23 on:** March 17, 2010, 06:12:09 AM »

Welcome back Magnus! Good luck at the DMV, in NC the DMV is a bureaucratic machine that can test men's souls.

I'm in for a regular SOHC ride, South 21 is a good spot for me. Also there is yet another local monthly meet for vintage bikes that starts April 15 in Gastonia at Freeman's Pub. If anyone is interested I can forward the flyer.

Not bike related per se, but I was thinking about going to the NHRA Spring Nationals at the Z-Max strip on March 28. One day tickets for "cheap seats" are $45, I would most likely go on Sunday. Info here: http://www.charlottemotorspeedway.com/dragway/tickets/nhra_4wide_nationals/

Mark, a regular ride would be great! I am trying to get my 550 back together in the next couple of weeks, wanted to go full out on my build but I just don't have the money right now and I need to ride!!!
Jeff

blackchromia · « **Reply #25 on:** April 07, 2010, 07:07:43 PM »

Hi Charlotte area riders,

A group of vintage riders is getting together this Saturday, April 10 at Fuel Pizza on Central around 11 AM to meet, eat, and ride. Stop by if you have the time. I won't be riding as mine is in pieces at the moment ready to be assembled.

Nikkisix, I'm also in Blakeney (Rea/Ardrey). Stop by and grab wrench and/or a beer!

Two wheel/Jeff, I'll be stopping by soon. I've had my heads at Victori Cycle Werks in Indian Land for 6 months waiting for the valves to be redone. Lot of excuses and still no joy. Hopefully you'll be able to help me out.

--Brian

Damn, I have to go to St Louis this weekend

Please let us know of other rides.

Markcb750 · « **Reply #27 on:** April 23, 2010, 04:54:27 AM »

I got my insurance bill this week, almost 600/year for my two bikes, No comprehensive/collision, this is double what it was two years ago.

Anyone else seeing this kind of pricing?

Nikkisixx · « **Reply #28 on:** April 23, 2010, 06:10:39 AM »

I was with Progressive and got hit with an increase this year. Called to ask why and they said "internal changes, nothing to do with you". Allstate has my business now, and gave me a slight decrease. I pay around $500 for three bikes.

Nikkisixx · « **Reply #29 on:** May 15, 2010, 05:11:58 AM »

It is a little late to mention, but the AMCA Southern National meet is this weekend in Denton. If you're in NC, this is in your back yard. Decent swap meet (lots of Indian, Harley, and Brit stuff), and several Jap bikes.

Locals represent! A couple of us are meeting in Charlotte around 8:30 and going to this on July 25. It had a good turnout last year (lotsa hd's ).
