Anyone else itching to get out there and ride?
« on: March 27, 2008, 07:28:37 am »
It's tenfold for me this year cause I got a new bike!!!  Well new to me :) I am now officially in the Triumph club.  Along with Shaman and Snerchie.  We should get some colours for out jackets and go out scaring old ladies and children!!! :)

A sprint eh..sweet! I love the look of the exhaust on that bike, It should make for a great season for you...I plan to get a bunch of riding in this year too with any luck...I rarely made it out last year due to a bunch of home renovations.
I hear the cops are really going to be looking for speeding bikes this summer.(more than usual)
I can't wait to get out though!!! Getting a little sick of xbox...heh..
Speaking of which anyone ever play halo3 online?

My gamertag is harryoltestes if anyone wants to have a game.

Dying for it.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to get both bikes out for some fresh gas at least this weekend.  Unless it rains.

Gee.. I've been out.. eat your heart out.!!  ;D  Of course with extra wheels I can ride in snow... I look like the Michelin man, all bundled up and my face covered.. that's so no one really knows who this idiot is... My engine keeps my legs warm.. just my hands get cold. It's still fun out there. When I return I have to sit in the garage for a while until I thaw so I can dismount though.

Starting to get the itch. Been trying to get the ole girl ready - new filters, oil, hoops on the way, and a PCIII for this year. It's kind of amazing how dirty it gets even though it was covered up in a garage all winter.  I'm not a fan of cold temps or dirty roads but we should be good to go soon enough.

Boost it with the car! :)  I'm still waiting to go pick mine up!  I was gonna today but the guy I bought it off wasn't home :(  This week I'll be on it.  I did get to watch them skipping the sleds out a Louborough though.  Anyone else see that today?  Haven't done that for years.  Its a ton of fun.  As long as you don't sink it :)

It'll run if I boost it but the battery is not taking a charge, I'll have to get a new one.

Fuel injection and dead batteries don't mix.
