Don't forget the International Motorcycle Show at the Dallas Convention Center this Friday, Sat., Sun.  Be sure to drop by the Ride for Kids Booth.

Sunday (16th) we are gonna meet at Al Lambs at 10am. KSU at 10:30 to ride to the staging area for the Garland Motorcops for Kids Toy Run benefiting the Shrine Hospital.  $10 or a new, unwrapped toy.  Live bands, auctions, food, vendors, an obstacle course (makes u look bad when you watch the cops ride it).  About a 45 mile ride with others of the same mind.  Good cause, good ride, good company.  C ya Sunday. L

I'll post details of the ride on the 29th soon.

fifteen grand and fifteen miles does not make you a biker!

Mark, I'll have to miss the meeting. My bike is down for maintenance. Have a good meeting.

[Houdini]

Victor, was it the dampeners?

Chuck

[Six Guns]

Chuck, I don't know yet. I will post when I find out what was causing that noise that we heard on wrench day. I ordered a set of dampeners today from Pruor. I hope it's something easy to fix. I have used fully synthetic gear oil in the rear end starting at around 3000 miles. I don't race the bike although  I do like going fast.  Thanks for asking....

[Wanderer]

I will have the winning ticket to the latest Roland Sands creation to benefit kids with brain tumors with me this evening at the meeting along with the freebees from Al and the gang at Dallas Honda.

See you there. If you can not make the meeting and are going to attend the motorcycle show, please buy your ticket locally. Otherwise, follow the link and buy online. Great bike, even better cause! ~Jeff
