Gave Bill a list of stuff to do and he did well as always with his faithful helper Aussie the wonder dog
Check front and rear brakes and replaced rear brake pads, cleaned caliper and bleed all systems
Complete Rear end and final drive service check spare wheel's bearings for taxi tire when ready
Replaced the bushings in the shocks (should help crossing the expansion joints in the road)
Tightened the steering head nut
fixed some loose bolts behind the shocks on the bag supports
lubed throttle cables
fixed the liner in a saddlebag
Cant remember what else
oh yeah, he changed the oil and filter in the bmw with rotella T6
I averaged 36-37 mph on the ride this weekend, pretty damn good for an interstate
I think I am going to need the neutral switch replaced next IZ as when I start bike and move out of garage to driveway the bike neutral light wont stay on and if I put down kickstand bike cuts out Its a big job requiring empty oil and coolant 3 hrs or more It doesnt happen at most traffic lights usually 1st thing starting in am only
Bagelboy sorry we didnt meet, enjoy the visit with our BigBF

Thanks, he's here now. Unfortunately, everyone in the world is off on weekends and goes riding. I have off during the week and go riding, therefore, I never actually get to meet or know of any other Valkyrie riders. Of course, if any of you are ever near Saugerties/Woodstock area, I know an excellant place for you to grab some great food. Went up Rt 28 yesterday to Cooperstown. Beautiful Day!

No, the place is different each year. This year is June 10-15 Roanoke, VA. Come on down, I'm sure there will be several coming from NY, NJ, and surrounding area.  |

I had two riders come up from Roanoke area for the ride this past weekend. It's a 8 hr ride from your place (plus gas stops I dont know how long you stop when riding) I tend to be "minimalist" at stops to the annoyance of some friends  |

Sounds like it will be ready for a ride to VA. See you there. |
