Hey MN guys;

Any of you interested in getting together for a day ride at the end of March if the weather cooperates?

It would be fun to meet some of you and get in some miles in preparation for the new riding season.

I am thinking sometime during the last week of March. Let's pick a day from March 27th-April 3rd. I am off that week so I will definitely be doing some riding :D.

Rick
 
I'm upin St Cloud..probably wont make the spring ride..but a regular bi monthly "run" would be cool..I have relatives in the cities and get down their quite a bit...or I hear theirs some nice rods up north:D

Hey, that sounds like a good time for a ride to me. When I get done with fixing this Sebring in my garage and have time to do my fork seals and carbs (by this weekend I hope) I'll really be ready for a ride. I've been riding since last Tuesday, with the bike in the same condition I put it away last year. Still works ok, but it really needs the maintenance.:) I should be open for any date between the 27th and the 3rd unless I get a couple of tuning jobs scheduled, then they'll take precedence of course, gotta make some money too.

Dan, let's pick a spot between our homes and take a nice run. I live in White Bear Lake.
 
I've got a real good place in my head, I just have to look it up on the map (too many small town names are similar). I'll get back to you a little later today, I've got to get that Sebring done and out of my garage. So, when I take a break this afternoon, I should be able to get it posted up.:D
 
Great!

I look forward to getting out on the road. I will probably take a short ride tonight.

Yeah, heading south again......one of these days we'll get you on your bike and riding.....haven't seen any proof that you really ride it yet:D.

Hey Rick, there's a wide spot in the road on 169 between Milaca and Onamia, called Page, which is almost perfectly in the center 81.2 miles for me and 84.5 miles for you. There's a place called the Fish House Store there. How does that sound?

Oh yeah, DetroitDieselMan, that won't be too far from you either, we haven't set a date for this yet.

Ok, I'll accept that picture as proof that you rode last year, since you're wearing the gear.........:D
We'll go find the twisties after we get out of that swamp/farm country, I've got several possible routes planned, one of them involves riding east to play at the St. Croix, just haven't decided yet.....:D

Sounds good to me. If there is a day that works for DDM that would be great.

I am off that whole week, so my schedule is pretty flexible.


Dan, I will pm my cell # to you for ease of planning as the day draws near.

Rick
 
Hey Dave, nice picture. Wait, isn't that the picture you posted 2 years ago?:D

Dan, I just mapped out the location and it looks like a nice ride up to Onamia. DDM, we will be right in your back yard; let's do it. I could meet up with you in Milaca.

Rick
 
Ok, it's official.

Dan and I are hitting the road this coming Thursday.

I am meeting him up around Milaca. It's going to be a beautiful warm day if any of you other MN guys wants to join us.

Rick
 
We already know BonzaiDave is heading south to Texas, so he's out, how about Dave8338 or some of those people that put their names into our little MN GS Riders group? C'mon people, we know you really want to ride....:D
 
Just got done rebuilding forks, carbs, made one shim adjustment, the bike is ready for the ride pretty much as long as the petcock holds out (it's iffy, never should have tried switching it to prime). Any more MN riders out there, our central meeting point for Thursday is in Page, a blip on the road between Milace and Onamia. I'm figuring I'll be there around 9:30 or so. I'll have a metal flek silver helmet, red jacket, and probably be sitting around drinking coffee.:D
 
Well, there will be two of us there. Hard to miss my blue 79 750L. I have a silver helmet as well, and a black riding jacket (might have to lose it if it is as warm as today:D.

I tried getting Terry's bike up and running today but it looks like he will have to wait. He has the exact same bike as I do. Put in new coils and got her running well but it looks like the petcock is on its way out. Could be other issues but we won't have time to address them all.

I was so excited we got all four of his cylinders firing that I accidently touched the pipe to long when I was checking to see if it was firing:eek: Got a nice burn on my middle three fingers. I try not to do that more than once a riding season:(

Dan, see up near Milaca.

Rick
 
I'm game if people are headed south and I have time. I don't check the forum that often so feel free to email me at gabe@rallybimmer.com
Does anybody arround have a shim collection? I am thinking of adjusting my 78 750 as it has never been done since I bought it...and who knows before that.
thanks all!
