Sorry I was confusing.
For the haunted ride thing I meant the weekend of the 29th since it sounds like a lot of people can't ride this Saturday. But for this Sunday, I'd be up for a ride... But as to where I do not have any ideas |

Skyline drive route looks pretty interesting... i know the part of skyline drive right off 287 near oakland/hawthorne is pretty sweet.

So it was just me and Boosted this time. We explored the area and rode until we ran out of road(twice). Definitely some good riding.
I just crossed the 7500 mile mark, so I'm going to have do my service. Depending how long that takes I might have to sit the next few out. |

It was an adventure to say the least. We'll have to do it again, minus the 3 foot wide roads, the offroading and possible motorcycle cop. Oh and less traffic would be nice too

Let see if there's any interest in these events,
NJ Tech Day? NJ Track Day? I was looking at http://www.tonystrackdays.com/index.cfm . For next season of course. If anyone has other venues or knows a club we can get a discount with speak up! |

Definitely interested in both, could probably host a tech day at my place (since I have a huge garage and every tool known to man in it) if there's enough interest. Just would need a week or 2 notice so that I can make sure the garage isn't full of cars that need to be worked on.
As far as track goes, I plan to hit the track next season for sure. I am eyeing up Team Promotion (http://www.teampromotion.com/). They seem to have a lot more tack days at NJMP than tony's. Prices are similar, actually cheaper if you plan to only do a few. Bike needs some work for track prep, but I've got all winter |

Is it required? No. The only reason to justify doing these two things together is really that you're already pulling things apart, why not, BUT it is more involved. Shimming the needles won't affect the butterfly valves (which is what you're synchronizing). By shimming the needles, all you're doing is raising them which means you're adding more fuel to your mixture.

First would be that with my exhaust I can't set the rear brake lever exactly where I want it, its a bit low. But again that's because the area p high mount race exhaust bends up higher than a stock or "normal mount" exhaust. It's just one of those things where I really have to push down farther with my toe to hit the rear brake, its just not right there at my toe like stock. Second, isn't really a complaint, but just know you'll lose the functionality of the rear brake light with MOST rear sets. The spring system with is use with stock rear sets won't attach. Although you can just get a pressure switch to fix all this (I haven't got around to ordering one yet). Now the good! I like the position, I personally think it's more comfortable. Lowered my knees down the tank a bit, so my knees no longer rest on that awkwardly placed crease on the tank. Although I'm short so I don't know if it'd get someone taller's knees down that far. You're not going to be like holy crap I need to be an acrobat to use these things, but you'll notice it first few times. Does force you to use your knees to grip the tank a little, but with stock handle bars you're not super aggressive or anything like that. No regrets getting them. Next time we ride hop on my bike to feel the positioning. Over the winter probably going to get clip ons, then I'll be nice and aggressive I'm sure I've missed something here, so if you have a more specific question, just ask and I'll do my best |
