Drove to GMR bottom and it was closed. Azusa side might be open. I'm gonna ask a friend to check for me.

Imma have to pass this time guys.
Still sick as a dawg and just now getting to dropping the fairings. Probably won't even get the chance to warm the bike up today. Been running around all day too not helping me get any better. Probably be spending tomorrow tuning the carbs and making a sync bottle etc.

Thanks for the offer on help Mike.

Just got my plate reflectors in today too. I have two extra if anybody needs them. I don't wanna get one of those stupid rear reflector tickets on GMR.

Also got the video camera mount to my RAM iphone mount so I can switch between video cameras and iPhone

Tomorrow is work on the bike day. Will have to make sure it's running tip top for the next ride. Hopefully I feel well enough to do that..

I see snow on the Corona mountains too out my window from Riverslide. Must be a good layer of snow up on GMR.

If it's snowy we should ride malibu. We can meet at ralphs on Olympic and Cloverfield right off the 10 west.

ninja250 · January 23rd, 2010, 06:48 PM

Doh!
I did drop the fairings and warm it up tonight even though I'm sick.
Tuning carbs is tricky. lol
I can't tell if I'm making any ground on the mixture screws or not. They're kinda funny to adjust.
Not to mention it's hard to reach them with the Shogun sliders in the way and the bike warmed up because of all the piping hot water hoses burning my fingers.

I'll have to play with it more tomorrow.
Best I can get is 3 seconds from 3000rpm to 1500rpm. Seems like I should be able to get it faster than that? Also I can only get it to do that after coming to a stop from moving. In the garage sitting for a minute it takes 4 second to go from 3000 to 1500.

What are the reflector requirements in CA?

ninja250 · January 25th, 2010, 06:12 PM

I dunno, I was told the fuzz was handing out reflector tickets up on GMR.
I'm pretty sure they meant the rear plate reflector. (The one I hacked off the day I got the bike lol)

Now I just stuck two of these on there and it's small and out of the way and I have a reflector on the back in case they try to play that game on me. I have two left if anybody needs some. I bought four on ebay for like $6 shipped and only used two. They screw right on to your license plate on the bottom two holes.

See Adrian's plate reflector in our pics earlier in the thread too.

Make sure you have your sidemarker reflectors too..
Most cops don't even know on the street but the cops up on GMR are there for one reason. Motorcycles and Honda rockets. There's nothing else back there besides a burnt canyon view and twisty roads for people to play on. Cops back there are there to ticket people playing and if you aren't caught playing they are educated on the laws of your play vehicle so they can get you that way.

Plate reflectors taken!

adri99an · January 25th, 2010, 08:51 PM

I remember when he/dick tagged me....he said, "Oh I see you have no rear reflectors"---I was like come on now!!!......he didnt care that I was also a civil servent.....a pure fix it hassle ticket.....

iggysmalls · January 26th, 2010, 08:59 AM

Do we need front reflectors? Did the cop cite a CVC (CMC...)? I'd be interested in reading it.
