yo whats the best place to get my bike serviced on LI? its time for my first service at 600miles, im at like 550 :: and need somewhere thats not only going to service the bike, but adjust a few things to the way they should be as opposed to "just barely meeting standards". my choke lever blows, the cable is ridic loose and has a ton of play, and i cant fix it unless i take off the fairings, and im not lookin to do that yet, so its still under warranty and i want them to do it right this time. I'm not sure if the rearsets are supposed to be loose but my right one is wobbly a whole ton. but yea where can i get my baby service? i would love to do it myself using the DIY but i dont have the tools/time/experience/money to fix it when i mess it up.

All you really need for the rearset and fairings is s $5 metric hex key set. Actually they r in the toolkit under the pillion. I got my 600 miles service at crazy freddy's for 175. Cross bay motorsports is closer to you on sunrise highway in Brentwood I believe.

PS. You should definitely at least tighten the rearset before riding to the stealership

Good ride today. We met up at Captree, rode up across the Robert Moses bridge with wild cross wind up to SSP and to sagtikos / sunken meadow parkway up to kings park. Pulaski rd through nissequogue state park (loony bin). Got on sunken meadow rd west where I promptly dumped the bike in the first turn. Came at it much too fast straightened out and scrubbed pfff most of my speed but ass soon as the front wheel hit the sand all over the outside of the turn I dropped it. Was prob doing 10mph and slid 10ft across the sandy pavement. Got right up, unhurt. Was wearing textile jacket and jeans. Icon leg armor under jeans and icon back protector. Jeans ripped a bit at the knee bit didn't really notice. Slid on my hip which was unprotected bit the jeans were fine. Little minor rash on my forearm through the jacket and jammed my finger. Glad I was atgatt. Blinker broke off and cracked fairings. All 3 fairings scraped. Once the bike started up we headed to ashoroken. Then snake hill rd to Loyd neck. Woodbury rd south to stillwell woods. Cut through sweet hollow rd down to ssp and parted ways. Definitely had a good time. Looking forward to next ride.

Was really good to meet you Zach.. sorry abuot the drop but thank god you were okay.. that turn was bad enough even without the sand.. I hit the brakes pretty hard right behind you right before you I saw you.
The rest of the ride was great.. you really know some twisties.. my buddy John was loving the whole deal as you saw. Definately will meet up again.. and I want to one day own a home in Asharoken.. great views.

Cool sounds it was a good time guys.
Sorry to hear about your drop Zach, but good to hear that you're alright though. I wish i could have made it out, my bike is a little bit past 600 miles and I want to get her serviced before I do any more big riding. Aside from that I hadn't checked the forum in a few days anyway so that was my bad. I've been doing a lot of riding around here lately and have become a lot more comfortable with the bike. I take roads like 25/middle country road, 97/nicholls road, and 16/portion road. I can definitely feel an improvement in my riding so I feel I should be fine on which ever roads we take. Last time I went out with Zach I was a little easy on the throttle because I was still unsure of how it responds to a lot of throttle. Lately I've been alright with higher speeds and keeping up with traffic on different roads so I think I'll be fine on which ever roads we end up riding on next time. It just takes me a while to speed up sometimes for some reason... it might still be my over cautions throttle habit.

nice, good work. the cement is for the cracks? (just asking bc idk how these things work)
I'm still waiting to take the bike to crossbay motorsports, was supposed to call today but i had a really frustrating day with classes today... but on the other I hand brought the bike to campus and got a ton of compliments. (but now im at like 625 miles on the bike and dont want to break 700 before i get it serviced) how long does the servicing usually take? because im not lookin forward to takin the car back to school after today haha

damn im jealous. im still waitin for my first servicing, its been raining and i had to reschedule my appointment for wednesday. i havent taken the bike out lately because I dont want to pass 700 miles before the first servicing. i've still been a little bit hesitant to just use WOT on the bigger streets when im acclerating, i feel like the bike will just fly out from under me. so there have been a few cars that have tried to race me and they usually just fly passed me because im not really lookin to race anyone or anything yet. i guess im too overcautious.

Bumped into Diane on the way home from work. She is easy to spot with the flames. Attempted helmut to helmet communication at the light....FAIL. Lol, think she understood "forum" though.

got the bike serviced finally
i suck at riding on roads that require more than 55mph bc the spedo on these things suck and i have no idea how fast i am really going and because the wind resistance is a little bit ridiculous considering i weigh 135, but im fine with my backpack on, kind of helps weigh me down. i doubt ill be up for 9 30 tomorrow, also idk how i feel about 500's bc i was barely able to keep up with zach on his 250. ive seen 2 250's at my school, red and blue, wanted to see who owned them but had to get to class. maybe i can find out this week

That is a great pic.. you do some really nice ride Ducati.. wonder if I could handle such a long ride.. Are you planning anything around Nassau County soon? It's starting to find good times to ride for me lately.. I've been riding to work though.. man is it cold in the mornings...

We'll definitely rode soon. MTB and climbing get added onto the priority list in fall though so it makes for a busy season.

Thanks a lot, Zach. Hopefully, I could get there, take a pic, and make it back to Jericho in 1 piece to post my duck pic here this weekend =D
Hopefully, I could become "Kate #2" - making it to NYC someday. Winnie (still novice after 200+ miles) |

Hi Kelly,
Yup, I've been practicing within 10 miles of Jericho once a week. Still very bad in turning, especially 90 degree type, always early apex, dropped my bike on the left 2 weeks ago during turn since I was heading to the curb again while turning, instead of jump up the curb like last time, i braked, bike dropped, my friend was there blocking the traffic from behind. It's not a crash, just dropped, got few bruises. Now my bike is perfectly balance - cracked left and right fairings =p |

I think if I stay riding in a slow pace (around posted speed limit), plan out everything, i should be ok. 2 weeks ago, I was following my friend too close (according to my ability of course) and we didn't plan any route, and he made an impromptu left turn on to a road, I didn't brake enough, and followed by turned in too early and started to lose the turn and I pulled the brake and dropped... I thought I was up to "speed" (normal biker), but I was wrong. I would definitely love to have group ride, just afraid that I would take away other's fun since I am slow. |

Thanks for the advice, Ducatiman. I will try to control myself not to crave for the Duck =p
My weekend practice would be either within my neighborhood (few blocks radius) in residential area or ride to Center Island. If anyone see a rider with light blue jacket and a lowered green 250R, please don't think that I am rude, because whenever I've seen other biker, they would give me "hi" hand signal, but my balance is not that good so that I wouldn't free up my hand to "hi" back. My way of "hi" would be turned my head and quick look at you =p |

As long as you are going more than about 7 or 8 mph, the motorcycle keeps itself upright...no hands required. A head nod is a perfectly acceptable greeting.
What's the planting fields? I ride 25A and north A LOT, but not usually Nassau since it gets kind of congested. |

What's that little biker hut on 25A around Fort Solonga / Centerport? Heading east its right on a deep left bend and right before a deep right at the marina that usually has sand in it. I always see bikes over there but forget to stop and check it out. That place any good?
