I would love to come up, but it's a REALLY long drive when you add a 4 year old into the mix, and then there's the problem of what to do with him and the hubby when we're all out riding... all in all, not the best combination

well i removed the snorkel and shimmed the needles with and m3 washers. i used 1 washer and the low to mid range was bogging until i gave it 1/2 - wot so i added another washer a total of 2 on each carb still have the same prob. then i added .5 to each carb( i found an old jet kit for my atv that had an extra set of needles and flat washer with the c clip thingy) and still the same prob. i did notice when i pulled the spring out the washers got stuck(nothing crazy but still) some what to the white plastic thing thats in the spring. so im wondering if its that. and just to test i pulled the cover to the air box off and it seemed to run better.

I am thinking even if we get in a one - two hour ride it's good with me. Meeting folks is a good objective to me. We might not bbq but that doesn't mean we can't hit up some resturants... Or something.. But don't come on my account. If you bail though drop me a line so I know not to expect.
Again though rain or shine I am going to be up there.

Can we get a firm go or no go vote or something on whether the rally is happening? The chances of rain are actually getting higher (now at 50%) and the headcount is only 5 of us + a few others. And if it rains, I'm sure we'll lose a couple too... and BR might have run into a coupla snags. And I don't want people to come out because they feel obliged to. So, I hope you guys understand, but as much as I love meeting new people, I'm not too keen on driving 7 hours in the rain for a small meet. As of now, I'm leaning towards a cancel/reschedule. |

Just checked Weather.com and it is still calling for 40% chance.

I think you guys should still go - it's a great opportunity to meet folks that you've been chatting with and who ride the same bike. Even if you can't go for much of a ride, it's more about the people than the roads IMHO. And personally, I think it's kind of mean to say 5 folks isn't worth it, but that's just me. If I didn't have a 4 year old, I would be there in a heart beat, even if it would just be me and Sunny and Phil....

Plus the plans with BR, Buffalony and I have changed so we no longer have an emergency vehicle/trailer and, I don't want to speak for them, but from our messages if it rains and BR can't get her trailer set up in time, they were probably also looking to cancel/reschedule. And honestly I had a grand image of anywhere from 20-100 people. Again, no offense intended, but 5 people and the possibility of 2-3 isn't much motivation to ride 1400kms. But there's still plenty of time in the summer so I'd be perfectly willing to see a rescheduled event. |

Apparently I had more realistic view of things. While there are a lot of people mapped in our areas this is still a small bored.
If we had twenty people I would have been blown away. 10 or so was what I was figuring. Just as this great forum started out with a few people it will grow in the years to come. Either way it comes down to this... It is up to you. No one is going to make you go or make you stay. I know that I probably won't be able to make any other time for a reschedule this year but then again I also know this most likely will not be the last meet ever either. There is always next year. And Nemy your not a bad guy for suggesting the rescuedule. The part that hurt was saying it wasn't worth it to drive 7-8 hours to meet 5 people. That was what bothered me. Perhaps the next meet can be arranged in NY so it is less of a drive for you folks. Suggetions are always welcome to improve for the next time.

But I'm not sure if the meet is small because the board is small. Maybe if we do one closer to a metropolitan area next it might work for those unwilling/unready to travel distances on their bike... cause the thing that frustrates me is that we had 8 250s come out to my last meet but at most 5 for a meet that was scheduled 3 months in advance for the whole North East... and I'm sure all of us are kind of frustrated with that... EDIT: ya sorry, I'll have to pull out chris |

Chris, 3mm refers to the outside diameter of the washer, so you can't have different sized outside diameter 3mm washers. All 3mm washers should measure, um... 3mm OD. <now, back to your normally scheduled programming> |

There is always going to be a problem with distance for anyone really. With this particular one we choose twisties over convenence. It happens.
If there isn't going to be anyone let me know, I don't mind sleeping in on Saturday... (This is the last weekend before my trip to Cali...) So I don't mind either way.

Just found out that my new vehicle is no longer legal on the road as of midnight tonight. The dealership never requested a new registration for my personalized licence plates that is currently on it. So tomorrow i have to chase the dealership for my roof and the motor vehicles for a new registration. Just crossing my fingers that the cops don't scan my plates tomorrow. And lastly never received my passport so i can't cross the border. What a week. But on the bright side i did receive my new hitch carrier today and rode my bike all week just got my suv back tonight from my parents. Maybe i'll be able to make it next time.

I'm passing on a text message I just got from Joe (Buffalony). His internet's been down the last coupla days (explains his absence ) but with the weather coming our way he's not going to be able to make it either.

Chin up, Joe. I watched the posts and decided not to chance taking time off work to ride out east, not knowing IF there would be a Ninjette event or not. This Ninjette Rally thing is still in the infant stage. Now there is a whole year to plan for a 2010 rally!

Stalker? Who, me??? No, I'm MOSTLY a Lurker and generally harmless
Back on topic: Sometimes it takes awhile to organize an event, but once the ball gets rolling and the word is out, people will come around. Sorry you gave up vacation time and the Ninjette Rally didn't happen Now there's time to make it happen for next year! |
