    If everything looks good up north by the middle or end of May, I'm sure 2 or 3 of us southies would be willing to meet whoever in Nederland or Lyons. I'm desperate to ride 7.

    That would be great! I'll just go ahead speak for them...We would love to. If they don't want to meet up, we'll just call them va jj's and go anyway.

    Thanks, I'm still riding on cloud 9 about her. It's like the first time you pull wool, floating for days. But I don't have to deal with this one gettin bitchy afterwards :) She runs so strong. I'm pretty sure the thermostat is fine, took another ride and once she warmed up she was right around 173-175 and around 200 at the red lights when we got back to town. The wife says the vfr sounds hot. I'll be putting on pilot road 2s on friday and doing the valve job this summer. Then I'll be gtg

    I may still be available for a short run tomorrow mid-afternoon after it warms up. Maybe Poudre and Stove Prairie.

    Cool, let me know. PM me for my phone number to meet somewhere or we can arrange it on here. After looking at your "sighting" post I realize how much we'll have to watch out for sand. What time were you thinking? I work at 4 p.m.

    We could meet up at wal mart on mulberry in the west lot. I was thinking about doing some indoor rock climbing at my gym over there before we went. You still thinking about noon? If you're wanting to go earlier I can climb afterwards.

    I am just going to climb later. I have to go run and do something real quick but will be able to check my computer in about 45 min. Let me know what you're thinking about the meet spot etc.

    Noon.

    Keep going west on Mulberry to the corner of College. Sports Authority parking lot on the north-west corner is less congested and will be easier to meet. I'll be gassed and ready but might be a minute or two late. Blue 3rd Gen.

    yea, nice day and good ride. Glad you kept the rubber side down and dodged that linebacker Bambi that tried to take you off Horsetooth!

    Getting those D220's off tomorrow morning. Pilot Roads 2's going on. Its going to be a chilly f-ing ride out to the shop, but I'm glad to be getting some new rubber. Old tires weren't looking so good after all.
