TON UP is getting a new chain and sprockets with a 45 tooth rear, hope it is not too wheelie prone! LOL also, oil change and filter, fresh spark plugs and perhaps a remap. Hope to do a Track Day before the Bash on 5/24 in NHIS.

See you all soon!

Yeah nothing will be like that first year, but that's what happens when events get bigger. You guys are always welcome to party in the campsite with us as it's hugeness has no occupancy limits or fire codes. I also just replaced my chain and sprockets but Bennington is always the last hooray for my tires. They look great on the way up and like hell on return! Can't wait.

I put two new tires on the Thruxton + Race Tech fork emulators, new oil and plugs. Bought rain suits ( to guarantee no rain)
the Speed Triple needs a rear tire, I'll do that next week. I have not decided which to ride this year but I'm considering the Adirondack ride instead of Mr Tito's wild ride. I'm getting older and want to get older still
the "sons" bikes are ready to go
the only one not looking forward to it is the dog; he hates the kennel :nuts:

Put the new tires on the VFR yesterday and a new rear tire on the Bonneville. Didn't get the oil changed on the VFR but I am thinking I can sneak that in while visiting mom for mothers day next weekend. :naughty:

Checking things off the list and getting ready to go. Robin and I will be rolling out of here early on the morning of the 26th. Should reach Chazy NY by the evening of the 28th.

Just ordered 20 sets of earplugs and a new military surplus belt to hold up my riding pants. It is getting close.

Got a call today from Great Bay Motorcycles and my Speed Triple is ready, fresh oil change, new chain and sprockets, 45 tooth rear, bled the front brakes, fresh plugs and remap. TON UP is ready to rip some back roads!

Hope to pick it up this weekend! Track day on the 24th at NHIS.

Cheers!
