Title: Short notice, but "Old Bike Night" Denver anyone? Thursday May 5th
Post by: Firehawk068 on May 04, 2016, 05:43:37 PM
I plan on heading over there after work tomorrow since it will be in the mid-70's.

Anyone in the Denver area care to join me or just meet there?

That would be some fast travelling! You must be riding the land-speed bike.  :sarcastic:

Well, you see, when you're doing time zones.... :crazy:

They have something on the calendar for the first week of May, June, and something that will probably slip into the first week of July  :dash2:

The land speed bike is setting and ready to go for this year!  Doing the valves on it nowand looking for a hole in the work schedule together it on the dyno for a good checkout and then to Bandimere for some test runs

It is always on the first Thursday of the month. June 2nd, July 7th, August 4th, September 1st, etc.........

Let me know when you plan to go to Bandimere, I might try to go over there.

We ended up with (3) FJs at Old Bike Night.

Larry's and my 1990's, and Lee's '84

I'm going to look at the weather, but there is a good possibility that I can go.
I'll let you know for sure early next week.

Very true!  I've put the street wheels and brakes back on the race bike.  It'll be good to put a couple heat cycles and some easy miles on it.

I feel like a complete ass now!  It's my son's birthday tomorrow...although he'd enjoy old bike night, not so sure the rest of the family is "in" - to include the inlaws that are showing up tomorrow. 

:dash1:  try again next month....

I'll still ride it to work tomorrow...anyone up for a lunch run?

There wasn't a huge turnout of bikes, although the weather was perfect.

We did have (3) FJ's. An 1100, a 1200, and a 1300..............The gentleman on the FJR said he saw my post on this forum, and that led him to stop by.
