Thank you sir.

I suppose removing the wheels shouldn't be too much of a feat; at least the rear wheel shouldn't be, thanks to the center stand.

JB,

rear wheel is easy to do the front I use a piece of a 4x4 under the oil pand to hold the front wheel up. I can give you a piece when I get back. I have some extra peices at the house.

Thank you again Danimal. I certainly don't want my bike to tipping over because I didn't know the best point to place supports underneath it.

It looks like we might have kind of a sour week weather-wise for riding. However, I am certainly counting on getting out on the road next weekend. Still looking forward to an Abita Springs run.

I am really hating this thread. I am looking at 5 inches of the white stuff on the ground and another 3 on the way tonight. I am at least four months from hitting the starter button.

If there's anyway that you can get away, just come on down! Trailer that bike down here and come hang out. Personally, I ride Wednesday nights and roll again on the weekends - weather permitting. As long as we're not getting a whole bunch of rain, I plan to ride throughout the weekend next weekend.

I really appreciate the offer! My buddy and I plan a ride to the Dragon in the spring and maybe we'll just keep heading south. I have spent some business time in "Nawlins" and there's isn't a funner place on the planet. Enjoy your riding and your riding weather.

You're welcome! It's definitely fun down here, but the City of New Orleans sure better get a firm handle on its crime problem soon.

The weather is sure looking to be quite conducive towards ideal riding-weather conditions for this Saturday! Of course it's still a little soon for me to call it a 'Perfect 10' on Dan's DARN-scale, but it's certainly shaping up nicely!

WWL Weather for SATURDAY:
Lots of sunshine and mild. Lows north of the lake around 36 with frost and south of the lake around 43. Highs around 65.

WDSU Weather for Saturday:
Mostly sunny with lows near freezing North Shore to the 40s South Shore, highs in the low 60s.

JB,

yeah, go ahead rub it in. I will be home on the evening of the 10th. I am ready to ride. How about lunch at Abita Brewery on the 13th, weather permitting? Can you ride during the weekdays? I gotta log enough miles to last me for my next hitch.

Oh, crap! Sorry about that man. I though you were going to be back home this weekend.

During this time of year, I am able to ride during the weekdays, especially on Wednesdays around 'Bike Night'. Since the winter is setting in, my business is slowing down a lot, therefore I should be able to break away to ride a few more week days other than just Wednesdays.

Also, I'll be sure to put in another order for some more great ridin' weather for the weekend of December 13th, cuz an Abita Brewery run sounds great!

P.S. I did order a new set of Dunlop Roadsmarts from Motorcycle Superstore yesterday. They should be here by Monday.

[DANIMAL]

Kep that good weather comin.
Its cool
All in good fun.
Where do you go to bike night. we use to hit the Pit stop and the Kamp. we heard that the Pit Stop got right unfriendly toward Plastic bikes and crotch rockets. Mostly go to the Kamp,but I haven't been in a couple of months. Need to change my front tire on thursday when I get back. I run Metzler Sportec M3's.
see ya soon

[JBzRed07]

I'm not too sure what's happened to the Pit Stop; I have noticed that there haven't been nearly as many bikes there as in the past. But The Kamp; now that's a different story. The past two times that I've gone to The Kamp after leaving Pit Stop, The Kamp's parking lot was slammed with all types of bikes - Harley-types mostly, but definitely a variety of different bikes, and there was a cool crowd of friendly folks there.

Yes sir, it is my understanding that Metzler has some really great tires. I just might consider them the next time around.

According to UPS, my Roadsmarts will arrive on December 9th. I am hoping to get these installed around the same time that you get your front tire changed out. Since you mentioned Garrett Honda earlier regarding tire service, I'm going to give them a try.

Plenty Of Motorcycle Parking Available.

This weekend is looking good for me so far. Let try to set it up.

Sounds great Joe! If you and your wife want to meet up and roll through the plantation scene, I'm certainly fine with that. Or, if you want to roll to the northshore, that'll work too. I'll leave it up to you if that's ok, because the only ideal motorcycle travel routes that I'm familiar with are down in Lafource and Terrebonne Parishes. Another words, I'm hoping to get introduced to some new scenic terrain!

Sure hope you'll be able to break away for an Abita run next weekend? I'm about to put in another order for some more favorable riding weather conditions for next weekend, when Danimal gets back to the States.

Since I purchased my bike, Mother-Nature has been really generous with granting my requests for ideal riding and fishing weather.

[JBzRed07]

Hey NOLA VFR, did you get the PM I sent to you earlier today?

Tryin' to set something up for tomorrow, and I'll probably ride on Sunday too. Tomorrow morning, I'm planning on rolling out at 8am.
