I have been working on that as well as last minute fluid level checks, and any maintenance needed beforehand. I'll have to get it in for an alignment this weekend...

Still hoping I can get away. This sounds like a really good weekend not to be missed.


I am working this Saturday 3/28 trying to make a hole in the schedule to allow me to leave Friday afternoon. Be there in the morning for Saturday Breakfast and fun.

I have four new tires, alignment, brake bleed/flush and new windshield all in. Bumper to bumper detail planned for this weekend.
With that, I think I'm good to go.

I hope you make it, Franc.
This will be a smaller meet and I'm cool with that. Even the Gens have a small bunch coming - with Easter that weekend (and so many Harley riding grandparents staying home) the roads should be kinda open for us!

And remember, Jonathan will be holding an Easter service in the Chapel from 8:00 to 8:30 on Sunday.

If those are really original, get rid of them.
If not, the DRagon is a great place to take off that excess tire tread that we all find so irritating.


Sorry you are gonna miss a great Easter weekend - we even have a short church service, so there is no reason to stay away. Work takes life - vacations give life.

No, your first statement is the correct statement. If those tires are original they are too old to trust on the road. The rubber has lost all of it's grip, even if you never plan to push it they're dangerous.

NEWS FLASH !!!!

If anyone wants to make a last-minute trip to the Dragon, I just changed my reservation (I'm going up tomorrow!) Anyway, they have two double queen rooms ($79) and one King Fireplace room ($95) left. Call Marie Rodgers if you have any issue booking the room at those rates, mention "The Crossfires".
