Hey guys!
Sorry I hadn't responded.
Sooo...my STUFF is in Bridgeport (apartment with clothes, etc.), but I've spent about 80% of the last year on Long Island for family reasons. THAT said, I am afraid I can't commit to being in Hartford anytime soon. I HAVE done research though about using public-transport to get up there with my MB: CT is a PITA when it comes to public transport, bikes, and weekends in general...Sundays are ESPECIALLY tenuous. I even considered Amtrak outta New Haven...they're draconian on bikes...forget the gasoline! I'll keep my eye on the options; if June 29 works for me, I'll be there!

I'm so lost! LOL, nothing new
OK! the firm date is July 6th?
Will this work?
Kiosk, take the train to Hartford and we can get you back and forth and figure out a ride (MB) from there. LOL, you and I will most likely be siting at the table fixing one but that's just the fun!
So, we all good about July 6th? (that is a sunday?)

After testing I found stock NT /speed jet is near perfect. Just not enough gas at idle. All you have to do is file down the needle until it Idles slow enough.

Got a PM from Dan over the weekend about the ride. I'll see what I can do, but are bikes like mine allowed? LOL I picked this up for $75 last summer and have probably put 1500 miles on it since.
If I can make it I'll send a note to Bruce to see if he's around. We can throw his Whizzer in the back of my truck with my Yumbo.

LOL, Calvyn. If ya showed up with a big wheel with pink streamers, you & yer bike. Or no bike, would be welcomed, given a beer or soda, burger and promptly made fun of. because we all know big wheels have red streamers.
No kidding, I have yet to get a bike working and might be sitting on a bench and cheering you folks on as you ride past me.
I really, really have to make that bushing. 20K in and nope! lol

Slow Balt, that is so you Mon. Always a good guy. Thank you Sir!
As always, I really do appreciate it! I am sure I will get it together by then but due tend to take my time, snork.
Some body has to watch the tent, cooler and grill........... (and Carol. she does tend to wonder)

Told my wife about the get together over the weekend and she reminded me that we are going to some friends' lake house up in Barre, VT that weekend and won't be coming back until Sunday night so I'm out. I really wish I could make it. It's been a while since I've seen ya'll.
