We have no inspection but they do emission test... If your registering a bike from out of state they will do a half ass insp. but its just checking the vin numbers between the frame and engine... My bikes arent old enought to have to go thru emissions yet... I think its after 5 years...
 
Midnight, that's a non-issue, I thought the same thing.

Torrey, unique thing about the Buell, when they do the emission test they only do an Idle test, then run it up to about 2000rpm, then do a second idle test. They can't use the dyno because of the exhaust exit in front of the rear tire, for safety reasons. By the way mine has failed the initial test before, the plugs terminal had vibrated loose and caused a misfire, pulled then tightened them up, and she squeaked by. but remember mine is not fuel injected with a computer correcting the a/f ratio, mine is all manual. xtreme is correct on the time 5 years or newer don't need to be tested.
 
Xtreme - I shot you a PM with my cell. I have to go home and get my bike. I took the Crown Vic to work today. Something about heat and sound system sparked an interest this morning.

Awesomely,
Eric
 
Nice to meet you Eric, the turn out was pretty good out there! Next month I should have a couple more of my friends out there on sport bikes to try to help thin out all the HD riders.

Can't wait to get this ride shaped up, I'm thinking we should shoot for Saturday morning the 20th! that way I might be able to make a trip up to sunrise for some snowboarding if there is still snow up there??

How dose that work for everyone? If we can get a date set maybe we can settle on a location then post it up on some local forums and get some more interest!
 
I'll See what I can do with the Store, otherwise the Morning is out. But that would be a Good Day otherwise.
 
OKay, I have learned from the Schedule, aka "Krystyna, my Girlfriend" that weekend we will be doing something??
I'll have to pass until I get another stretch between Holidays.
Sorry guys
later

I'm chillin in Tucson for the gem& mineral show-without my bike dammit-but I've already seen 2 buells today ! Perfect weather down hear! [up]
It's ok I know I'm bringing the sun home to norcal with me![smirk]
 
I have a broken header bolt. if I can get it fixed by then, I'm down.

I was polishing my headers and doing an oil change this weekend when I realized my front header pipe was loose. Boo for broken bolts.

I need to finger out how to get that beast out.
 
Yeah I have some thing going this week end too, 6 days a week in the store doesn't leave a lot of family time or Personal Time. I might be able to get out the following W/E, but it is looking doubtful the closer we get to it. Most likely it will be a couple weeks into March before I can "Come Out To Play"

Eric sorry to here about your Stud, they can be a pain to fix, depending on how far the break is down the stud.
If you can get the remnant out w/o damage to the head threads, you should be ok, but if it looks at all damaged I would just drill it oversize and heli-coil it that way you get the strength back plus better material on the threads then.

Thanks for the advice. It snapped in half, so I think I might be able to use an easy-out drill bit. (fingers crossed)

I'll keep you guys posted
