Anybody else coming out for this NY TY ride? Weather is looking good. Only 1 week to go.

 

[Honk]

Hey guys, Anyone need a roomy for this trip? Tryin to save a buck. See ya"ll Weds mornin! Give me a holler. Honk

 

[Boomer]

Could be trouble for me for the trip. I'll be there, cause I have an interview in Utica on Tuesday, but hopefully my sled will be with me.

While up in Old Forge yesterday, I brought some new plugs to install because I thought I had fouled them my last trip up. The sled starts and idels fine, but as soon as I try and go anywhere at bout 4000 RPM's the sled cuts out and then usually backfires really LOUD!!! Anyway the new plugs didn't help it, so I dropped it off at Deerfield Yamaha, and begged them to fix it by next Tuesday night!

Wish I knew what could be the problem? Plugged jets, too rich, the dreaded exhaust donuts? If it is them, it looks like I may be SOL. Talked to Steve (NY ATTAKGT) today cause his sled is there for those and he had to get Port Yamaha to overnight them cause these guuys couldn't get them.

This is causing me to lose some valuable riding time.

Either way I'll see whoever shows up Tuesday night or Wednesday morning to either join you or wave to you as you head out riding.

Boomer, sorry to hear of your bad luck. Don't believe it is the donuts as mine went last year and I never had a problem making power. I think you may have a issue with the TORS. Hopefully they will take care of it. My sled has been at the dealer since Monday with rear shock issues. With any luck I will be able to pick it up by next Tuesday!

My weather forcast for our NY TY ride. The Tues. before our ride next week, we should get a mix of snow then a little sleet and freezing rain, but I don't think it will hurt the trails, if we get enough snow befors it changes to sleet it should help the trails. Wed Feb.27 = Lake effect snow in the area, hard to pinpoint who gets what at this time, high of 28. Thurday Feb. 28= still some LES, high of about 21, Friday Feb 29=still some snow showers around, high of 25, Sat March 1, cloudy chance of some snow, high of 30. So the weather should be great. I will try to plan out rides so we are not riding in the heavy lake effect snow. See you next week. Remember we leave each morning from the Adirondack bowling alley parking lot at 9:30 Am each morning. Plenty of space to park your trailers if you are not staying accross the street at the Budget Inn. Gordon

Boomer, I'll have my '01 SRX w/ M-10 available if you needed a sled to ride for the TY ride. I just got it up and running as I may need it to ride this weekend since my Attak is still at Deerfield getting the exhaust work done. ..but then again my Attak could be ready when I go there tomorrow morning. They got the parts I had overnighted and they were working on it as of 11am this morning. Hopefully they get the problem fixed on your sled before the TY ride . As for the ride, I'll be coming in Weds evening and riding through Saturday, leaving Saturday night.
