I was just replacing the stock chain on my '03 with a brand new DID 530VM (also known as 50VM) chain I bought a few years back, and I cracked the tip of one of the pins on the master link when I was riveting it. Based on what I read here, it looks like you can't get new master links for that...

Hey Billy, yeah it's me. The move was a long time coming. When we found out we were expecting last year, that kicked it into high gear. I'll miss those rides though. Hopefully our paths will cross again at the Gap or something. Keep it rubber side down!

I'm fishing Sunday, so that's perfect. What time will you be able to head out? We could meet up at the Thorntons with the Dunkin Donuts by Kmart. I was thinking of heading either out toward Taylorsville Lake, or up toward Bedford.

MHS or anyone else interested in getting together for a ride Saturday or Sunday this coming weekend? The weather is supposed to be great, and it would be nice to meet some local riders. I could go either day, but want to nail it down soon because I will probably go fishing the other day :) I...

Got into town yesterday and saw a silver (maybe a skunk) Gen 1 with a black engine heading west on Taylorsville Rd through the Hikes Ln intersection. MHS, was that you or anyone you know?

I use MapSource and my Garmin Zumo. Never heard of Streets and Trips, but maybe I'll check it out. Unless I'm commuting or running errands, the GPS is always on my bike. Sometimes I'll map a route in advance, but usually I'll use the GPS as a guide while I'm out. It makes exploring and...

MHS, yeah Des Pres is the park I was talking about. Haven't been up there since my little league days and forgot the spelling. I'm definitely up for some southern IN riding. Where I am in NJ, I'm used to having to ride for 45 minutes before I even get to any half-decent roads. I usually...

Cool. Are there still public tennis courts over in Dupree (sp?) park? You up for getting together for a ride sometime in September? My two-wheeling didn't start until college, so I don't really know any great roads around Louisville. Though, I did deliver for Hume Pharmacy in J-Town in high...

Thanks Krispy, I'm sure I'll get down there sometime in the next few years. Been down to Shady Valley a couple times, but haven't gotten as far as the Dragon (on the motorcycle) yet. MHS: Grew up in J-Town until age 6, then Hikes Point until college. Nashville for school and now NJ for 7...

After being out of state for about 10 years, I'm moving back to my hometown of Louisville, KY next month. I don't know any riders there. Any of you guys live in the area? It would be great to meet up at some point for a ride.

You mean PR2 right, not PP2? I just replaced my PR2 rear 3 weeks ago after almost 14K miles. It was a great tire. I wanted to replace it with a PR3, but due to the long wait and higher price, I just went ahead with a PR2 and couldn't be happier. For the type of riding I do, it really is a great...

Billy, Sunday's not looking quite as good any more. I plan on going out tomorrow.

36mm and 61 ft lb. Pick up a new locking washer from your dealer for a couple bucks to prevent this from happening again.

I put a set of PR2s on 15K miles ago. Got great mileage, excellent grip for my riding style, and very predictable feedback and slippage the few times they slid. The rear didn’t start squaring off until 13-14K miles, and the wear bars were showing soon after…Tony can attest to how well they held...

Hey guys, I had a great time riding and hanging out today. The weather was perfect except for a few sprinkles. Billy, those vids are great! You're too hard on the wide-angle. I like it. It gives a more natural feel for the speed of the ride with all the scenery zooming by. Whenever I watch a...

Tony, I sent the route file to your AOL address. See you tomorrow!

Guys, I started the route but didn't have time to finish and have to run out now. Tony, I'll email the route to you tonight, and you can forward to Billy. See you guys at the cigar store at 830.

No worries man. Still several months of good riding weather left. You'll make it up for a ride at some point. But really, how much trouble will you be in with the Mrs. if you just plop your daughter in front of the TV for 6 hours? :jk:

I think you're looking at it backwards. The route is CW not CCW. But if you want to go CCW, we can take that route. Less slab that way.

How's this look? "B" is the Cigar Store. We can meet there at say, 8:30, ride the loop to "C", and you can split off wherever you need to to head home. Too short?
