Chicago Monthly Ride ~~ LETS DO THIS! ~~

Re: Chicago Monthly Ride ~@~Ride Pics Posted~@~

Looks like a good time. We were planning on coming up that way and riding the lake front in a couple weeks. I was afraid we might have waited a little too late in the year. This confirmed it. I like the cool weather but mr riding partner not so much. We'll try to time it when it's a little warmer.

I say there are still lots of good riding days left!
Today it was 100% sunny and 75 degrees. I rode the lake front today in a T-shrit
let me know if you are coming out would love to ride with you guys!
Thanks Skip

Well we've already made plans now off in a different direction. Possibly next year though. Thanks.

Bummer
maybe we will see you guys spring or summer of 2012? :wink:

Sorry for the delay...So without further adieu...


oldgreaser's bike:

I see some familiar parts on there, glad you got some use out of that Hollywood.

Re: Chicago Monthly Ride ~@~Ride Pics Posted~@~

That's correct. Good eye. I made use of the fenders to lengthen the rear, I've got plans for lengthening the front fender too, The chainguard is being used. The rear wheel saving for another bike, and the frame got chopped up with a sawzall. Most likely I'll use the rear section to build something like that WAAAAY lo sting ray that got posted a week back. Hey , get that Back in Black to the October ride HUH ?

Re: Chicago Monthly Ride ~~October Ride!~~

Boy! did I screw this up!

* First I did not post October's ride date early enough for everyone to make plans to come out

* Then my computer crashes so I can't PM everyone to come out

* It turns out I did not get the day off of work :?

* And my dog ate my homework! :shock:

So the deal is I can not make it on Sunday :| ...You guys certainly don't need me to ride and if there is enough people to
ride please go ahead and ride!
I am very very sorry for any inconvenience.

I will have Novembers date by Thursday it will be ether on the weekend of the 14th or 20th 21st
I will keep you posted

Sorry, again for the screw up I do look forward to this ride all month long!
Thanks Skip

BTW.....
I think I figured out why my hub froze.......

I will be riding a factory sealed hub on the 20th :roll:

 

[Highridah]

Re: Chicago Monthly Ride ~~November Ride Update~~

was this before or after you took the dust cap off?

 

[Skipton]

Re: Chicago Monthly Ride ~~November Ride Update~~

That was after I rebuilt the hub :roll:
I don't think the weird dust cap or funny bearings had anything to do with the freeze up......
just some dummy who didn't put the brake pads in the right way :roll:
