meet up!

Anyone up for a meet up? Just got the 8 back and haven't been around awhile, working. Let me know what works for people, hopefully we can get a big a meet up. Anyone know when midamerica has a day that i'd be able to test out my new toys on my 8?

Hey all. Just got my 8 back from update and recall fix. Things went very well, and had no problems dealing with Woodhouse. Must say I have never had any problems with them either.
I could always use a lunch break, if anybody wants to do a get together. Can always do Pepperjax!!! Name a time that will work.....

I don't believe it is a standard USB on the emanage side -- custom fitment so they can sell a $1.50 cable for $150 You can borrow mine if you want.

How has that Greddy Turbo been treating you? last I saw, you had some super cool new rims and a hiccup accident wise due to some other driver... at any rate, I hope it all turned out ok...

thanks again...

I love the new rims -- dent was repaired flawlessly

Waiting for my Interceptor-X to arrive this week

Hey Hskr8, Been a while since I've had a chance to check the forum. Hope all is well. I know RxHusker and I both have a set of winter tires and rims from the tire rack. I believe we both have the winter sport m3, at least that is what I have and will be putting on here in the next few weeks. They did a great job for me last year and I did not notice any significant tire wear which I found to be a major problem on the Blizzaks.
Let me know if you need more info.
Happy Halloween to all.

Gray exterior, red and black leather interior, GT package, GPS system included. I purchased it new but it is a 2004. Has about 2100 mile on it at time of purchase. I kept my 4x4 truck for bad weather so I won’t be getting all-season or winter tire, at least not for now.

midlife, is that yours in the pic?

Hsker8, I will need to make sure I catch one of the get-togethers.

I normal tell people that I made a New Year Resolution about four years ago and it is the only one I have managed to keep. That was not to make another Resolution.
I think the only things I am really go to try and do different is get off my butt and try working out more and do a little better job of keeping clutter out of my place.

Currently I play volleyball and bike in the spring and summer, but need to do more in the winter months.

We definitely need a Spring meet and greet

Your right Hskr8 -- I have been down in Arizona

In the process of putting on a new fuel pump -- the stock wore out (22k) and couldn't handle the demands of the turbo.

How does 290whp and 242ft/lbs sound

Also just put in a new clutch and flywheel -- again couldn't handle the turbo power.

I also got another new toy with a 9k redline

100th Anniversary Harley V-Rod brand spankin new just waiting for the Spring thaw -- matches my Ti 8 perfectly

Yeah -- I decided to replace them this winter and when Jason took out the old clutch it was a MESS -- suprised it was even functional the shape it was in. The new clutch definitely feels different and the light fly really changes how she revs. The new clutch only has a few miles on it but seems to be loosening up a little -- definitely engages much quicker -- need to relearn shifting technique a little
