I had managed to miss this thread until now.

I'm in the JOCO area. I'm all for getting together with other locals.

Hi.

SHOWOFF

I almost got mine out today since the 3 inches of ice on my driveway is mostly melted.

My freaking house faces North so it get's no sun on the front in the winter.

I live on the Missouri side, but I work in OP. I've only owned my 04 since November, so I'm pretty new to the rotary thing. And being a chick, I never really thought about motor stuff before, but I am learning to take care of my new baby. I'd be up for a meet... maybe get some tips on keeping her running smooth.

Tirminyl

Welcome! Since the weather is starting to pick up we def need a meet!

webgrl

Any other KC people check in on the forum very often?

Tirminyl

Not often as I would like.

webgrl

Btw, did anyone else suffer any damage from last week's hailstorm? I seem to find new dings every day... *sigh* I've got two good ones on the hood and two on the roof, possibly more.

Hey welcome to the club! Tirminyl if you set up meet This tuesday looks good 70 and sunny!

webgrl

Thanks for the welcome... Yes, Tuesday's weather is looking good... was planning to get the bike out that day! I actually got it out yesterday for a few hours in the afternoon. It's going to be a difficult summer having two toys to play with! =P

As for a meet, we should plan it a few weeks in advance, see if we can get the word out. I actually saw two 8's in the same day on Wednesday - a TiGray one and a Silver one. So I know they're out there!

rotaryfan04

Well wenever we do it i'm free on tuesdays and wednesdays maybe monday just let me know.

P.S. what kinda bike do you have?

webgrl

I have a 2003 Kawasaki Ninja EX250. I got it last year as my very first bike, so I wanted something small and manageable. By summer's end, I had put over 3000 miles on it, and the top speed of 110 didn't seem as fast as I once thought. =P So I am thinking of upgrading to at least a 500, but I imagine I'll be putting most of my funds into the 8 for now, which means a bigger bike may have to wait till next year. Do you ride?

Did a little motto x years ago I looked into getting a busa I'm 6 foot 7' due to the fact I'm a big guy need a big bike, but when I sat on it wasn’t comfortable for me so I started looking a the new boulevard m109R from Suzuki that’s a sweet bike but haven’t got anything yet.

kcmo

I might be able to meet somewhere around kc or in kansas as long as it's not too far out.

Tirminyl

Pretty cool you ride webgrl. I would like to get a bike someday but its not in my immediate future.

Maybe we can get something together in April?

webgrl

Oh yeah, this week's weather is perfect for riding. I rode in to work this morning and even at 7 am, it wasn't too cold. My brother got his bike going again (needed new tires), so I imagine I'll be on mine a lot. At least at 60 mpg, it makes up for what I lose in the 8!

An April meet sounds awesome. I would prefer a Saturday meet, but it sounds like rotaryfan04 prefers a weekday. What day works for you?

Anyone else checking in on this forum should chime in, too. I would like to get the ball rolling and start getting the word out. I'm finally ready to start doing some mods to the 8 and I'd like to see what everyone else has done.

Tirminyl

I just started thinking....maybe we can do dinner sometime on the weeknight so Chris can make it and maybe we can plan for an all car meet at SMP with some Oklahoma Joes BBQ in April? Have everyone interested chip in for some BBQ and shelter? Hang out and eat?

Does that sound good?

webgrl

Yep, I could do that. The first weekend in April is Easter, so should we shoot for the second Saturday, April 14th?

As for the weekday dinner, I play soccer on Wednesdays, so any other day besides that is good. Monday or Friday is my best bet, but I would be okay with Tue/Thur if it works better for other people. Chris - you wanna pick a date for that and let us know?

Tirminyl

OT- What soccer team you play for?
