northeast rally

[tommymac]

I took Thursday and Friday off next week. Got some work do to before the Rally.

Same here hoping to get that done mon and tuesday.

Tom

[Phenix_Rider]

I need to take off thurs and fri, but other than that, I'm ready to go. Bikes back in one piece and rideable.

I ordered one needle bearing and need two for the clutch release lever. Should be quick to pop that bearing in and swap clutch covers and change the oil- depending when the part comes in. Found one of my coils is cracked, so I'm replacing both- those suckers are EXPENSIVE! $106 each!

Plan? Do we ever have one?! :lol:
Slow Race
Centralia
Harley Museum
Beer and BS at night

[marko138]

When are tours to the Harley Factory? Anyone know what policy is on that? Do we need reservations?

I can take care of that if need be, since I'm pretty local. Let me know a head count and when we'd like to do it and I'll get it rolling.

[marko138]

Alright, according to HD's website, tours of the York Factory are only available Monday through Friday, 9am to 2pm. So we might have to cancel this sucker.

[tommymac]

I can be there early fri if others want to go. I know guys went on it at the CF rally and siad it was prety cool. I just hope I dont get struck by lightning going in there :lol:

Tom

[marko138]

Sometime Friday might be a good option. Gas Man wants to do it regardless...so he and I might roll down and do the tour.

He's coming to my place Wed night. We've got some things to do Thursday and were gonna do some stuff Friday as well, but we might now do the Tour Friday instead. We were gonna ride to the HD dealer.

LMK when you guys plan on going, I could get an earlier jump on the ride out there and catch up with you guys. I will be on italian bike so they may let me in :lol:

I think we are gonna plan on doing the tour for sure some time friday. Maybe late morning. Anyone else gonna be around Friday to do it? We need reservations for 10 or more.


What are you riding and where are you coming from?

I am on an aprilia futura the blue one(becasue theyre are so many of them out there :lol:) and am comming from NYC. I think its about 2.5 hrs for me to get there, last several years we rode down to philly and went west from there.

I'll be there. Still on the blue 650R- with one side a bit prettier than the other :lol:

[marko138]

Cool. So as of now we've got 4 ppl for the Tour. We can settle on a time later on.

[Gas Man]

Come on what is cooler than riding the bike there that was built there.

He's coming to my place Wed night. We've got some things to do Thursday and were gonna do some stuff Friday as well, but we might now do the Tour Friday instead. We were gonna ride to the HD dealer.

The factory is way cooler than any dealership.

We HAVE to HAVE 10 people to do it?

[Bluestreak]

We HAVE to HAVE 10 people to do it?

Negative. They only want you to make reservations if your party is bigger than 10.

Wife and I did this tour 2 years ago. Very nice place, very cool to see.

[Gas Man]

Ok cool. 10 for resv otherwise who ever goes just rolls up. I cant wait!

[tommymac]

Ok cool. 10 for resv otherwise who ever goes just rolls up. I cant wait!

wha ttime you guys thinking so I can know when to get to the hotel and drop my stuff off. i think the factory is about 15 minutes from the hotel.

Tom

[Gas Man]

I don't know... that is up to my tour agent Marko

[marko138]

I don't know... that is up to my tour agent Marko
:lol: Well, we'll be around all day...so whatever time works for everyone else. We could do maybe 11am then grab lunch somewhere. Tour is about an hour according to their website.

[Bluestreak]

Tom

By air maybe! :lmao:

Better plan for closer to 30 minutes.

[tommymac]

Ok thats fair I hadnt been down that way in a while, a couple of times we came into the hotel by going past the factory, I thought it was a little closer than that.

tom

[derf]

I dunno, I may be able to make it for friday, but it waould be great if we could take the tour later possibly 1 in the afternoon? Again I may be able to make it

[marko138]

I dunno, I may be able to make it for friday, but it waould be great if we could take the tour later possibly 1 in the afternoon? Again I may be able to make it
I'm fine with whatever. If you can make it then I'm cool with waiting. They say the tours are from 9-2pm. I'm not sure if that means the last tour is 1pm (they are an hour) or the last tour starts at 2pm. I'll call them tomorrow and find out.

[tommymac]

either way works for me, I figure I will either get a real early stary to beat the NYC rush hr crap or wait it out and hit the road around 9 and take my chances.

Tom

[derf]

I prolly wont be able to make it that early, but I will try

[tommymac]

I prolly wont be able to make it that early, but I will try

LMK what time you can ge ton the road, i could possibly head south and meet you and we can ride out together. It may depend on the time thoug because getting down to the philly area in rush hr may be messy between NYC and the tpke.

[derf]

I am thinking I might take the whole next week off in which case I would not be able to take off friday, but I would be leaving my brothers house in New brunswick and head to gettysburg from there. If I dont take that week off I can leave any time in the morning

Ok LMK when you know what youre going to do. If I fly solo I may leave NY real early to get out there around 9 or 10, so I can get settled in grab some breakfast and meet the guys later.

Tom

[derf]

So the real question is, who has a room, and who wants to share a room? I havnt gotten one yet, but I want to share a room, and I'm pretty sure that if dave decides to come he's gonna share a room with me so he doesnt have to pay, same with my brother.

Seems like going to Philly from NYC then west would add a lot of time to your journey. Why not come south on 78 through PA?

When I go straight ther eor back thats how I go, 78 to 81 to 83

[Phenix_Rider]

We have five rooms reserved as of now. I'm creating a new thread for rally definites, so I don't get stuck with any extra spaces.

[Gas Man]

I Pm'ed derf my number for next week.

Wish this was a little closer, but 6 hours is a hell of a drive. Especially just for a day or so.

Gas Man is riding all the way from Michigan.

[racedoll]

I race (running half marathon) on Saturday so I would have to leave after that and would be driving my car, if I'm even in a condition to do that.

[marko138]

Booooo to you.

[racedoll]

I know. I shouldn't have even brought it up.

[Gas Man]

Gas Man is riding all the way from Michigan.
Yes I am.

Racedoll. I'm heading out earlier in the week but you are more than welcome to tag along with me on the way home. I'm leaving mon morning.

[tommymac]

maplost has it taking me about 4 hrs to get there from my house, last several years we went down to philly then went out so it was never a straight shot. I already see a few places to shave some time so what I am thinking is I iwll leave NY around 6am that way I will beat most of rush hour out of the city and should get there between 9 and 10.

Tom

[marko138]

Derf how you looking for doing this tour Friday? We should try to lock down a time soon.

[derf]

Count me out, I replied to that in the other thread, I will be leaving N jersey either 2 or 3

[marko138]

Werd, holmes.


So, what time does everyone want to do the tour, and who all will be there?


My vote is for maybe 1pm. And Gas Man and I will be there.

[itgirl]

i'll letcha know if i can make it later on today. i'm off to work right now. :)

[Sixxxxer]

I dont think i'm gonna make it.

Got to much shit to do and I'm working that weekend.

[itgirl]

well, i can't get off work for the tour. too damn many lunch ladies out this week. we are sooo short staffed. i will hook up with you all at the hotel later though, if someone is kind enough to shoot me a text. i get off work at 1:45, so my whole day is free after that. then i am free after 4 on the weekends. i know all the local hot spots for evening activites, so feel free to use me. and my 4runner seats 7 if it rains. i know where the strip club is too, if y'all are game. ;) :lol:

I'm not sure if prices fluxuate at PSU. I know I paid 55 for the first game against Akron and 55 for last week against Iowa. Syracuse I had Suite tix, for free. I'm gonna keep an eye on the rest of the games and see the price changes.

[tommymac]

Ok as of now I am looking ot leave NY around 6am so am shooting for a 10am arrival time. I can meet you guys at the hotel and we can kill some time before the tour. I also figured if saturday is shitty weatherwise we can get a ride in on friday too.

marko I will do some beer shopping before I leave, any requests on some possible hard to find beer. Sinc3e I will be packing light otherwise(only realy a 2 day trip for me) I can bring some extra beer ;)
