Bonneville America Forums Forums General Motorcycle Forums Rides, Rallies, & Events Mert's Pack takes on Long Island Traffic.

I was just going to write a "Pre-Long Island ride Long Island ride" report, but you guys beat me to it!

Pat, if you read this you'll be happy to know Mark now knows what a snorkle is!! We put his bike up on the lift, got his new (my old makeshift) speedo cable loop installed, pulled his snorkles, and installed his fender bib. Then we put my bike on the lift, swore at it a LOT and re-jetted to 155's without pulling the carbs. That one inside-rear screw on the left carb is a mo-fo!! But my bike is running GREAT now I must say. I think Mark got a good earfull as I pulled away on our test ride

So anyway, we have some good ideas for the 24th. Probably not a whole lot of miles, but some good scenic look-outs, and if we want we can grill it up at my place. Depending on the ferry you guys take, I'm thinking a nice day may be to ride some of those semi-twisties near my place for an hour or so, then do lunch/wrench at my place for a couple hours, then to a nice ride in the afternoon, either out east again, or maybe ocean parkway by Jones Beach... Depends on traffic predictions. Any other suggestions/destinations welcome! I'll try to test out some other roads in the coming weeks.
