Bill, one of the things that I miss is having a tech day at someones house who has the the know how and tools to do this. On the Cam Tigger ride this past Sunday, someone was having clutch problems and said he was hoping to keep his bike going until the next tech day session. Paul Charette, AKA RIairhead, used to put them on when he lived in Tiverton (now resides in CT).

I know this weekend Phactory Phil is hosting a Traction Party with the Tire Nazi. Phil would be a great member to...

Not entering senior citizenship, Dana. Just remembering things good of which you were (and still are) a major part. See for your self:

Sounds like a great ride RPB. But you're cheating here. You didn't go to the meeting did you? If I missed you there I apologize up front. Also, fair warning: Some day...

Brad, the sign has been gone for several years. It was last called Vincenzos. Colonial House was much more appropriate place for the YB's to meet.

Just for fun check out this most excellent thread hijack on the MOA Fourm. Somebody from Colorado asked if you had to be a YB to be elected to the MOA board.

Check it.

Well, I must be a slacker, I only rode about 235 miles yesterday, up to the meeting, south bound with Catfish and then back roads from South Kingston home. I really nice weekend of riding !

Sorry to hear the Colonial House is no more, as Maurice said we had many a good time there.

Best.

Bob: When I got home after a great ride, wonderful breakfast and great start to the day I noticed I had done 252 miles by the time I returned to the garage. I can say meeting up with and riding in with the Cam Tiggers is really the only way to go to breakfast.

WOW !! I went by there after the meeting yesterday and the building was still up. I was with three other unnamed YB's. We were on a mission from God that I can't discuss. Suffice to say we completed our mission, and the YB collective will reap a reward later on this summer.

By the way, I may have broken one of my own records yesterday. Total of 305 miles ridden just to eat breakfast with all youse guyz. Great riding and thanks for letting me be a member of this great...

For many years, the YB's met monthly at the Colonial House located in Bellingham on the corner of route 140 and Maple Street. I'm sure many members fondly remember good times there. On my way to work today, on behalf of all YB's, I said a fond farewell as the bull dozer's were process of leveling it to make way for a bank and shopping plaza.
