General Chatter / Re: THE ONE MOTORCYCLE SHOW - ...
Last post by kpke - April 20, 2024, 08:12:10 PMFriday, 4/19/24 OFFICIAL DAY ONE OF THE ONE MOTORCYCLE SHOW
Before I forget, remember I would not be able to drop my trailer at Sarah's house. I made contact with my good RZ friend Charlie (whom I've never met) and he said I could leave the trailer in his driveway. Very kind of you sir, THANK YOU. It's a bit of a drive to his place and thankfully they made accommodations at the show for people to leave trailers. I left it there after setting up Thursday.
We arrived at the show Friday, parked, followed some other people and a minute or two later found out this was not the way to the entrance. Lost again. WTF. A few minutes later we got to the proper entrance and were let in.
They have free moto parking.
After getting through a lot of vendor tents here is the entrance to the giant ship building building.
And now entering the show.
And a few seconds later, holy smokes, they moved Julians bike just left of center in a really cool spot. I was thrilled to see it out of the previous spot. Sent Julain a text right away.
After that excitement wore off and a few seconds more walking, holy smokes again, they moved the 500 front and center about 50 feet into the building. Yes, I was elated.
So happy was I that I searched endlessly the whole show for the most beautiful model I could find to pose with my motorcycle.
More to come.

Last post by kpke - April 20, 2024, 07:38:28 PMHere are some random photos on Thursday, the day before the show opens. IMGUR scrambled my pics so there is no particular order. And it's time to visit with my niece and family, her parents (my oldest brother and wife from Bend), and hopefully later my other brother and wife from Culver.
But first from my morning bicycle ride.
It is really cool to see remnants of the shipbuilding facility this once was.

Last post by 1976RD400C - April 20, 2024, 03:00:28 PMIf it's like the Cushman engines back in the '70s, both cylinders share the same crankcase and fire at the same time.

Last post by kpke - April 20, 2024, 10:49:25 AMThursday, 4/18/24 LOAD IN DAY
My better half (not the 500) and I arrived at the show fairly early for the unload. It took quite some time due to my phone directions having been set to bicycle earlier that morning. Kept on getting turned in to building parking lots cuz it wanted us on bike paths. We traveled 650 miles with no wrong turns then got lost on a 1.5 mile trip. I amaze myself sometimes with my brilliance on these "smart" phones.
Once we finally made it everything went well. Unload a couple bikes by the entrance and then push them in.
They line you up for a "pro" photo.
And what??? Interview me??? OK
And a brief interview about Julian's entry.
Then we were directed to a spot for the bikes. I was a bit sad as to the placement of my bike and asked a couple of times to move my bike. Nope. Okay, we are here, let's enjoy the show.

Last post by kpke - April 20, 2024, 08:40:05 AMThanks guys. pdxjim, not sure of the name of the hood. But it is 1.5 miles away from the show. Convenient in that regard. 
I missed some worthy photos on the drive up.
Early AM leaving.
The majestic Mt. Shasta. Always a great site coming up this way.
And on into Oregon.

Turning Wrenches / Re: Fork Clunk at Extension RD...
Last post by Jspooner - April 19, 2024, 08:10:24 PMQuote from: Hemi on April 19, 2024, 07:49:19 PMJspooner,
You nailed it!
Disassembled the forks today, and found the top out valve had been reassembled incorrectly by the previous owner.
The oil flow ring that contains the spring was upside down, easy to see how that could happen.
No more clunk at extension, hard to believe that little spring and ring make such a big difference.
Many thanks!
Hemi
Glad you figured it out. I remember thinking the same thing when I figured it out.
