Oley Weather ?

[bobdo]

Oley was great.
It was my first time at this meet & I was very impressed. Also, that area of the country is beautiful. I've always loved good stonework & to see all those homes & barns was a real treat.
Like I've read in this thread I missed out on meeting a lot of you guys. I had written down a few notes of names & places & forgot it at work, I had to work late Wednesday. By the time I got home & packed I only got about 2 hours sleep then rode 400 miles to get there. Me & my two friends that rode along had a great time. We left Saturday at about 2:30.

Oh man, that had to be funny to see. Quite the mental picture!

Oh yeah....I'm just about healed from the whiplash beating that cart gave me.

You betcha Kevin ! Someday for sure ! For you folks who wondered where I may have been a wonderin around at... I was the one folks kept callin an idot on the old HD all orange colored golf cart. Nope ! I wasn't being reckless ! The idle plugged up on me and she would only move along with the pedal half way depressed. The two stroke starts off of the fuel pedal so you all heard it begin running at a fairly high rpm. You also heard me operate it on, off, on, off, on, off, on...etc...That was the only way I could keep her at a realitively safe and slower speed. Carb will be off of her this weekend to find out what is going on in there. Sorry if I scared anyone. I don't normally operate a machine with one foot/hand on the brake and one foot/hand on the throttle. Paps

Brought along a 47wl with the Ole Ladies solo electric starter system installed on it. Trip was eventful on the way to Oley. First thing that happened to us was we stripped out the fuel line threads in the tank. Had to improvise with an IV type fuel feed setup at the meet. Second issue we ran across on the trip there was the bike fell over in the trailer. Had no clue the bike went down for quite a spell. First time I ever had a problem utilizing the stand with my straps on a bike. Checked on it often though. I-80 did a number on the repop jiffystand. This particular repop stand was one of those ones made incorrectly a while back. Many of you may recall the new earlier repop ones with the built on flat spot on the bottom on the leg. Not only was that flat spot and issue with that repop stand, the material the leg was made out of was garbage. The leg bent and twisted around near the horseshoe bend next to the mount. Didn't break off though. The bike falling over in the trailer didn't hurt the bike none. It did screw up the paint job though. The 47 is by no means correct. We just wanted a runner at Oley for the 45 solo electric start display. I even installed a bare finish unit so the unit would stand out above the rest of the machine. I have the matching finish unit for the bike but felt no one would notice the unit if it blended in to the rest of the surrounding components. I was very pleased with the meet. It was ran extremely efficient and well ran in my opinion. Weather was great while I was there from Wednesday through Saturday late afternoon. As always, seeing friends again and meeting new ones to boot, is the best part of any meet for me. I looked up several dozen people [ most of them forum members ] but was unable to catch up with them. Really wanted to meet Steve Slocombe but missed him a few times. Missed Kevin as well. Looked for ya Bob Ludland but missed you both times also. Seemed like when I was out and about looking for folks...they were out and about as well. Same here though....when I was out and about...folks were at my spot trying to look me up. I personally didn't score the long sought after parts I was searching for but all in all I had a real good time. Paps
