Victory Test Rides at NCY Motorsports Rescheduled

The Victory test rides that were going to be held this weekend at North County Yamaha (NCY) Motorsports has been rescheduled due to all the rain we've gotten in San Diego County this weekend.

The new dates for the test rides are April 6-7, 2012.  NCY Motorcycles is located just off the 78 Freeway near Nordahl RD.  I'm betting they'll be burning burgers on Saturday, and it should be a good opportunity to ride a Victory for the first time.  Now to decide which one of the two models they are using for the test ride!  Whether its the Hardball or the Judge, I'll hopefully get a ride and will post a review afterwards.

Time to get the Connie running, if I have time

Ok, the big red obstruction in the garage needs to turn back into a running motorcycle.  After getting the house remodeled/rebuilt and most the stuff moved out of the other house, I can probably spare a few hours to try to resurrect "Miss Swail".  About 18 months ago the Concours developed a coolant leak during some unrelated maintenance and then life got in the way of making timely repairs.  I am guessing a good once over, an oil change, find and fix the coolant leak, a charge or new battery and fresh gas and hopefully the bike will start.  Then a tune-up, and maybe riding?  I really like the bike, so having it sit much longer won't be good.

Any tips appreciated-I already have a shopping list for Murph's Kits-mainly maintenance parts, although he has some great "farkles" I've always eyed.

I don't need any accessories, tires or maintenance parts right now (need some repair ones...) but this is a pretty good offer-basically 10% or more "rebate" on top of the usually good prices and discounts at Cycle Gear.  Here's a link to the website: Cycle Gear and the offer applies to online purchase only.
