Ok, next years date is June 7, 2025!
Start your planning early

I’m locking this thread for the time-being.... I’ll unlock it when we get closer !

CNYCC#17 thread has been un-sticky-ed, so it will drift down the Hangout Lounge section.

Happy New Year Dave and all XJrs a few of you will be heading to Dave's soon. Every year seems shorter. It is only me who thinks that?

 

I heard rumor that you’re coming this year!

 

I would if I could but my wife won't let me lol . She who must be obeyed. I will be watching from afar.

 

Livestream needed!

 

Being from Pittsburgh, I’m interested in coming to this. Depending on where in central NY it is, the distance could range from “totally doable” to “ill advised for a vintage bike.”

Is this the kind of thing you need a PM to get the info for?

 

20 mi south of Utica..zzz
About an hour north of Binghamton

 

Oh, awesome. So I could probably overnight in Binghamton, which is 5ish hours from Pittsburgh. In that case, I’ll put it on my calendar!

 

Sounds like fun, but it would be a 24-hour ride (~1750 miles) each way on straight interstate for me. Closer to 40 hours if I wanted to try and make it interesting.

Pretty sure the 750 could make it but doubt my butt could.

 

Aw, c’mon.....Josh O ride from California to here!! You’re like halfway here ALREADY!

 

2 1/2 months away!

 

I know I've wanted to go to this for many years but this might be the year I'll pull the trigger and do it. I'll need to PM you about it Dave, if that's OK, being a newbie to this event.

 

Would love to have you join us! PM me and I’ll forward all info to you

 

Tried to send you a conversation invite - is that the same as a PM? Site says you haven't been online since March 24th, hope all is OK.

 

I’m here

crazy happenings for the past few weeks, that’s all.

 

CNYCC#18 is only 2 months away!! Things are looking good—only about 1 inch of snow on the ground, 24 degrees, whiteouts, and high wind right now. Otherwise, I’m just about ready

 

Just over a month away, time to kick planning into high-gear. If you’re planning on attending, send me PM’s, so I can get info to you.

A week away!

 

The work tent is up, I’m putting a second one up in case of rain, and the Library was built yesterday…….

One item of note—
For those coming from the south (coming up route 12)……..this weekend is also the annual Sherburne Pageant of Bands. So there will be a lot of bus/spectator/etc….. traffic in Sherburne this year. Watch carefully, and they may be setting up the detour through town early in the morning. The Parade starts at 1pm, so the road will be closed off before that. (WE will, of course, have started L O N G before that!!)

Library .

 

The Throne Room

 

We have several door prizes lined up—
Thanks are extended to:

NAPA - 2 cans of seafoam
Gates-Cole Insurance - a bank of goodies and trinkets; kickstand plates

and of course, extra special thanks are extended to Len Chacal and xj4Ever for enduring support, and we have a bunch of xj4Ever stickers, and this year one person will get oil pressure gauge kit. We are going to install the kit on someone’s bike and document the procedure for a write-up to be posted in the how-to forums. We actually did this a few years back, but the pictures were never sent to me and subsequently we had nothing to make a write-up with. So, we will do it over again

some other individuals have indicated that they will be bringing some excess parts to the Carb Clinic, and they will go into the ‘East Coast Parts Hoard’ and will get cleaned up and become available once again.

RickCoMatic’s 900rk is under the second canopy for anyone to take a look at, since it has turned up It’s not currently running, but it will come back to life in the near future.

I’m also working on rescuing another previously well-known bike. Once that one is here, I’ll announce it at that time……stay tuned for that one—-lol
