Good Morning all. We are running a little late, but will be there ASAP. Waiting for Verity to get dressed and then we are off to pick up the trailer and hit it to Dirts house.

You're getting all kinds of go really fast rides!

 

Thanks for the reminder, Rod. I just ran out and grabbed my boots from the trailer. BBBBBBRRRRRRRRR!!!!! It's gonna be a really nice day for a ride though.

 

I took this NEW dragger for a spin down my street yesterday..........WOW [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

We talked to Nate on the phone yesterday![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] First time we've talked on the phone with him in a couple of months.
He can fly out of Al Asad on April 6th (our 5th)
Hopefully he will be here by the 7th, 8th at the latest.
He has 15 days of leave!
It will be so great to see him!
I'm sure we'll have a trail ride while he's home, he also wants to go salmon fishing so we're going to head to the lower Columbia for a weekend.
Did I say how great it will be to see him?![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Bobby, our other son, is also flying in from Hollywood to see Nate and to surprise Cindy. It's her birthday on April 3rd so to have both her boys here right around her birthday is the best present ever!

 

I know this is a bit of a late reply, but I had read of that trouble on the forums, too. Not about the 450's, just the z400's. Funny thing, I was talking to the Cycle Barn Service department the day I picked up my 450(a couple days before this post) and he said they have never seen it and wasn't aware that Suzuki had any intention of doing a recall. He attributed the corrosion, if it was happening, to people using tap water in the coolant system rather than deionized water.

I think I am going to buy a 6 month warranty extension to have it covered for the first year. That should give me enough time for all the bugs to be found for this first production run. I don't know if it's just hype or not. My '03 Z has taken a beating and not really had any of the problems I read about online. Of course, I do maintenance and don't do 50'-100' jumps either. I honestly don't think there are enough people that have had the R450 for long enough to really determine what trouble might pop up. Thanks for the heads up though!

Well, Verity and I are back home. We got about an hour out and got a call telling us that Peyton was throwing up out of both ends, so we turned around and came home to take care of our baby.

Verity is shampooing the carpet as I write this.

I hope everyone has a safe and fun ride today. We are sorry that we will not be making it.
