Hi all,

Tracey and I have been missing Edmonton and are coming up on Friday. If anyone is still in town for the weekend, how about a ride Friday evening or Saturday during the day?

I will stay tuned to this thread. Look forward to a ride.

Hey all. So I figure we will be in Friday evening, just not sure what time, probably after 6pm, but i'm going to throw this out there. How does Saturday around 11:00 am sound for a ride. I"m pretty flexible on time, so I want to make this easy on everyone.

Works for me. Little Italy, or...?

Little Italy sound good to me. Start with a nice Cappuccino, or whatever.

Yay! We made it to Edmonton despite our rental van leaking a fluid of unknown origin and the usual get out of Calgary long weekend traffic. Now for some dinner. See you all tomorrow!

Have a date with a Vet at 8:30 a.m. For a progesterone test. Not for me, mind, one of our brood that we will be breeding shortly. Not by me, mind. Will get there as quick as I can.

Angelo's choke plunger had popped out and was causing an intermittent very rich mix. Sadly, it was a failed repair that I had done. His choke threads were toast so I made up a threaded sleeve to press into the carb. I guess Lambrettas vibrate too much (Say it ain't so, Joe!), and loctite is not man enough for the job. We'll have to remove the carb and pin the sleeve in place.

No blame to anyone for the exception of the Lambretta engineers!!

Thanks again for riding shotgun to ensure that I made it home...

Great to see everyone, what a great turn out. I hope you all had a great ride.

It was really great to see everyone and many thanks for such a great ride. A real shame about your Lambretta. I'm thinking that should definitely be the St. Christopher theme bike. Or just a bright orange safely triangle theme

If I don't see you guys before, see you at the Jaguars ride

Cheers
Bradley
