Re: Almost 4th Annual Christmas in the Park, Dec. INPUT NEEDED

Any weekend night is fine - may be a little tough with the girls and school schedules, but would love to attend this year.

Re: November gathering, Saturday the 14th Lee's Summit

It may be possible to have two "leaders", one for a calm drive, and the 2nd for a more spirited drive. Any volunteers to be the second leader? All that would be involved would be to meet possibly the weekend before and drive the route to become familiar with it. If you are interested in do...

Re: Bike Racks

I've got a thule bike rack - pics to follow -

It is a 2 mount system and like cdecker78's, I don't have to remove the front wheel.

I've put 2 mountain bikes up there and driven highway speeds - it's a little noisy with bikes on top, and I do notice my gas mileage does go down.

Re: Go For A Spin!, May 31st

I'm going to try and attend. Depends upon unpacking the moving van. Don't count me for seating reservations but do for drive afterwards.


I'll try and look at some maps and see if I can come up with a route. Any ideas from anyone else?

programing options

Long story short, I had to have the computer controller replaced in Matti about a month ago. At the time, Baron did not reprogram any of the options, ie, day time running lamps, auto lock doors, follow me home lights, etc. I cannot find the original list from when I bought Matti 4+ years ago. Anyone...

Dave,

Thanks for arranging this. I think a good time was had by all even though it was unseasonably cool!

Pics to follow later today or tomorrow.
