I can party til 3am and still be up by 7am..that's our usual race weekends..haha Maybe up up a new post on that or something. 11am seems like a good time for people to get there and get to the park ramp. Is that where everyone is meeting?

Do it twice?That's DooDoo
If I get there earlier than 11 then I'll be riding around very close to the ramp... I never really leave the area too far from the ramp/rocky beach there around the campground... my 8.5 liter tank usually has me sticking close to home... I'll probably get there closer to 10 depending on how hungover I am...

If I dont see you at the ramp I'll stop by your campsite Scott... and we'll either find Paul (Oldskoo) and his crew at the ramp or he'll find us easy enough if we're already out.

Hopefully we can be there by 11am on Friday morning. Our camp reservations are for Friday and Saturday nights. Got my dudes and Brenden staying at my pad on Thursday evening. We'll try not to get too crazy that evening so we can wake early. Wake at around 8:00, be on the 9/9:30 ferry and be at the camp by 10am..skis out and in the water by 11am.

I'll be there Thursday afternoon...going to try to catch the 11:30 or 12 noon ferry..... I took a vacation day on Thursday so I could get an extra day in... I may ride for a bit on thursday, but not as much as I will be on Friday and Saturday....

Uh oh..now I got some superjet issues. Not riding for a while I was unaware of the problem that now i'm faced with. Sputters at mid throttle. Thought it may be fouling the plugs a little or just not gettin good spark, but no luck there. Taking it to my cousin's test tank to check spark, compression, etc. I"m hoping if it's anything, it's electical because that can be replaced easily..given I get the parts in by next thursday. Nothing like last minute wrenching..but then again..this is also my usual. Damn by bad luck with skis this year. It will run for next weekend, but I want it tip top..if not, then i'm bringing my stock sxr.

A backup is always good. The stocker has been my backup for racing all year too. Many problems with my limited race ski as well. That's a whole different animal. Didn't expect to have problems with my superjet right before this ride. I still may bring that as it still seems to have the good bottom end punch I want for waves. SXR is so heavy for that.

Eric...as I spoke to you yesterday I mentioned we both had the same setup as far as pipe, head, etc. What compression are you running? Never checked that when I bought the ski last year. A lot of just gas and go.

Away with the gggggggrrrbbbbllll...hello brapp. Got that problem fixed. Pop off pressure was way low...12psi... we cut some springs to get it back to 21psi. Also rebuilt the carbs and tested it in the tank. Thought it was electrical at first...maybe bad coil causing the bog, but glad I get the bugs worked out. Good pop and rpms now. I am still running lower compression though. Not really sure what I was when I bought this ski, but it's running 155 in both now. It's enough to get my through the weekend and rest season before looking more into it later in the year.
