Hope everyone has a great time this weekend. I wish I could be there but I can't.

I actually had a thought of leaving Florida tonight around 3 am and driving straight through, be there through Saturday and then leave to head back on Sunday at 3 am but somethings came up that I can not get out of, so there will be next year.

 

sorry you cant be there bud, ill try to have enough fun for the both of us

 

Hopefully you can pull it off!

 

If he can't I'm sure we can!
Bummer that you will miss out.
We are just about ready to head up! Hope to see you all this weekend.

great weekend, although i heard some horror stories about some groups and the "harley crowd" i didnt have any issues with them, other than the fact of a fuller dresser almost becomming the backend of a suburban!

i think when everything calms down, we should all head back to hurrican mtn road to have some moar fun

 

Spectacular time and weather was awesome this year

Took some pics here slide show


Last pic is friend and his gf who drove all the way up frm MD

 

Had a great time this weekend as well. Wayne and his crew did a fantastic job for their first MOT, I thought! I am a bit lobstah-fied, but couldn't have asked for a better day.

On a quick side note - just so that everyone knows - It's a $176 fine in NH for not running a front plate. Thank you, Mr. Sheriff for the kind word of warning.

 

why dont you have a front plate?

 

Great shots Dave, thanks very much for sharing.

 

Dave, it was great to see you again! We had a blast, but I fear that some of the bikers didn't really like, or appreciate my hat. Thanks for the awesome pics and I will be getting up there again soon. It has been too long!

 

I dont think the bikers appreciated me making monkey noises and raising my arms in the air while they rode by

 

Hey waved at you Saturday on 28 in Allentown. Was on my way home from MINIs on Top.

 

Had a good time. Was wishing I had a plow mounted on the front of my MCS toward the end of the day. Anyways...

 

So any of the N14 gents on here replace the valve cover themselves?

 

HEY NOW...I Resemble that remark. LOL!!! I have ape hangers...

 

They also didn't like my pink hat! Whatever....

 

im sure your not a stereotypical harley rider!

 

I do have a chain wallet too. lol

 

I hope everyone has a great 4th!!! Have fun and be safe.

 

Had a great 4th weekend - Went to leave Maine, and my MINI wasn't happy...

Threw a couple codes and idled really hard - cleared the codes, turned it off, didn't have any trouble driving home - other than the car stuttering on acceleration with about 10 miles left of the trip home.

Went to start it today, and it was hard to get it to start - stuttered hard, and it idled really sporadically. Threw the same two codes, went into limp mode, and was un-drivable - anything over about 1500 RPM was too much for the car (can't even back it out of the parking spot...)

Codes are P0088 and P1216 - both are fuel delivery codes. One being a fuel rail code and the other being a fuel pump emergency operation code (sounds ominous LOL).

Hoping it's a HPFP issue (warranty). Going to get some advice from here and there before I get it towed anywhere.

Could just be a clogged injector or something coked up. Hard to tell without opening it up, or spending money for the dealer to tell me what's wrong...

 

Good news - it was the HPFP and Bedford took care of it and sent me in my way. Happy MINI = Happy Nick

 

glad it worked out well for ya, did it actually take 8 days to replace?

 

Dropped the car off last Wednesday, and had it back on Thursday morning. It was easy and painless, and Jeff took good care of me. Definitely a move in the right direction from the last time I took my car to the dealership.

 

In other news, I installed a set of TSW Low Profile Jack Points in April. I've since lost two of them (They must have fallen off the car while I was driving).

I like them, but definitely need to figure out a way to secure them better... More LocTite.
