Most of the work on Thumper here has been done in the driveway.
When I took the rear tyre off in the garage was the only time I dropped it; so back to good weather and the driveway.
BTW, this was the first oil change. ...#5422 Kim Lemke - Montana

=============================
Hello, FSSNOC members and guests! (07-02-20)
What a cool day! Well, it was close to 100 degrees here, I guess ... but that aside, a very cool day! This is your Director, Jack, #000 at FSSNOC headquarters coming to you with this week's edition of the THUMPERGARAGE ...
I was up early ... 9:00-ish, downed my breakfast "smoothie" that Carrie makes for us almost every morning before she jets off to work (LOOKS LIKE A MALT AND HAS STRAWBERRIES, BLUEBERRIES, SPINACH, not sure what else...), then I whipped-up a cup of coffee laced with French Vanilla creamer, put on my leathers, and I'm heading out the shed door...
I rode west, then south, then southwest, down through some pretty greenery and some lightly rolling terrain. I was on asphalt all the way and all the day as I was mounted on my 2015 Royal Enfield Continental GT-535 Cafe Racer (see photo above of Kim's R.E. - I've been told that there are less than 1000 of these in the USA), anyway, I did a 100+ morning loop, lastly swinging by to surprise the grand kids with a Tootsie Pop. They, two boys and a girl, all under the age of 7 and a long-haired toothy maverick pup, all live in a house in the country and they all happened to be outside as I rolled into the driveway ... absolute pandemonium broke loose, the kids were racing around, the dog was barking and jumping on everyone, the Enfield was the only thing that kept its composure ... it was a sweet moment!
Back at the house, I did a couple of hours of club mail to get caught back up with that, then popped a mini-pizza from Wally-world into the microwave. These things never come out the same twice, burnt and tuff one time, chewy and doughy the next, I set it for 3:05 minutes, took the pizza out of the wrapper and put it on a paper plate, placed it in the micro under the plastic cover and ... hit the "go" button. With seven seconds to go, I opened the door and put a handful of grated cheese on top, restarted the micro ... and it came out AWESOME!
Carrie comes home later in the afternoon, we have nachos for supper, during which NASCAR comes on the TV with a repeat of a race from 2002. I've been a NASCAR fan now for a number of years, I know all the driver's names and their games, and, yes, I do have a few favorites ... and Carrie did buy me the best present EVER for Christmas several years back - I got to do a NASCAR Ride-Along, then I drove it myself (!), WOW ... that's a HOOT!
Anyway, as the race neared the closing laps, 15 laps remaining, Kevin Harvick and Junior, both young guns at that time, tangled on-track to bring out a late race caution. A couple of the lead cars stayed on-track, everyone else ducked into the pits for tires and fuel, some taking four tires, and some taking two tires.
One particular driver just got a splash of fuel and returned to the track in the third spot, second row, second car back. Long story short, that driver went on to WIN the Fontana, California race, defeating Kurt Busch in the process ... that driver was Jimmie Johnson, #48 ... getting his FIRST WIN in NASCAR! WOW!
Okay, that was my day ... until now, now I get to update our club website, so the fun will go well into the night tonight! I usually spend about four hours when it is all said and done ... and I couldn't do it without the contributions of comments, article, phots, etc that comes from you guys each week ... THANK YOU ALL!
If you are a FSSNOC member, you are invited to send us some stuff, email it to our club address which is: FSSNOCthumpers@yahoo.com Remember that a photo works best in the "Landscape" mode and send that photo in a large size and as an attachment to the email ... we'd love to hear from all you guys and gals!
============================= Okay, here we go:

=============================
Good morning Jack,
I thought I would give you an update on my Royal Enfield G/T (in a beautiful British green livery)...
I now have about 9,000 miles on it.
I have a great dealer here in Tulsa, OK. { Synergy Motorcycles}
I had a few problems when new, but the dealer took care of everything under warranty.
They even fixed several problems that weren't covered under warranty.
The bike came with a 6 inch headlight.
I didn't like it.
Enfield has a 7 inch retrofit.
I put on a 7 inch, LED, Projector beam headlight ( Much better)
When new, it shook like a ... jackhammer.
As I got more miles on it, it got a lot better.
I also made some heavier bar-end weights.
That helped !
Now at 80, it's smoother than at 50 !
I never liked the stock muffler.
I put on a SuperTrapp from my old SRX .
It fit perfectly.
It now sounds like a MOTORCYCLE !!!!
I was getting about 70 to 75 MPG.
I don't know what the new pipe will do to it.
It doesn't matter, It sounds RIGHT !
The bike now looks, sounds, and rides like a bike should !!!!!!!!!!!!
That's my story and I'm sticking to it !

Thank You, Mr. Threefenders ... good stuff! - #000

New prototype revealed, or, the "Quarantine Project?"
Jay Bogart, FSSNOC #4251, Kansas
============================= from last week's update (06-25-20):
IN SEARCH OF WISDOM ...
read all about it in the upcoming issue of Thumper News #140, Autumn Edition - 2020:
"Making miles and Making memories ... it's what we do!"
PAGE 2 - The above photo will be on the cover, assuming that all works as planned. Ya' never know what is gonna happen these days when the other shoe hits the ground! Tim Nisly, FSSNOC #5258 - Kansas shares with us via a travelogue of sorts, offering lots of fun sprinkled with tidbits of sage wisdom. I plan to get out the ole trusty atlas and follow their route as I read, who knows, might come in handy on some future trip: places to camp, places to eat, places to see...
PAGE 13 - You'll find "rum renna", just after our color centerfold ... it tells the old school story of our ThumperCafe site, the Dutchmaid Eatery in Rentown.
PAGE 14 - A bit of poetry adds a measure of spice to our issue, much like deep-fat fried mushrooms prior to a nice dinner. The subject? Two Z125 Kawasaki's at play, described in rhyming prose by Ro #5375 and Dwain, #5174, also from Kansas.
PAGE 15 - One Man's Odyssey by Steve Oakman, #5266 - Nebraska ... Steve shares his view of what it is actually like to own and ride a JANUS motorcycle.
PAGE 18 - And, of course, a couple of pages about current club "stuff" ... the nuts and bolts of our club and what is happening on the home front.
PAGE 20 - It All Began in a Cemetery ... is the title, can't wait to dig into that one! Masterfully written by Linda Osterhouse, #134 - Ohio.
PAGE 23 - THUMPERCAFE #51 ... all kinds of details concerning our anticipated gathering on the 26th day of August, 2020, a Wednesday ... and we gather for breakfast so be aware of that, make your travel plans accordingly. Perhaps I should add here that those of us who are currently planning to attend are invited to let FSSNOC know so that we can let the food people know, so we can have plenty of that country cookin' ... make sense? Call or better yet, Text 620-663-1869 - or email us at: FSSNOCthumpers@yahoo.com or drop us a note at:
FSSNOC P.O. Box 1809, Hutchinson, Ks. 67504-1809
PAGE 24 - A reminder that JANUS MOTORCYCLES has scheduled a Tour of their motorcycle factory for later in that same day (1:00PM) that we will be gathering. Should work out well for those of us who would enjoy taking that opportunity to tour their facility, hopefully even test ride some bikes, and, yes, some snacks ... as our FSSNOC event, being a breakfast, should be concluded in plenty of time.
Our ThumperCafe site is actually opening at 7AM for those who want to hang out and visit in the parking lot around to the back of their lot. Hot coffee, etc is available "to go" at that hour so we won't miss out on any of the parking lot bench-racing! Our meal is scheduled for 9AM sharp, don't be late, okay?
And that concludes my "mini" review of Thumper News #140 ... coming to a mailbox near you in August ...
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
And, speaking of Mailboxes... This came today, what a treat! Enjoy...
Dear Jack, #000
I received my official club member packet (and club shirt) awhile back and I am proud to be a member of FSSNOC.
In this world of plastic sameness, it is refreshing to see such a club. I am 72 years old and I remember the "Good Ole Days" when we used to do all our own wrenching. No fuel-injection, no epoxy encapsulated mystery components, no kickstand down interlocks, no ABS, no catalytic converter ... a hot engine, two wheels, and a seat, that's what I grew up with. (Note next week's Pandemic Pursuits Item of the Week on the Event Page, ties right in with what Pat is saying! - #000)
I must confess to owning a 2017 Indian Chief Classic for road trips. My everyday "driver" is a 2017 Suzuki 650cc Single (S-40), and I love it!
I was in Northend Cycle in Elkhart, Indiana hunting down some parts for my 1970 Honda SL175 when I saw a new bike with a choke knob! Upon examination, I found a carb, a Mikuni no less, no catalytic converter, simply a bike with no useless B.S. I bought it and took it home!
My Suzuki S-40 rekindles my love for the days when we had large Four-Stroke Thumpers. Shame on Suzuki for it not having a kick-starter. I had an SR500 Yamaha and that was a kicker. I've kicked-over my share of panhead and shovelhead Harleys in my day. I think it is time to toughen-up some of our present day motorcyclists.
Enclosed, Jack, please find two magazine articles I came across when I cleaned out an old desk of mine. The article about the Ducati road-racer really talks about a love affair with such a bike. I think we can all relate to that ... imagine screaming along the Lake Michigan shoreline early in the morning with no traffic, no troopers, wringing-out that Ducati. Even at my age, I'd give it a try!
(Satisfied Mind - by Phil Schilling - July issue of CYCLE magazine, 1972)
The article about the Seeley Condor (The Last Real BIG SINGLE - CYCLE magazine - by Dennis Caprio - June 1972) is included because of my love for British Singles; Matchless in particular, and Lucas electrics.
Do whatever you please with these articles, however, I think the Ducati picture should be framed. - Patrick Duff, FSSNOC #5451 - Michigan
P.S. Hope to see you in August in Goshen, Indiana! - Pat
THANK YOU, PAT! Good stuff, for sure! And, yes, many of those reading this can definitely relate ... Keep On Thumpin', Pat! - #000.

After that, continue on over to the Event Page, in event you'd like to see more and read more, it's what we do here at the THUMPERGARAGE!
