This ride is to commemorate the passengers and crew of the flights that departed Dulles on September 11th 2001. If you've made it in the past there's no doubt you'll show up again this year. Previous years have included a ride down one of the runways at Dulles or have had escorted rides to the Pentagon.

This is because the list has been migrated over to some new list management software, and everybody was re-subscribed via the new software. The new software has a web-based administrative interface, so you can subscribe/unsubscribe or edit "options" via the web, instead of via sending email messages to the software (though this actually still works, though with some changes). Posting to the list still works as before, just send to dc-cycles@XXXXXX . To unsubscribe or edit changes, you can now go to: http://www.dc-cycles.org/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/dc-cycles There's also a link on the www.dc-cycles.org page. Your subscription information is protected by a password, to keep others from screwing around with it. Your 'welcome' message should have included an auto-generated password for you. If not, you can request one from the web admin interface. Of course, you can also change it to whatever you like. Whereas the old software treated the digest and non-digest list as two separate lists, the new software just has one list, and "digest vs non-digest" is an attribute that you can set for your subscription. This attribute should be set properly for everybody, based on which list they were on before. Another attribute allows you to turn delivery on and off, which is a good way to temporarily turn off messages, e.g. if going on vacation or something. More details can be found here: http://www.dc-cycles.org/listinfo.html If you have any questions or problems please let me know. A few more details that only affect a few people are below. -harry If you used to get "rejected due to attachments", read this ---------------------------------------------------------- Some mail software likes to send out email messages with two versions of the message, one in "plain text" and one in html. The old software used to bounce these. The new software tries to isolate the plain text and discard the rest, so if you were getting "rejected due to attachments" before, your postings should work now. If you were on both digest and non-digest, read this ---------------------------------------------------- We have a few subscribers who used to be on both digest and non-digest at the same time. The new software doesn't seem to support this. I've kludged something weird together for these people, though, so you should end up getting both digest and non-digest, and probably received multiple welcome messages, one of which looks like it was sent to a weird meretrix.com address. If you have any questions about this weirdism, feel free to ask. If you had a second "send-only, don't receive any postings" address setup, read this --------------------------------------------------------- We have a few subscribers who wanted to be able to post from two addresses, but only receive at one. For these subscribers, I've subscribed both addresses to the new list software, but turned off delivery (now a per-subscription "attribute") for the 'send-only' address. You may have noticed that you received a "welcome" messages from the send-only address. You'll also receive a monthly password reminder there, which you can turn off if you like. _______________________________________________ dc-cycles mailing list dc-cycles@XXXXXX http://dc-cycles.org/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/dc-cycles _ _ _ _ .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-.

You should ask them why it needs these new parts. While I am not an expert, I've torn down several motorcycle carbs in the past and these parts just don't seem like consumables or even breakables, to me. The only part that could actually wear out is the little rubber stopper that is actuated by the float and allows fuel to flow into the bowls. I suppose technically the floats could get holes in them and fill up with gas, but that would be a surprising turn of events I would think. Next time, DIY... It's not really that bad, especially on a naked bike. On 8/11/06, John Tyburski wrote: > Anybody have good/bad experience with the Criswell Honda shop in > Germantown?

This would cover them. Or if it's a job they wouldnt' want to do because it could take extra long, they would over estimate it, so they're only willing to do it if you make it really worth it. If you're financially well off.. you could just go with it. If you're like me and your dollars count, then I would retrieve the bike and start checking salvage yards and ebay for a whole replacement carb. or I see there are "carb repair kits" for your bike on ebay ($60) in the "ebay stores" section as well as used carbs. my buddy JC (who is a bike mechanic) probably would fix your bike for 10 to 50 percent of that estimate. you can email him at jcaashby@XXXXXX. I'm willing to bet 2 to 1 that would be the case. so my advice would be contact JC first, have him look at the bike, and tell him about the $60 kit and ask if he thinks that would fix everything.

Maybe that was the year before. It is this year too...check out the web site "EVENT INFO" link. They say they are trying to arrange things with the Smithsonian for the opening part, and the Pentagon for the closing part. Seems pretty close to the date not to have at least the major aspects ironed out... -- Mike B. -- "Don't ask the barber whether you need a haircut." -- Daniel S.

It's used by the company our HOG chapter gets its web and list service from too. It works very well. I've only run into one tiny issue with it...it won't allow an address with "/" in the local part. Something like "foo/bar@XXXXXX" will get kicked out as a hostile address with an illegal character. This is either a bug or a quirk, because RFC822 says that that character is perfectly legal. Not many use it, so it isn't a major issue, but something to be aware of. -- Mike B. -- "Careful planning is the key to safe and swift travel." -- Ulysses _______________________________________________ dc-cycles mailing list dc-cycles@XXXXXX http://dc-cycles.org/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/dc-cycles _ _ _ _ .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-.
