footgoose Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I saw what I've been missing the last 2 years I've known about this ride. The spectacular roads and scenery are only secondary to all the fine folks I've met this weekend. What a superb collection of traveling souls. All the character I could have expected from a gaggle of Guzzisti from this forum. A garage full of beautiful motorcycles, and a motel second to none for this noble purpose. I couldn't think of a better spot to put a put a place like that. Tranquility within throttle shot of such glorious roads. Truly perfection. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRD Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 This was my second SSR and for me it was even better than last years event. Such a diverse group of enthusiasts, rare bikes, great weather and wonderful roads. And truly educational, from ten guys fabricating and replacing one leaky valve cover gasket, to Saturday nights tune ups/tech session, to watching the construction of a loading ramp Evil Kinevil could have used at Caesar's Palace. Truly a perfect weekend. I had such a wonderful weekend, seeing friends from last year and meeting new folks this year. My bike ran great thanks to the folks on this forum willing to share their knowledge to help keep these wonderful bikes running. Already looking forward to next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

czakky Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Not a bad breakdown (as in mechanical issue) a good spine showing too. Glad to see JRDs champagne Lemans made it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 My first Spine raid. Enjoyed meeting all of you and those great looking machines. Thanks to Doc for organizing this and to you guys for making it what it is. Definitely on my calendar for next year. Many Thanks to those of you that had a hand in working on my bike. It was very hot and steamy in that garage, but you got it done Did not take many pictures (why bother when I know that Mr. and Mrs. Hagan will capture anything worth seeing ;-) ) Great ride on Saturday. Thanks to Bruce and Wayne for leading us thru those beautiful twisties. For those of you that think it’s easy to replace a valve cover gasket……… Oh the beauty of “just re-installing” a plastic fuel tank.......... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Hagan Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Some great pix from others, but here are some of mine that err on the side of quantity. Still, they were fun for me to assemble and cull (yes, disbelievers, I really did ).
