What he said... "The single biggest improvement you can make to the shift action of your V11 is to lengthen the shift lever arm and incorporate a neweye end mount hole 12mm ctr to ctr from the original upper hole."

Good luck..Do you normally ride long ride alot of back to back long rides? 500 per day is certainly doable but it seems like a lot 5 days in a row on a new to you bike. Don't push yourself too hard, smell the roses..:-). Have a safe and enjoyable trip!

Yes they used to play at the Original "Lingerie", a tiny dive bar in Santa Monica/ West L.A. area on Pico Blvd near Bundy Ave, along with other struggling Bands, like The Burning Sensations, and "X", in the real early 80's like 81, the first time I saw them, they were Heavy Chicano music, then I think around 83-84 Steve Berlin who had been playing with Top Jimmy and then The Blasters came along and really add'd a lot to their sound ..imo.

I used to see them around L.A. fairly often in the early 80's...1981-82-83 when they would play in Culver City or over in Hollywood at Club Lingerie...always a good performance! Steve Berlin was playing with them and and Top Jimmy and the Rythm Pigs in those days I believe.

I've done that ride this time of year...Very nice.

When I first saw Chuck he was just staring over again, traveling the midwest in his car with just a guitar and Amp, My lifelong good friend who is a few years older than me Tom Hankins ,a bass player, (who I still see and talk to often and who has a Blues Band in Los angeles now that I go down to see once and a while )was just starting a band up about that time, they backed up Chuck in our town on the spur of the moment one night when they were 17 years old ..they had never played a Chuck Berry song but jumped at the gig, ..they just faked it..Chuck was good to him and didn't complain. They went on to back him up 2-3 more times years later, My friend Tom later went on to open for The Animals, Cream, The dave Clark 5, The Everly Brothers, Little Richard, The Allman Brothers..and on and on . He liked Chuck a lot...

I saw him the first time in 1964 when I was 12, My mother worked in a Big Hotel in the midwest and told me he was there and playing across the street in a Big Dance Ballroom which my Mothers friend owned. I found out thru my mom what room he was in and I camped outside the door for a couple hours in the afternoon until he came out and then I quietly rushed to ride down the elevator with him..he was nice..and said "Hello youngster"..He had his guitar case in one hand and a little Fender amp he was carrying in the other and was walking across the street to play..I tagged along my Mothers friend Daryl who owned the place, let me go backstage with him..and I just sat there in Awe until he went on..then I watched the whole show from back stage..the old amp he used was constantly shorting out and he would walk over give it a kick from time to time so it would play ..but he still sounded awesome to me...I had never heard music like that or seen a guy like that perform. I saw him once more there in the early 60's... The thing is he was REALLY careful with his money,( cheap) the venue's would have to supply his backup band ..sometimes they were simply Awful local kids and had never even heard his music...He would not play a note unless the promoter paid him in full in cash in advance.

O.K...I checked, I have 2 one with a little tear in it..but otherwise good condition..you can have that if you want it. Probably cost me $20-$25 bucks to ship it since they are kind of bulky...send me a P.M if you want it and I'll get your mailing address info. cheers!

I think I might have one if I do you can have it for the shipping cost , I'll take a look today.
