More Pics

OK well, I finally got a chance to sit down with the computer. First I'd like to say hats off to Doc For everything that he does.(BIG hug My friend} Gus and I had a fantastic time this year At the SSR. It was great to see and talk to everyone that showed up Including Kevin, A fellow Michigander Who Rode his O2 V11 Le Mans All the way down.(Kudos) Gus and I trailered ours. Because it's just too much saddle time And so Few days. My older son Josh, came up from Atlanta And met us at the lodge On Friday, early Afternoon. We all spent the rest of the day and evening. Behind Hardy 's.at the. large field, Where we flew RC gliders. Josh. also spent Friday night, Which gave us a chance to mingle in the garage, and then at the pavilion, were everyone all told stories and shot the breeze. Gus and I managed to ride 180 miles on Saturday, even though it was a little damp at the higher elevations Up in the Appalachian Mountains. We ended up with a cruise through the dragon's tail and stopped a few time for some pics, which I'll try to post. All in all it was a great time with friends and fellow riders And already looking forward to next year. Everyone stay healthy and ride safe! SKIP

Perfect riding weather

Well, a lot of things had to align before I could commit to the RAID. But alas all have come together so Gus with his 07 Norge and my 02 LeMans will make the drive down. Will also bring Guzzi Diag with related gadgets and gismos. Looking forward to good times and good riding ! See Y'all there, SKIP

SLICK for SURE !!!

Mine is the newer wet clutch, All seems to be good.

Say Grant, isn't that the coolest thing about motorcycles, that they all have their own personalities no matter what it might be.

Hey Phil I also have a Ducati Super Sport, so it's tough to decide which one to ride. Both the Super Sport and Le Mans beckon me like alluring sirens.

Hey Grant, Good to have you on board. V11s talk to you quite nicely especially under load and gradually rowing through the gears. The engine the gearbox the clutch and the drivetrain all tell you what's going on, You just have to listen and appreciate. And yes snow here today also, 2 inches. Just waiting for a good rain to wash away the salt and the sand to get out the mighty LeMans.

The sound and the feel is equaled by no other. You made the right choice !!!

I remember in 69 and 70 While still in high school I worked at a Standard Oil service station I thought I was the cats meow with my own uniform and Embroidered name on the shirt. We would always hurry out and pump the gas clean the windshield Check the oil Yes those were the days of yore.

Opps, I stand corrected . Still, it looks Yeller.

I like YELLOW

Boy those spines are good looking bikes

You have a true Cafe Racer there Josh, and it runs and sounds great.
