I would like to have seen the factory airbox in the pile to "return it to original" . . . Chicks run off with these things all the time.

Bill? Sneaky? Say it ain't so . . .

Last of the two-valve Big Blocks. What's not to love . . .

I always have some favorites from Bill's SlideShow . . .

I love hearing these impressions between Guzzi platforms. Amazing how different they are while being so similar from a motor-chassis configuration. Is that 2007 Norge a two-valve motor?

Great to meet you, @Kevin_T! You must have gotten in close to a 1500 mile SpineRaid on your LeMans?

Very curious what these two might actually sell for, if y'all don't mind posting the outcomes . . .

Too cool! There was talk of north Georgia and T.W.o.Suches this weekend at the SSR. Thanks, @buellish1, for the post! Always great to hear from you! Web link to Two Wheels of Suches: https://twowheelsofsuches.com/

Honorable mention to this returning SpineRaider from most northern New York on his Moto Guzzonda . . .

Our PA brothers checked in, as did NC. Watching for VA and MI. The Michigan contingents came the distance, and one rode his LeMans . . .

Well, my GB500 is just an old bike. @LaGrasta's GB is something quite special: The one-and-only "CW600 " . . .

Other SpineRaiders showed an admirable determination, braved the elements, and returned with wet boots and appreciable stories of the day's riding . . .

Let's just say, "That's not exactly how the weather turned out." Some SpineRaiders kept their soft shoes on Saturday . . .

As our late member Mikko, once told me, "You cannot have too much securement ."

"Whip it! " "Whip it good!"

All-y'all Spine Raiders have fun this weekend! . . . "Welcome home, dear! Did you experience that surreal , uplifting, transcendental, existential experience on your ride ? " "Why, yes, darling, the ride was fun . . ." "Did you cheat death with your awareness and skillset, mastering the physical realm with intensity and purpose ?" "Yes, yes. Quite fun, actually."

I mean, hey, I'm after those G&P! And I would not put it past @Pressureangle to build his own tensioner . . .

Sometimes typos are just delightful. This one reminds me of that girl I dated in college . . .

You built your own tensioner?

And then, what happened . . . What an amazing story. I cannot wait to hear this in person and chase this resurrected Sport across the Cherohala Skyway at next year's South'n Spine Raid XXII . . . @Gmc28, this is your formal (as it gets ) invitation. Bring Dave! You know: Get There. Bring Tools.

I'm thinking the tensioner showed up in the accompaniment boxes. Man, the finishes on your reardrive and gearbox look GREAT! What paint did you use for that?

What fun! Always reminds me of this one . . .
