Wetton was with King Crimson IIRC

Which was Booker T's MGs and Otis Reading's bands. I pretty sure that ain't Booker.

so who's on the keys?

Dallas Alice

I didn't go there but those are the words. I did have a chance to see them with Lowell. According to the book, backstage they were volatile bunch.

We've had 60+ degree weather all week but there are still some snow piles cleared from parking lots. I'd just come from Don's place trying to get my commission money. All I got was a lousy photo.

Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made, Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed ........ but I'm still willin'

I'm kicking myself for not getting a commission.

I would only paint a Greenie as a very last resort. Best of luck.

Guzzi did offer a brace at one time. It wasn't installed on the bikes originally and is no longer available. Don at Motiv made a batch after repairing my bike. It's a pretty simple "crescent moon" brace and a few fasteners.

Anyone with a red frame V11 Sport should get the the brace kit from Don at Motiv. I think I bankrolled much of it from my repair. He traced out the brace from a rendering of the factory part (no longer available), made a run of them and includes the bolts and fasteners. I think he still has my can of red paint. Contact Don here. https://www.motivcycleworks.com/

I got my GB case fixed. Of course the transmission had to be removed and taken apart- all beyond my skill level. For the fix, it was sent to powder coat oven for several heat cycles to clean out all the residual fluids and then welded. So far it's held up. The shop that did it for me sells a brace kit to prevent it from happening again.

wow, I live in Edmond and didn't know anything about it. I remember when I joined the board there was a fellow in OKC that had a Coppa but he left the board about when I got on.

He's The Master of Space and Time.

food for thought

I see that Robbinsville has a Quality Inn now. There's also Tapaco Lodge on 28.

The bags are Givi knock offs, the expandable type. Not the same quality as the hard bags on the Multi Strada. The the bolts in the brackets can shear. Most owners (myself included) have those bolts tapped to a larger size. Despite that, they can hold a fullface helmet (unlike a Goldwing) and are serviceable for most trips. Other than that, it's been as reliable as a Honda. By comparison, I've ridden the 2nd Gen SS and it's quite a bit more aggressive in the riding position vs the new bike. The new bike has a very comfortable seat and the riding position is more relaxed than the V11 Sport.

It's the most comfortable bike I own.

Here's my new version of the bike. I've got 22k miles on it.

Just rediscovered this nugget on the local Blues Radio.....Now that I have the record platter going, I happened to find it hiding with the Shelter People on the bottom of the record cranny.

How many Groundhog Days until the weekend after Labor Day?

I got gas at BucEe's and the MPG Tracker on my Corvette lost about 4 mpg and never caught up to the previous readings despite costing a dime+ more a gallon. Then the stores are so big you have to walk two blocks from the gas pumps to the bathroom. And TMI, usually when I stop, I need to go. BTW- the crap sold there, whether consumable or not, ain't cheap, and it ain't special. Just another instance where Texans think they invented the first gas station, or BBQ, beer, kolaches, tacos, football or any other common place thing or idea. Just making it bigger and expensive or putting a star on it doesn't make it better or even as good. I could tell ya what I really think but I think I'll keep tactful about it.

Dave, The '65 is prettier than the '67. OTOH, I have don't know what year 'vette you got rid of.

My gosh Docc, you & Phil are the Britannica of this business.
