Joe Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Docc, On Saturday, some buddies from IMRG Chattanooga are going to ride up and see the geese ride. Steve, will probably be on his Indian FTR1200 up to take a spin on the Cherohala Skyway to Deal's Gap behind my Rosso. I think they are intrigued to hear 90 degree Italian opera rumbling out of our bikes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 I'd love to get that FT1200 Indian parked next to a V11 Sport for perspective and comparison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the long way around. I was going to post this photo here but it was too large. Anway, I was riding in the sauna the other day and there were only two bikes out, so I had to take this photo. The owner said he has two bikes, this and the Indian you're asking about. Next time I see him, I'll see if we can get a photo. Having ridden the Indian, I'd guess they're close in size, even close in weight- they're not fat but big boned. Anyway, you can understand why I took the photo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 (Less than) one week out. MySport is in "BikeWash ." The process of touching everything from stem-to-stern/ top-to-bottom looking for anything loose, suspicious, or overlooked. It is like Parc Fermé, but joined with a dedicated Tech Inspection. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docc, FTR1200 def has more HP, but both it & the V11 Sport are on the heavy side of 450 lbs, so they are more a like than you would think. Steve has a pipe & “secret sauce” map so it’s righteous, but not a superbike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 Weather is looking like typical late summer, Tennessee: scattered afternoon thundershowers after 1pm. Otherwise, no "severe" weather. Just be weather aware. Getting caught up on the Cherohala in an afternoon lightning storm with no shelter is bad form . . . 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Hagan Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Managed to R&R the V7's rear tire without losing any of my blood or fingers. Now, I am cleaning it a bit after a recent run in the rain, tho we all know what a waste of time that is. But, as @Joe posted, we still do it.

I like WR well enough, but am careful with it and when near Versailles. My ex (R.I.P) was from Woodford County. When we parted ways before my present blissful -- Kathi lurks; I am not as stoopid as I look -- incarnation, all her family used exacto blades to cut my head off in family pix. These days, it be easier with PhotoShop and the like. But I still stick to the speed limits in them thar parts. Maybe I should bring the EV instead of the III. The former has capacious luggage; the latter carries the CC's to buy things one needs! I plan to bring a bottle of grappa and a bourbon. Might be a Virginia one, tho that does trouble my Kentucky roots a bit. @Joe, did you get to Owensboro and Green River Distillery? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
