I remember... Right after I took off up 275 from you my MAC muffler flew off , gave a car a flat and a truck rode over it and smashed it... But a good day of riding before that!

Found this pic from last spring when I met up with modzsquad and rode HWY 22 in KY.

Well if you don't have it fixed, now's the time. Hope we can get together for another ride next season.

Thanks!

The current project is a custom bag that fits where my electronics, battery and airbox used to go. Just trying to find a place that will make a triangle shaped waterproof bag for me. If I can't source it I'll just make one out of aluminium. I mathed it out, the triangle bag would be just over 10L, the same size as the one on the bump, thus deleting it!

I finished the rebuild this summer but still managed to put about 1500 miles on her before putting her to bed for the winter. The shots with the cliffs are at Lions Head, Ontario. A truly wonderful ride.

can keep up when there are corners, the big block S&S motors seem to have longer legs than my 650, how does that work ?

Finally got a break in the weather and the work! Short ride down the 1 to Pescadero and then up in the hills. This is on Old Stage Rd. just outside of San Gregorio taken w/ my new phone just before sunset.
So much to do, so little time.

I think it's our bikes gearing, we should play with some sprocket changes.
