Say Grant, isn't that the coolest thing about motorcycles, that they all have their own personalities no matter what it might be.- 41 replies

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.- 41 replies

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.- 41 replies

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.

ANSWERED Twentieth (XX!) South'n Spine Raid 2024
Skip replied to Admin Jaap's topic in Meetings, Clubs & Events
Hey there Doc and all the other SSR-20 participant's , I finally got a chance to sit down at my computer and check in. I had an absolutely wonderful time hanging around with all of you, eating, drinking, a tech session, and even some time riding the Skyway and the Tale. Also had a chance to spend Friday with my son Joshua who came up from Atlanta just for the day. We took to the plains right behind Hardies and flew RC gliders and FPV drones. The reason it took so long to check in is that I decided to take a side trip to Rachelle, Illinois to watch the Union Pacific 4014 BIG BOY steam locomotive arrive and depart the old town railroad station. (and yes it is HUGE) Whistle blowing, steam hissing, black coal smoke belching, and all other kinds of mechanical noises, it was truly a site to witness. Hope everybody had a great time at the SSR-20, I'm sure you all did. I'll keep my fingers crossed in hope for next years RADE-21. Cheers to ALL SKIP -

Hey there All, I am getting things together for the XX gathering. This morning I connected the 02 Lemans to my laptop and ran DIAG to make sure every thing was up to spects. Installed a freshened up set of iridium side gaped spark plugs. Changed the brake, clutch and trans fluids, also checked engine oil that was just changed not so long ago. I believe that I am good to go, keeping my fingers crossed. Am bringing the lap top, all cables, charger, manometer, fan, spare 02 Scura ECU, and misc.(possible Test & Tune event) I had two others ditch on me (won't say who), so coming solo this time but that's ok because I know I'll be in good company. See all of you then. SKIP
