Ducati & Bimota.....

Docc, took my sons last year in the truck, the event was packed w people and more importantly with bikes that rode to the track. It seemed like parked bikes surround the whole track. Then the museum

Not to step on KaleV11's response, but the bike came new with carbon front fender and windscreen. The side panels and chin spoiler were added later. I always liked the stock silver bike with the pipes, forks and bits, because they matched the engine paint the best of the original three colors offered.

Docc, Bill, Randy, Rick, Eric, Kale, Josh, etc..... anyone interested in a run down to Barber Vintage Days? https://www.barbermuseum.org/barber-vintage-festival/

Bill, A lot of Global Warming has transpired in the 18 years of the SSR. Nicole & I rode down to Tellico Plains in May I think 🤔 & ran into 88 degree days(we were on a 116cc Indian heat box, it was hot) So rain, tornadoes dry weather El Nina, whatever, I like KaleEV enjoyed riding w fellow Spine Raiders. There is something about riding in a group of Guzzi sport bikes rumbling down the road that is drawing me in for more.

This is a pretty clean bike looks ready to go w spare parts, luggage, and a reasonable price. https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/mcy/d/south-milwaukee-moto-guzzi-v11-cafe/7525197082.html

Glad to hear nobody was seriously hurt, very sorry to hear about the motorcycle/truck damage. That all said, it was a fantastic Spine Raid and we all had a magnificent time. Already looking forward to next year, and looking towards some 'pre- raid travelling around there next season. I agree, maybe we should plan a "Spring Meet" gathering the Spine Raider's together to ride, just a thought.......

Docc. I’m glad you stayed calm under pressure.

Docc, This year going to be the SpineRainer's Rally?

Maker's Mark is one of the finest.....

Bill, I grew up about 3-4 miles from Woodford Reserve just inside Franklin County. I currently live in North Spencer County, in the middle of Central KY Bourbon trail. All that said, some Indian riders from Alabama and Chattanooga area rode up and took the "trail of cheers."

Toured the bourbon trail this past weekend....

Bikes washed ✅

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.
