I got off the bike from the last ride and oil is dripping on both sides, my boots are polished. On the side stand, I'd guess a few ounces on the driveway. The top of the V on the motor is splashed, particularly the front. Splashed over the breather tube, especially wet at the banjo from oil cooler. Both the banjo and the sender seem tight. oooh well.... Been there done that with oily boots to prove it.

Good for Josh!

Docc, This is the only pic I got of Bill’s real Italian police uniform he wore to the sKSR. Bill, congrats on pulling the trigger on the new V85!

The BMW is fast, really fast, but top speed honors go to the Ducati. I think Beaubier became a father for the first time, his mind is clear, he’s comfortable winning in American SuperBike & will continue to do so riding this good. Josh Herrin is also due a win on the Duc, possibly in race 2 tomorrow. What’s interesting is watching Yamaha struggle(rare) a little and Suzuki is improving w a fourth place finish today. Competition is healthy this year, making it fun to watch.

Euro Bikes like the longer tracks, higher top speeds make them competitive.

Ok, so I have seen this bike in person, its really good looking ride. Its in Chattanooga TN at Crockett Powersports, who used to be a Motus dealer. https://www.crockettpowersports.com/inventory/2018-motus-mst-chattanooga-tn-37406-2170485i Thumb.jfif Thumb.jfif

On the V11 Sport TT the silver front fender is what makes it cool.

Good looking bike 💰💰💸

Gene without a doubt, you were the official KSR Pit Stop Crew Chief.

I had a buddy from Chattanooga that owned a Motus, he bought from the Indian motorcycle dealer that carried Motus, Crockett Powersports. He paid mid 30's for the top model Motus and said it was a good bike. When the companies investment money dropped out they stopped producing parts like the frame, so he sold it to a NASCAR driver who pulled up in his driveway and gave him 24K. So it was a huge loss inevitably, but a cool design. Crockett's has had a Motus for sale up until recently, maybe he sold it.

Rick, how about this car? Old school MotorWeek Flashback video, super cool Alfa.

Bill Hagan your new bike is ready for pick-up. https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2004-Moto+Guzzi-V11+BALLABIO-5026441318

Gus & @Skip painted the wheels I think they are cool. Maybe influenced by BMW K1 perhaps.

With a Coyote 5.0

Riding with multiple V11 Sports/Lemans is a visceral experience. These bikes really have soul and bellow out a unbelievable sound, especially during a group ride. Kale mentioned on the phone recently that he could hear when our bikes sound would synchronize at the same rpm, like when tuning a musical instrument. It was an epic weekend with experiences found only at a SpineRaid .

For clarity, the pics were lifted off the AFT web site, “pro shots” of the Red Mile. We attended last year and plan to this year also.

This weekend at Red Mile.... https://www.americanflattrack.com/events/2023/view/red-mile-2023

Found a couple more pics from the SpineRaid. Although I had the "idea" everyone contributed to the cause and turned the weekend into a epic time.
