SRL

Docc, Thanks for the heads up, I'll see what I can do to get there. My son actually lives in Brandon and has a Triumph Street Triple so if I can lock down his schedule (military so you never know what he is into) maybe I can stay over there Saturday and both of us meet up with you guys Sunday. I'll keep checking the plan here and let you know.

Now you are talkin"! "SSR - Mandello del Lario"

Thanks Docc! Definitely will be making regular trips to GE and riding with him, he has a Triumph Street Triple R that he is shipping over. Mandello is beautiful, I went there on a Breva 1100 for GMG 2011 and it was incredible, would love to go back!

Well, September has turned out to be a bit busier than originally planned and unfortunately I'm going to have to miss both the SS Raid and the Ducs Fly South gatherings. My son is in the Army in TX and got orders to Wiesbaden (which is awesome!) so he gets a couple weeks off before he leaves, those weeks start 10 Sept. On top of that the neighbor's house went on the market so we bought it for my mother and are closing Sept 8 and moving her up while I have young strong Sgt. arms to help with the furniture. I wish you all a safe and fun filled weekend and hopefully I can join up for the next one.

Dates marked, I hope to get up there and ride with you guys again this year. This time get my Lodge reservation in before the rooms are gone (hopefully no biker weddings that weekend).

IF IF IF you end up going the part out route (or if anyone else reading this has them) I am searching for the fork mount headlight setup (mount and light) and the top clamp gauge mount panel.

Here is a link to 150 hi-def pics of this bike, someone should jump on this one, gonna sell under $7500 with upgrades! http://jq3.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Nero-for-Dale/23651790_dbn98D#!i=1914456070&k=TTPn3w4 Don't make me buy it, I'm waiting on an ABS MV.

Well the speedo failure finally caught up to me on the SSR last week. I have been looking at a Speedhut custom replacement (with Eagle graphic) and it seems like the easiest way to go is the GPS type sensor, why doesn't that seem to appeal to anyone? (It seems like there must be something I don't know about this technology? No reading in a tunnel?) Also the stock gauges appear to be 3-1/2" and the options are 3-3/8" or 4", the 3/8" is closer but everyone on here seems to go with the 4", wondering why? Thanks!

Looks like a nice one on ebay right now.

Had a great time riding with you guys on Saturday, it was nice to get to meet everyone, great group! Bill - sorry to hear of your mishap, have enjoyed so many of your pics and captions in the past I was really looking forward to meeting you, glad you are ok. Hopefully next time I will get into the host hotel and enjoy the after ride festivities (and will get help unloading the Coppa -Doh!)

"It worries me though: you joined V11LeMans.com about a month after me, like ten years ago, and have made 60 posts." (Docc) I listen a lot but don't talk much See you Sat!

Hey Docc, looks like I will finally be up in the area for an SSR. I have tried every year but always had a conflict, this year I still had to wait too long to get a room but at least I got away. I'm picking up a new bike in Dahlonega tomorrow but bringing the Coppa along too and hope to get to meet and ride with all of you on Saturday. I couldn't get into Tellico so staying in Murphy with the US Desmo guys but will plan to be at the Gap around 10:00 Saturday and ride out the day with you guys. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

The one on Ebay is still active. No sale yet. My guess is any sale will take place offline. They should wait till spring. Wait 'til Spring? The riding season is just starting.....oh maybe that is just for us here in Florida!

Did anyone on here grab the one that was on ebay the other day?
