Blueboarhound Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Looks like my friend Tim will be coming to SSR '15 also. He will be riding his Ducati 1198S.
docc Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Ducatis and Daytonas . . . not the usual SSR riffraff! Before you know it, some lovely couple will be serving espresso from a tricolor kiosk.
Blueboarhound Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Well at least one of them is a spiney, you'll forgive Tim he just hasn't seen the light. My other friend Art was going to come on his '72 V7 but life got in the way and he will not make it this year. On a positive note he is currently negotiating on a red Sport 1100 carby so if the deal goes through perhaps we'll add him to the spiney roll call for '16. As far as the espresso stand goes I wouldn't complain........
docc Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Wow, this stands to be a classy event. Could be a first!! (If some scruffy dude with a ponytail says he's there to valet park your Daytona, DO NOT give him your keys! )

As far as the espresso stand goes I wouldn't complain........ Uncertain of the espresso, but grappa is a certainty. BTW, when are you and accomplices riding down and by what route? Kathi and I will launch on Thursday morning, 10 September, RON somewhere along the way, and (plan to) arrive at Tellico late afternoon on Friday. Not sure of route yet, as so many fine choices. We like SR 42, and will likely default to that from vic. Broadway to at least vic. Marion. Bill
Blueboarhound Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Bill, We'll be leaving Thursday night, not sure of the route yet. docc, How will I tell the scruffy dudes apart?
docc Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 docc, How will I tell the scruffy dudes apart? Easy: look for Goozies
Blueboarhound Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Yeah.....sure.....that'll narrow it down.
motowfo Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 This year I will be acting as part of a liaison team to keep cool feelings between the Germans and the Italians thanks for the folks in Mattighofen. Perhaps a useful tech session will be how to carry a single on the back of a Guzzi! Then again.. maybe I'll ride my Stelvio... undecided at this time...

Kathi - a very decisive Pole -- and I will be on the Norge, as she says that the only way she'll ever get on the back of the Griso again is in a small box after cremation! I suppose I should have told her I was going to do a brief wheelie. Bill
waspp Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 In case Walt gets filled up there is the Farmhouse Inn just down the road in downtown Telco Plains. They are good people and cater to motorcyclists beginning there journey on the TAT. http://www.tellicofarmhouseinn.com
docc Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 I'd like to check out the Farmhouse this year. I heard they took over the accessory trade after Mike shut down his Motorcycle Outfitters. I thought the TAT started up along the Kentucky border in Jellico?
waspp Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 The TAT used to start in Jellico but now begins on Witt road in Telco Plains. After Mike closed Tellico Outfitters a place down on 168 by the Museum took on some of the gear business. The Farmhouse is Just a B&B, good people nice place.
docc Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Thanks for the tips. I think we should try and support these folks. I hope you can hook up with us again this year!
docc Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Is anyone bringing a USB ported computer that can run guzzidiag? If so, I will bring the cabling to read "dashboards." I think it would make for a good tech session to look at various CO settings. Perhaps even zero those that would like that done. For reference, the only two ECU I have seen read were and
