All SpineRaids have things in common.

SpineRaids in the southern US? Maybe more things in common than not.....

Second South'n SpineRaid, 2006, Sweetwater, Tennessee:

Yep, that's @Bill Hagan. Yep, they're fly fishin'. Uh, yep, in the parking lot . . .

 

Docc, who owned the (spine frame) Daytona? I like those dual headlight Hinckley bikes.

A fellow named David out of Alabama. He also had a Café Sport.

Chuck, ride the Aero Lario down to Burkesville KY to the KSR......

[Chuck]

Thinking about it. I'd have to bring my sweetie though, so I'd have to put the AeroLario in the van..

All the ducks haven't lined up, yet.

You need a dog.

Coming down to the forced decision to take off a tire with 300 good miles left in it, or take a 300 mile tire on a 500 mile ride . . .  

[Joe]

My vote- Ride the miles out of the tire.     🛞

Well, I tried. Rode the Sport over 500 miles in April. That's pretty good for just going "around the block."

Out of time if I expect any push-back on the Waddington Effect before heading for Dale Hollow Lake, and points beyond . . .

Just two weeks, and a few days, now . . .

And I will never vote down new rubber.  Prevents the should've could'ves.

If I do my math right, and I could get that last few hundred miles out of this tire, it would mean getting the last $25US from it.

I'd give $25 right now to never worry about it again for the whole ride.

If the Wheels Off Maintenance Checklist is to be believed, there are also brakes to service and wheel bearings to check.

Y'all-boys have shamed me into this. I could even hear my own voice saying, "Decent Tune-up " . . .

Docc, you will be able to scrub the front tire in on the way to the KSR....

Hey Joe,  Thanks for all the help/info. We reserved a lakeview room at the Lodge. How far is that from your cottage work shop?, walking distance? I'm going to bring a spare 02 SCURA ECU, connecter cables and computer. If there's time maybe we can play with some V-11 tuning mods to go along with those Decent Tune Ups.
