Best regards to all Twentieth South'n Spine Raiders ! What a great bunch of people, fabulous roads, terrific weather, and proper TechSessions (without anything too dramatic) !

Like pulling the Coppa's transmission gears? 

[Goofman]

Best SSR ever!

[docc]

Goofman would know. He has been coming since SSR VII.

This year, SpineRaiders from California, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee.

Conspicuously absent: Kentucky . . .  and Varsseveld . . .

There were SpineFrames . . .

There were Sports . . .

And, there was "modernity" . . .

Good to see. We had a half-dozen or so V85 TT, about the same number of the newer V7 850s in various versions, and a couple each of V100 Mandellos and  V100 Stelvios. Old dogs can learn new tricks, after all.

I've been suffering from acute FOMO all weekend, not being able to make it. Looks like you all had an epic time! I'm hoping to be retired in a year, and will plan to make a week of it, and meet you all in-person next spine raid!

After twenty years, this is now etched in binary code (closest thing to stone there is ):

Weekend After (US) Labor Day.

Tellico Plains, Tennessee

Get There.

Bring Tools.

Well , now  that it is behind me. I just started a new job 08/12 working 6-10s w/no time off ..great money and supposed to last 18 mos. Guess what happens 09/09 ? 50% of us were laid off.  

 I could have taken the plunge w/the same results.

@Tellico Andrew on point with @Randy's Coppa Italia in pursuit . . .

Full disclosure, @Pressureangle is an ATGATT guy, but was just pulling out from breakfast, headed a mile back to The Lodge.

I will vouch that he accepts that socks is gear and "all the socks all the time" is the way to roll . . .

Thanks to all of the SSR XX participants, it was tremendous! Great people, great roads, great location and the best motorcycles.

It has occurred to me that, when we asked @Randy about where his "friends" were for the BikeWash, he pretended to be deep into some sort of TechSession.

mySport came home dirty  . . .
