Ah cool, bet she sounds great!

it sounds as 'bad' as it looks ... especially w/out the exhaust discs being used.

[bobgroger]

I have a brushed set on Frankenbike with no disks, it is actually pretty quiet. It is a bit bent up and flattened though.Much quieter than my V&H. WHen I get to that bike, I will take the baffle out and have a look....

Nice looking Kat and interesting rear rim.

Just completed a 2 day ride from Washington to Fallon nv today, and will be doing a reverse trip in about 2 weeks.

Mandatory photos (yes i know, 2/3 of the group were on harleys). I'm the only one not in the photos cause i took them

Did almost 500 miles today with my son on a pair of Guzzis, along with my nephew on his big Indian. Buddy of mine has my GS850 right now

After an infuriating mesage from a family member I was quite stewing with anger, wanting to unload in return. I was reminded by my wife, who I've told many time when she was in similar situations to play it cool, no need to get involved with long explanations, they are not owed one, etc, etc. Short and to the point..... Damn it's hard sometimes to take ones own advice......

I went for a ride.....
Briefly hitting 115 revealed that the missing fairing is indeed hugely helpful at blocking the wind.
I also blew by a couple of ape hangered Harley guys airing out their pits at a whopping 60 on the highway. A friendly cyclist I was not during my venting. .. But it sure made me smile.

You're funny DB. Glad you got to ride and saw humor in...er, uh...ape-hangers airing out their pits.

Today I took the Suzie out for a morning ride to Alice's Restaurant in Woodside, CA and then took the long way through the mountain roads home.
During the 80's this was a must do destination at least twice a month, but now this was the first time in 28 years I have taken a motorcycle to Alice's and rode the area. I think next time I'll do it again but take a longer ride. I had forgot how much I enjoyed the ride, the road, the scenery, the smell of the forest, the whooring sound of gears spinning, and the sound of an engine accelerating out of a tight turn.

What a beauty!
I thought Alice's was a figment of Arlo Guthrie's imagination!

You can get anything you want, excepting Alice

[kerrfunk]

Today (7/10) is Arlo Guthrie's bday.
Alice was not a figment of Arlo's imagination, and there was a restaurant (at least later), but in Massachusetts.
