Merry Christmas and good afternoon! Hope Santa was kind to all and great gifts were received all around. Since the kids weren't scheduled to arrive at our house until early afternoon I snuck out this morning and got a nice ride in. The weather, although cool, was spectacular for a Christmas morning ride. I really felt quite blessed. I hope to be able to link up with some of you crazies in the New Year. Be safe out there.

Hope everyone had an awesome Christmas and that Santa was good to you all. Bob you're in big trouble now. My son got me Tourist Trophy for Christmas and although me skills are as sharp as a butter knife I'm honing them to be razor sharp for our next encounted. Harv you be warned too. The Woodland GP is only 7 months away. Cheers FunJimmy | ||

Jimmy, How are you gunna win when you need a Full 8 month's of honing? I'm not seein it. Har har har! Bob | ||

Well heck, ditto to all the above. And you know I mean it. I'm at the library and their main frame crashes whenever I try to put up a smiley face or a picture of Natas, so you have to just imagine all kinda crazy stuff winkin' and waveing at you. Dr.Jimmy, I concur completly with your prescription for a run darn soon, so let's get ready for the LAUGH ride and saddle-up! As for you Greeneric, don't listen to them basturds. I had the numb finger thing also. Dr. wanted to CUT INTO MY BODY to theoreticly fix something or other. I declined his kind offer, wore a carple tunnel brace thing, (available at your local__________) and despite the Dr.s'astonishment I was eventualy cured by a bolt of lightning sent by Baal and Chutulu. Bothers me seldomly, and never has been an issue on the bike. (of course my body knew I would kill it if it couldn't still ride, so it had little recourse but to comply) But seriously, be sure to get as many opinions from different doctorbs as possible. Mabey one who is not a surgon? I want to see ya this summer. And to Bib, dude I heard that Duc run last week and OH MY DOG, it sounds freakin' unreal! If you hear it, it will be all over. Load'er up kinda deal. Done. Yup. So Happy Happy Joy Joy to all! See ya sooner, Galen | ||

FYI I'm looking at a '77 Honda CB550F as a vintage project. The bike was a daily rider last summer and looks real nice. Anyone have experience with these old timers or know what to look for? Jimmmy | ||
| Buellnuts |
Its a honda, knock the dust off and ride! Bob | ||
| Buellnuts |
Like this?  Bob | ||
| Funjimmy |
Ya! Just like that one. Wanna sell it Bob? Jimmy | ||

sweet  brings me back to my high school days... kreem the tank, clean the carbs, get some clubmans and ride the snot out of it! The supersport was the shiznet...red with the 4 in 1 exhaust...of course a RD 400 will smoke it | ||
| Bib |
Galen, I'm keen to get back on a Duc so I'm hopin' that it works out. Nice to see everyone suspend the lurking to spend a minute in the bright light of our home on the web! Don, Lo, Jimmy, Eric, Stu, Marc...... Motorcycle show in January sounds like a good excuse to hang around and drool a bit. Let's get together. Harv | ||

Jim, my first bike was a 77 400 four, wish I still had it. watch for fork seals ,steering head bearings, worn/stretched cam chain which is driven from the center of the crank ie; split cases to remove. the rear brake is mechanially operated via pushrod and very sensitive to setup. look for loose spokes on the wheels to name a few, cool bike though. mine would go into a wicked tank slapper when banked over at anything over 70 mph.  . sunday looks good for the bike show and will probably be there when the doors open, the Benelli tnt is up there on my list of favorites Bob. Happy Newyear everybody ! Don. | ||
| Buellnuts |
Don, Is this what you want? Is there a dealer base up there?  Cool Bike. I think If I get a new Bike this year I'll be getting one of these.  Bob | ||
| Shooter |
hey Bob, what about the Tourno?  | ||
| Additude |
ya, that's the puppy Bob, you like? and yes there is a dealer in town. it's on the "to do " list. | ||
| Additude |
awesome aprilia btw. how you doin ? | ||
| Sparropie |
Unfortunatly I will no longer be able to associate with BOB if he gets that 'thing'. It's far too beautifull, and far too fast. It's too hard TO KEEP UP WITH HIM NOW! sheesh Whats a friend to do... I guess I'll just keep trying sooner, Galen | ||
| Buellnuts |
Wait! Thats on my dream list! Don't know how this year will shake out yet and the Kitchen must be done. I really like the 04 Mille and there is still brand new ones to be had for really cheap. The Speed Triple will have to work for a while and I still love the bike. Don, I'm doin goooood! Life has treated me to some really good friends, good wife and who could denie these razor sharp looks. Har har. Oh, I still have my Fan Club too!  Rumor has it that Chris has hooked up with BIG Shelly again and thats why know one has heard from him.  Loni, (shown Here) Has rejoined the circus and is working out nonstop!  I wish those two the best of luck and I hope they rejoin the group some day. Life is great, Bob | ||

Happy New Year to all! I'm in for the Daytona party. Missed seeing ya'll at the IMS. Pints with Harve and Stu at the Vancouver show sounds good. And that bike of Jim's is four years newer than my first bike. Which me and buddies Trevor and Jim Beam disassembled one night and never put back together. I took it in to get bored out for a 630 kit and they returned it bored to fit pistons 50 thou oversize for a 750. I didn't know anything about combustion chamber size and stuff at the time but I highly doubt it would have worked in any case. I sold it in two 20 gallon buckets. My 883/1200 conversion on the Sportster was my redemption project. | ||

Debbie speculates that Chris is a professor in an out of state college. We don't know how he manages BIG Shelly, his new job and the move. New update! Loni's got a new dude!! Ex Circus freak Zeak, Handsome as they come.  Fun Jimmy, This guy has been asking about you, something about you, Like you need to get checked for something.  Have a great new year BOB-N-DEB | ||
| Funjimmy |
Thanks for the visual Bob. Have a great time tonight. Jimmy | ||
| Bib |
Happy New Year everyone! 3/10/07 sounds like a very good time for the Canucks to visit. Come to think of it that might be the perfect timing to make my X1 an inhabitant of the US of A. Harv | ||
| Buellnuts |
Harv, Did ya do the deal? Mike, Did you ride today? Report please. Bob | ||
| Mtrbkmike |
Bob I did ride today. Made it 10 miles in 40 degree rain. My what was I thinking? Mike | ||
| Greeneric |
Happy 07 everyone! Galen, yes for sure no cutting. Luckily my doc is "old school" and he's not even wanting to do any imaging yet. Still working on physical therapy and seems to be helping. Mike, got your message and left a voice mail back. Sorry couldn't make the ride today, but I had to work (can't pass up double and a half time!). I sure enjoyed your detailed ride report though. So some friends of mine gave me the dvd for the Long Way Round series with Ewan MacGregor. I read the book earlier this year and while the book was excellent, the dvd was an incredible video of their ride around the world. More than just a documentary of two mates' motorcycle adventure. Some of the conditions they were faced with and obstacles they had to overcome....amazing. The people they met...and the countries...Russia, Kazakstan, Mongolia, Siberia, the Road of Bones... Anyway, put this on your Netflix list or go get it and I guarantee you will enjoy it. Amazing. | ||

Mikes race report - communication is a strong suit. Or better yet, that is my strong suit, typical wife always talking to much!  Race report on Mikes behalf - I woke up really early - in fact far to early considering I didn't have my kids at home and could have just stayed home and snuggled with the wife - NOT there was a ride to be done and I was prepared. After spending the day before making sure the bike would start, getting it all washed and pretty I was set. I suited up, packed the rain gear in the tank bag, plugged in the electric vest and headed for Cycle Gear. There were several bikes there ready for the big ride, although no bikes were as clean as mine. After assessing the ride destinations and conditions I soon headed back home where my lovely wife was cleaning the house and happy to see me return safely. It was wet and cold, but it was all worth it, I got this cool polar bear pin - that Cody has displayed proudly on his dresser. I spent the rest of the day on the couch under a warm quilt with my two dogs. THE END. PS.... my feet warmed up by about dinner time! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE - KIMBERLIE | ||

New Years resolution - Reno to Vegas - on the KTM of course. | ||

Duane in the Membrain... I am in for Daytona. sooner, Galen | ||

Eric, The Long Way Round is an outstanding series. It's my favorite 2-wheel movie. It's hilarious and inspiring. If I ever have the resources and the time I'd love to do a ride like that, on a smaller scale of course. |
