Surgery went well this morning. I am back home resting. Hopefully I will be backriding in the next couple of weeks.

Glad it all went well. Sounds like at this rate of recovery you can make this ride!

Help, I need a bigger garage.

I flew down to Corpus Christi a couple of weeks ago, looked it over, paid the man and rode it back that night. I got in DeSoto at 2:45 a.m. Sunday morning. It was a fun adventure on a really awesome piece of equipment.

This bike needs a lot of polishing and some smaller items will need to be replaced (mirrors, misc. fasteners) due to gulf coast weather corrosion. I have been systematically changing all the fluids and checking maintenance items in preparation for the ride.

I am ready. Let's Roll!!!

Sweeeeeet Valk!!! What you need now is a Car Tire!!! See Curtis for all the facts and enthusiasm necessary...

Congrats on the new to you bike! That sounds like a nice project. Will you be riding it this weekend?

Greg Cothern · September 30, 2008, 08:06:43 PM

I might actually get to make this ride, I found someone to take my call this weekend!

Have another potential thing that might keep me, but will see.....

Good luck Greg, hope you get to make it.

It is my plan to ride the Valk on this one. I hope to get through this one without any problems. My record on our big rides is not so good regarding mishaps.

In regards to the rear car tire, the previous owner just put new Avon Venoms on the bike, so it will be a while before the cager tire subject is approached. In the meantime, I'll just have to follow Curtis and watch his go round and round.

Gee Greg, don't you think you could put off washing the ferret until Sunday???

rjb/AKA Bob Barram · October 01, 2008, 02:43:15 PM

That sounds like a lot of big bikes in front to catch the bugs.
BTW, Nha will be coming on his Super and my friend Don on his souped up Harley will be coming along.
I am hungry!!!!

Naaa Bob, more lights up front to attract them so you can run through them!
