    Cool - that's neat when you can get your handle on your bike like that. I like it.

    A friend of mine just bought the new 2009 Screaming Eagle - the Orange/Grey color - incredibly sharp looking bike - for 40K out the door with couple of options put on. The price for this trike I think is very respectable - especially given the cost to convert one as someone else had mentioned.

    Thanks for asking about the West Coast gang - those "small quakes" just shake things around, maybe bust a glass or two - but here in No Cal anyway, we have been having a bunch of small ones - which I guess is better than the BIG ONE they keep saying is coming?!

    I have a member in our chapter that has one on his Royal Tour Deluxe - he purchased that Royal from a mutual friend of ours. Meaning, that the seat was custom fitted/made for the original owner - however we are all "about" the same height, weight etc. I used the Russell seat for two weeks. I will say the seat is comfortable, what I didn't like was having to "climb" way forward towards the tank for stopping, whether at stop signs/traffic, whatever. I understand that that is normal for anyone with those seats and that you get used to it. I have a Rick Meyer seat on my bike - 200% more comfortable than the stock seat - but not quite the "barcolounger" and deeper cut that I am still searching for. Like Squid said, though, I know several people who have and swear by the Russell seats, just know that in stop and go traffic, it will take some getting used to.

    Hey, Pete - I am no mechanic - but reading Buddy's post - brought back memories of earlier this year when one of my buddies and myself replaced the rear pads. I was on a ride - and all of a sudden had no rear brakes. That is very scary - and I was one up - not pulling a trailer. I ended up having to replace pads AND rotor. Buddy was spot on - it was fairly easy, and it didn't take too long. I wouldn't wait - try and do something ASAP - it might save some money and headaches in the long run.

    WOW - that is sweet - great job. Whose fairing did you use?

    The 4 corners as Eck said - Durango - Cody as Condor said - I think some of those are great places - and could attract the West Coast crowd out there. As YamahaBev said (or something to this affect) - let's have it somewhere where the weather will at least be decent when we get there - because for many of us from California - we would go across Nevada - and that ain't fun in the heat (I'm sure from the East might as well - I apologize, I haven't travelled that much in our Country). And, I would second what Squid said - I think the scenery around the main meeting place might be secondary - its about "shootting the breeze" with everyone, easy access to Restaurants, etc. Smaller rides will happen - but for many driving the 1500 ++ miles to get there - will be fun. Reading the fun everyone has at Don's Maintenance Day, Pork in the Pines, the Eureka event, it seems the comradery always comes first - with the riding secondary - I could be wrong.

    Not to highjack the thread - can you mount these risers on a Tour Deluxe? I thought you could - but someone told me that these risers won't work on the Tour Deluxe?
  12. Lone Eagle
    Wow, Scott, that is one gorgeous bike - good luck.

    Hee Hee - as an eating club with a riding disorder - we don't know the difference sometimes between burgers, pancakes, waffles - etc. But this meeting place Jack is talking about is in Sacramento - so as not to confuse anyone. I will be leaving the Shell Station in Pleasant Hill at 7AM - see information in my previous post - so anyone from the bay area can meet me there and we will all ride up to meet the Sacramento group at the In and Out - and/or whatever is next door to In and Out.
