I don't think moving a 1000# mill into your basement qualifies as an EVENT

The curvature of the old lenses would need to be close to that of the goggles. Ask the doc before you buy the goggles. If it's not possible, you could always just tape the old lenses to your face

You have events? !

I had 3 rooms booked at Ben's Nichol Brook motel and 1 of the folks I booked for just backed out, I'll be canceling the 1 room, anyone interested in it ?

Geez Brad! Relived to hear that Lonna and you are ok. Bummer about the bike, but I know you'll have that fixed up soon enough. Let's hope it's a lesson that young girl won't forget.

To do it by the book you need to pull the inner and outer fairing, handle bars and top clamp to get to the nuts to adjust the neck bearings. A special tool is needed to properly set the torque. YES you need to remove the tanged washer that locks the two nuts together, set torque then replace.

I've done those rides quite a few times and never get tired of it. Fantastic roads and scenery that I'll no doubt go back and see again. We were there last month and threw in Glacier NP and Lolo pass / Hells Canyon rd. in Idaho. Also must ride trips.

Short & simple,,,, hold an "International rally" every other or every 3rd year. That said, I've enjoyed every one we have attended.

Here is a video of the track. Not my daughter with the camera, she is on the track and gets lapped by this rider.

Safe travels and again thank you for your service.

Utopia backrest on my RSV wouldn't ride without it.

For the most part you're right about track safety setup, there are a few guard rails at turns, to protect spectators. Luckily she wasn't near one. Of them.

Great point about helmet mounted cameras, never thought about that!

Yeah but we're talking about the princess here , gotta look good doing it ! She's just 24, she'll get it sooner or later . This was her first time down at speed, doesn't seem to have dampened her enthusiasm any, they're already working on getting the bike patched up. What scared her most was sliding down the track on her butt, watching all the other bikes coming at her :yikes:

It's an expensive hobby, $300 for a 2 day pass, plus everything else. She was wearing one of those fancy graphics Arai helmets and put a few nice scrapes on the back of it. Better than scalp and brain bone! The bike is strictly a track bike. they will have it fixed by next track day.

Closed course sportbike track, just a good thing she has all the right gear She tops 145 mph all the time on the straights. She was accellerating out of a turn when the front tire slipped out on a sealer stripe. She just left here and is just a little sore.

115 MPH into a curve the front end washed out on the tar snakes. She slid and tumbled with the bike in hot pursuit! Luckily i5 stopped before it caught her. The Bike sustained some road rash and broken bits & pieces. She is ok, small bruise on her elbow, a little sore on the ribs and neck. She was most pissed about scratching her 1000$ helmet

My head said GO, My bank account said NO ! Sorry we missed it.

Just booked at Ben's motel, looking forward to seeing everyone. 2 friends from Flordia and I from Detroit will be joining us this year. We are booked a Ben's and will depart on Saturday so Florida friends can catch their flight home on Sunday.

Find yourself an old 70's Gravely 4 wheel rider with a twin cylinder Onan engine, the older Gravely's are built to last forever. I have a 1973 Gravely 816 that's bulletproof, shaft driven pto and all kinds of attachments you can add.

About time for a Canadian International .

5th wheel would allow you to tow doubles if you wish. Truck, trailer and bike/boat on trailer behind the camper. 5th wheel is a more stable towing setup.

Best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery. The driver of the cage should be charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

Carbon One makes and se)s arm rests. You can find him in the VR classifieds.
