It would put a smile on most guys faces

Harry, I saw the grin on his face last Saturday.  His bike and mine made a Saturday ride together.  It sounds as good as it runs too.  Great sound out of it and just a sweet looking bike.  Hard not to like a red SERK  .

Which reminds me, Thanks, I had a lot of fun Saturday.  Its been a long time since I've been able to get out and ride like that.   

I'm surprised you were ever able to hear the bike.  It seemed like I spent a majority of the day waaayyy behind you.  I occasionally get caught site seeing and/or day dreaming.     But that does allow me the opportunity to open her up a little to get caught back up.  So its all good.

What, how did that happen with a Hi-comp, all cammed up, 110" SERK vs. that heavy FD with a little old 103" Travis? Something's wrong with this picture! Hoist!

2Lane,

Did you guys have the opportunity at least once or twice to roll on the throttle a little bit?   Curious how the bikes faired / compared on the tostesterone runs?   103 muscle kit vs. 110 light hop up.

If memory serves me right I thought it was 120/120 2lane and 123 /117 GhostRider  Totally different gearing in the bikes although the same strokes.

Harry, sorry but no we didn't.  It really was just an "out farting around" kind of day and that's about all we did.  Next time we get a chance I'll see if Travis would be willing to swap bikes for a few miles so we can compare notes on how each of the engines/drivetrains feel in their current trim.  Honestly don't know why we didn't think of it Saturday.  Just having too much fun doing nothing I guess  .

Its all about the rider Howie.  I am still feeling her out a little, especially on twisty tourney roads.  Plus, I had a cager playing with his radio and coming around a corner in my lane almost kill me a few years ago.  I still get a little flinchy going around blind S curves.     Trust me, its not the bike.  I'll let Don take it for a test ride and give you a full report.

Just a side note: if you take any trips with not Don, you just as well plan on it taking a lot longer than normal.  Every stop has to include 20 minutes to get all the gawkers shewed away from the red bike.  And now that he has that pimp daddy ostrich seat.  You just as well add another 5 minutes to that.   

Oh, I guy did mention in passing that I had a nice bike too.  I guess I should hang around with GW's if I want to get my bike noticed.

That one pair of guys was funny with their passing "oh, and yours is nice too" thing they threw in as they walked off.  Was like they thought they might get booted if they didn't say something.  The ironic part is I think the brighter red on your SERK jumps out and catches a lot more attention than does the darker reds of the SEEG.  If I was walking up to the two of them together yours would be the one that caught my eye first every time. 

Most everyone gets hung up on the red diamond cut motor though.  It could be mounted in a wheel barrel and people would still oooh and ahhh over it.  Guess I've kind of gotten used to it now.  But that top end does catch people's attention.

Hey Travis, take a ride to Clinton next Thurs morning with Don! I'll be happy to give it a full test ride for you! Pssst...tell Don, NO ANCHORS ALLOWED! Hoist!

Dang it Howie don't tempt me... ...thinking about it.

Hey Don, can you PM me your riding plans for next week?  I'll see if I can get away from work.  I forgot to mention that upon further review, those red wheels we saw at Pigtrail (or something similar) would really look nice on the red bike.

Travis, I plan to leave here Thursday somewhere around 8:30-ish.  The third gas stop would be Clinton, KY so would arrive mid to late afternoon even with a lunch stop.  Will take US 60 across southern MO.

Friday will ride out with Howie whatever direction he happens to be going and make a day of it.  Then sometime Saturday (maybe lunch time?) will hang a u-ie and head back toward SW Missouri.  I just need to be back here Sunday to catch a flight out Monday morning.

We could even head back this way first thing Saturday to be home Saturday night.  Miss an overnight somewhere and have you home a day quicker.

C'mon, you know you're wanting an excuse to fill that fancy leather tour pak with road stuff  .

I seem to recall reading the actual thread for this trip (I guess we hijacked this one) that Howie is buying the first night we arrive.     If that is still true, I'm in.  I have to get actual approval from the boss (wife, not work).  I will let you know as soon as I know.

Hmm, interesting. Since he will be meeting different members each day/night that would make it the first night for somebody every night on this trip. So does that mean Howie buys everynight?? The things that make you go "Hmmmm".

D00d, you mean you missed the new "Howie Buys" rule awhile back.  It's not just this trip either.  Here, Hot Springs, everywhere man!  Everywhere!

Wow!!! It might just be worth it to attend any ride he's going on.

Since Hoist is currently not logged on, I say YES, Howie buys each night.    Its only fair none of us would be doing this ride, if he hadn't started it.  "No good deed goes unpunished."

Now, who can we talk/force into buying the cigars.....
