No, unfortunately I'm not back, and won't be for some time. Just thought I'd stir the pot a little. I really miss you guys. I haven't many close friends, but I always feel comfortable,and welcome when I'm with you. I miss Porters too. Good coffee there

I've been asking just about everyone I meet out here about any old bikes for sale. No joy yet,

Cheers,
Ross

I need details. Who was there?  Who was riding and who wuused out? What did you guys talk about? Did anyone bring show and tell?

Come on guys, keep me in the loop!

I'm heading over to a fellows house this evening who has a shop where he specializes in restoring British bikes ( I think, not sure yet ). I think he also provides custom fabrication services, as well as helping sort out problems for clients bikes. Should be interesting. In the middle of the bald ass prairie. Who knew?

I' ll let you know how it goes.

Cheers,
Ross

Ross I  will step in here.    The wuuses were myself, David,Rob, John and Allan who were all warm and comfortable.  I am told Stan wanted to drive his car the one block to the restaurant but was encouraged by Shawn to do the 10 minute starting routine for the Indian the 3 minute ride to Porters.  Riders were Stan, Shawn, Roy, Peter, and Nico with his magnificent handling Goldwing.  Nico were you trying to turn on the radio, wave at us through the rear view mirror and removing your stuck boot from the shifter at the same time that car was approaching from the rear or was that a skilled maneuver that you have practiced several times.  Ross have you seen those taillights on Roys V11,  those are way too cool and look like the taillights on a 59 caddie.  Conversations at the table were varied and several subjects were talked about including you of course when the ham and bacon arrived.   David bailed me out and brought one of his carbs from the Suzuki for show and tell.   All polished up using simple green, autosol and a clean and dirty set of buffers. ( hope it was Simple Green David)
There is talk about us heading up the sunshine coast next Sunday for a ride as weather forecast is good so look forward to a post from Stan on that.

That about sums up what you missed yesterday morning,  unfortunately my fog filter on my camera phone limited the pictures to none.

No I should just have waited for the car. Back end broke loss when I hit the juice then the front end went into what I call the Goldwing wobble.But the old girl does handle good.

Ross, in the spirit of show and tell I brought along one of my VM34 carbs from the Boise Beauty GS1000S, as I had rebuilt them with new orings and polished up the tops and bottoms.
Yes I used Simple Green to clean them before dipping in Berryman's then used the buffing machine with the white compound and then Autosol for the brass bits and cleaning up the left overs from the buffing.

Here's a look at one here, just for you.
