The VMC is a good Riders Club.I am listed there as OLBIKER.A bunch of us GreatLakers are going to the nat`l meet in Billings Montana.I believe its the last weekend in July.You are welcome to ride with us.
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience

That's one bad Mutha. Throughout my teens & into my late twenties I raced motocross. My faves were my 500cc two strokes. Yamaha YZ's, Suzuki' RM's, Honda Cr's & KTM's I had a bunch of hot bikes. 1/4 mile one handed wheelies, crazy aerials and arm stretching power. I wear 14 screws, two foot long stainless plates and a bone graft out of my hip as a reminder of how much fun I had. Cool thread.

I love the old Triumphs.. First big bikes I drove were Tridents; a '70 and a '72.. Good engines, good handling, only problems were the damn ticklers on the carbs.. never failed that one of 'em would stick and flood the engine.. True PITA...

Larry Thanks.. Nice to know another Ultra ride with great taste.. LOL... The dealer came yesterday and picked up my '05.. the garage looks kinda bare.. He offered to bring the new one down but nah... I wanna ride it home.. I have a feeling I'll have to make a trip to the doc after I get off.. They'll have to figure out a way to get the grin off my face.. Hehehehee..

Honda Fat Cat on the left, my buddies preference, and my Yamaha Big Wheel, I like the bigger rear tire the Big Wheel offers and the manual clutch, the Fat Cat is automatic
