That Vespa with the fender light is a beefy 250cc or 300 four stroke trying to pass for a vintage two stroke ancestor.

We've never done the film Saturday night and just might do it this time if the weather makes Inside more appealing than sitting around the fire.<br /><br />Weather forecast has our crew smaller than it may have been; Lone Rock might not be all that early. Send me an email or text if you think you might be around. Unless the weather is absolutely horrible, we'll be putting miles on.<br /><br />I can't wait either, it all starts for me 3:30 Thursday when I leave St. Paul.Coop a.k.a.

I can't wheelie all over creation any more, getting back just in time for work on Monday.<br /><br />My dad picked up an 8-valve Norge, it's everything my V-11 wasn't. We'll have a Multistrada and a Road King in our group too. If it's raining all afternoon/ evening on Saturday we may make it down to Madison for the movie, and I'll keep Lone Rock in my back pocket for Sunday morning. I'm sure you'll be there bright and early so it depends on what time I get going in the morning.<br /><br />I told Mrs. North that it's like Christmas morning, I can't wait to set off. Hope to see you there.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044657444756235060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972915028116604677.post-23649861582575045832016-04-25T20:10:44.767-05:002016-04-25T20:10:44.767-05:00... yes, several Mike's.. there's "Go...... yes, several Mike's.. there's "Good Look'n Mike ".. and then there's the... others.. :)motormikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13924239883571371828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972915028116604677.post-83216334311708394962016-04-25T17:52:06.774-05:002016-04-25T17:52:06.774-05:00Jason, for the record....I'm publicly stating ...Jason, for the record....I'm publicly stating right here that wheelies are wrong.<br />Which Guzzi? Are you guys doing SCR? The Britten movie Saturday night in Madison? I'm heading down Thursday afternoon, camping just outside of Richland Center. GPS Routes are loaded in the little unit, one of our rides heads up towards Hustler and Camp Douglas. Sunday morning breakfast at Piccadilly Lilly at the Lone Rock Airport, just an FYI. If you make it to Leland, look for 2 (count 'em) TW200's.Coop a.k.a.

It is good to see a Hodaka outside of Oregon. You never know how far they've travelled to find a home.<br /><br />The Dairy Queen story made me smile. Funny how little places can bring back such a vivid memory. It is good it was still there for you to stop by and reminisce.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.com
