Happy New Year 2023
12/31/22 at 06:50:39

Happy New years fellers !

I'm wishing everybody a SAFE and LONG Ridding season to some new and neat places this year !

I've replaced the S-40 with a 350 version for my "Thumper" last year , but I still have the Guzzi (two cylinder THUMPER) with the big fuel tank. Don't know where I'll go this year just yet ... but ... warm weather ain't here yet either .

One place might be "Big Bend National Park" , but I haven't found a place to stay near there ?

Thanks Versey !

...........................................

YouzGuyz , I suspect you'll be driving that Whale like a high sprited dirt bike by the end of the summer ?

..........................................

We (Marcia and me) took a nice Guzzi ride today up the mountain to her mom's for Blackeye peas and cornbread.

It was 68 deg. and SUNNY down in the valley on the way there ... we froze on the way back after dark ! Well , until I got into the saddle bags and pulled out the electric gloves Wink

.
What a nice NEW YEARS DAY 3 hour ride !

I don't know. The "problem" is I still love riding all 3 bikes.

When I am playing off the beaten path, I need to feel that I can get out of what I got into. The Whale doesn't back up very easily!!!

The Whale and the Savages are just sooo different. Weight, turning radius, power, etc. Switching back and forth compromises my ability to ride either extremely well.
I shall bear the burden.. Cool

I completely understand ! Wink

The RE Meteor - Sits , Feels , Handles just like a new version of the Savage ... The Guzzi is a totally different animal !

Lets see :
Springman has : the S-40 and the 1100 Honda
Dave has : the little BMW and the Big BMW
Lancer has/had : the REX and a Sportster
Versey ... Do you have more than one kind of CREATURE ? Huh

or are you the only "sensible" one I know of ??
I'm not sure about the other's here ???

Re: Happy New Year 2023 Reply #12 - 01/03/23 at 11:41:52 I do get tired of the need to sharpen up on my skills when I stop driving my Karmann Ghia and get in my 642 HP Vette,, it's just a constant hassle, but that is just how it is..

You really got a 642 HP Vette ?

no
I don't even have a Volkswagen..

My pickup has been down for seven years. The woman who knocked my bike out frummunda me killed my bike. I've got all the stuff to put a savage together except smooth forks. I've got some rusty ones.. And the seals in the forks that snapped off in the wreck are New,, but did they get screwed up getting stuck in the side of a car rolling 45mph?
