    Looking mighty nice Ian! Glad to see you do nice work like this. Way back when you were a newbie, it was a wonder you stuck it out at all, with all your goofs.
    You have come so far grasshopper! You do the site proud! Be very proud of what you have accomplished and I seriously love that paint job.

      nice job Ian

      Will have to meet up sometime this summer. How about the Rallye at Battle Alley in Holly on the 3rd of May ? Like to see the bike close up .

        Ras- Thanks! It means a lot, as you and many other current members were there for me in the beginning. I still make dumb mistakes, but I at-least have the money to fix them this time around



        Well Vance, it's news to me, as I work down the road in Davisburg off Dixie & E. Holly. All the imperfections you see in-person can be our little secret until the rallies. And, at that point, I can blame the Summer of riding on them! I'll certainly write this down and research it.

          Well that sucks ... the ME880 100/90-19 bias ply front tire replaced the ME88 but it's still available:-

          When my ME88 wears out I'm getting a Kenda. It's the only 17" 6-ply I've found that's actually 6-ply nylon, not 6-ply rated. Some people can't read or just don't know how to work with nylon tires so they cry about Kendas:-

              I will be in the U.P. in August. Not sure if that's the same as the Lost Rally, as I believe that one was being hosted by Hayward?

                      Nice job, Ian! I dig it.

                      Maybe we'll get a chance to meet up at the rally then!

                        I'm set on attending the U.P. Rally. I'm still trying very hard to stay on-board with the SouthEsst Rally. My twin lives in Charlotte. Maybe I can save some money and sleep there?

                          Charlotte is way way too far. You need to stay at the IH. If you have a tent and sleeping bag, it's cheap.
