New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
Took my Butler map up to the Kid's place in Wisconsin to look at places to go, but his dawg ate it.
Blew my coffee in to the keyboard!Something similar happened to me when I was a teacher. I had the big annual inspection from The Man From Government and the evening before I had head all my stuff out in the alcove all ready for the following day. Overnight a pipe ruptured and the whole ground floor was awash in the morning. I gathered up the sodden mess and tried to dry it out a bit but failed. I took it in anyway; I explained it really was all there but we had a slight mishap at home. I don't know whether he wanted to laugh or cry. He managed to pry a couple of pages apart, saw it did have stuff on it, managed to translate some of my waterwashed notes and saw enough to ok me for another year. Fortunately most of my notes were on the computer and could me reprinted. but some were not.
Wow! Looks even better out on the road than it did on the bench. You'll get quite a "ride impression" from the Mutton Run ....Lannis
Getting' close Bill
It looks like I may be able to come after all. Simply irresistible!Moto
Yes, Lannis, and, especially on the return when the suspension will get more of a GVWR workout. BTW, Charlie, as the audience here is limited to muttoneers, you should post that pic and story as a new thread so you get a wider audience.Beautiful machine; looking forward to seeing it.Bill
Kool! Just finished prepping the Mighty Scura yesterday. New grips, throttle lock, and some old Napoleons I found in my "good junk" pile..
After four months of working in my "spare time", late nights and weekends, the bike I plan to ride down to Kentucky is nearly finished! Put the first 39 miles on it yesterday.

Well Bill, I may have been called a mutineer, a mountaineer, but a muttoneer Having just come back from a week away up in my beloved Golden Bay on the bike that on my first trip in for supplies when I arrived up there I picked up a bulk pack of mutton chops, which was my protein supply for the week. Slow pan fried seeing our hacienda is somewhat :"basic" and lacking some of the finer accoutrements that may be found in more palatial abodes. They were still
Bill, can you post the location and zip code? Daily Mutton Glutton Post. Several Liberty and New Liberty Kentucky's.
Chuck,I may also cancel the ride to KY and head for Willville instead. Doing some planning right now...... Nick
BLUF: Cease Fire!I surrender.The weather does not worry me. As I think Ken Hand said, �If everybody watched weather channel, no one would ride!�A sodden run, punctuated by delays of T-storms, would, however, take the fun out of it for Kathi, with whom I was looking forward to making the trip two-up.But, the real warstopper is not rain, but illness. I have been sick (and literally in bed) since last Sunday. Some sort of one-two punch from a 24-hour bug -- complete with [TMI follows] projectile vomiting that missed the porcelain target by yards -- with a sinus infection accomplice. I have been out once, to the doc, and that didn�t help. Just one of those wait-it-out things. I am still waiting. If anything, worse today than before. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am in this result. Have been planning this for months and looking forward to the reunion with Guzzisti and others as the centerpiece of this season�s riding. But, I suppose that even I must now and then exercise good judgment and do the right thing.I may go back in and whine to the docs again today, as their last counsel hasn�t changed anything.Anyway, regrets to all. Hope some go despite rain. You'll have a fine time.BillP.S. I cancelled first-night's motel in Ashland, but may leave in a small escape valve in case I am miraculously cured. Kathi and I might drive down on Saturday in the Mini, but even that is likely false hope.
I did a 250 mile Traveling Salesman road trip yesterday. I saw many Riders in the rain coming and going someplace. Didn't stop them.
Good for them. I envy them.You missed my point.Bill
