Thank you to all of my CBR Forum Brothers & Sisters.
I love living here in the States!
My Grandfather came here from the Ukraine in the early 1900's with minimal education and built a business of metal salvage during one the worst economic times in the USA to become a wealthy man!
Yet, the first words in English he learned were, "Steingold, you're fired!".

One day, I would love to tour other countries with my brother via sport motorcycles.

Sprock and CB2CBR I am up for a Upper Mi. ride as long as it doesn't conflict with an other ride that I have planned to go on.

"When does the train leave the station? "

Hmmm, not my trip , Jim came up with the idea so imo it's his lead. I should have all
my Gigs done and finished by April so anytime after that is good for me , kinda liked
the timing last spring/summer though - home for July 4th and all that, gave me a chance
to burn up some unused vacation time and that clock resets every July 1st

Hopefully Jimbo will spin up a thread in RoadTrips - Indy is talking smack about joining
us - but then he has a lot of work to do with reassembly of his bike & ya never know
Trout might get a week long + pass too lol ..... jk Dylan

But hey TBT - I'll have full Givi Bags this time out - room for plenty of Newfie Screech
But we could visit the Grand Traverse Distillery in Traverse City too ! lol

Now I'm already looking forward to it

These Scrapes


And this broken "ear"


And missing the "belly" Fairing...I know where to get it new.

She is mechanically sound.

She will be ready to go by the time the snow has melted.

Hey Dave - that coopers 6 I got- the Sparking type ---- pretty good grog too I 'll
have you know ------ going back for more tomorrow if they have it maybe some of the
regular ale too



Been a great week-end so far - just got a Scorpion EXO 500 "OIL" in red/white
30 bucks off ........arrived today ........like it a lot ....replaces an old AFX lid I had
and dropped off the loft in my barn
That's the one Sprock! 5.8% is a proper beer IMO. The 'real ale' is a home brew kit produced by Coopers. They make the best home brew kits I've found.

People who try my Coopers HB all pull the same faces. They look and sniff with a slightly concerned head on. Then they taste, pause and say "That's not a bad drop, Dave!"
