Re: 2013 Totals - South Central Group

Those are some impressive totals Roger :o ..... Thanks for keeping and adding them up for us. ROMEO's love to ride and eat, that's for sure. Now, multiply these numbers by our state wide group and we are talking something very impressive to anyone. :shock: . We appreciate you and the other ride co-o...

Hey Bucky, I e-mailed Phil, told him you asked about the Norton, and here is his reply to me.... Hi Bill, I couldn't figure out how to reply to Bucky, so hear goes. It's a 1951 motor, a 1963 frame, 1969 brakes gearbox and primary. I've got almost 27,000 miles on it. Bucky saw it years ago at the Nu...

Re: South Central Lunch Ride: Wednesday, September 25, 11:00

Well, Charlie asked for someone to take a couple of pictures for him, so here goes. Looked like we had a good turnout for some Bar-B-Q, but I didn't get a head count, hopefully Brian will chime in and give some stats for us. Some of us left from south Wichita for an easy ride via old 81, 177, OK 11...

Re: British Bike Meet June 1

Well, I have to agree with Klem on that one.... A no fee, no ribbon "ride in" is much better than having a bunch of haul-ins there for a trophy. I would much rather look at bikes that are ridden than some shinny trophy someone has too much money in and doesn't ride. But that's my opinion ...

Re: British Bike Meet June 1

Don, We had a great time today....Great ride (except for a little wind...both ways too), great tire kicking with some really good people. Like Roger said, Lee Sevart ('03 Bonneville), Al Campbell ('12 Tiger 800), Steve Diddion ( '12 wing), and myself ('02 Bonneville), rode up from Wichita (290 mile...

Re: Colorado Trip Summary - Ride to the BMW RA National Rall

Hey, thanks for sharing with us Jerry, looks like a great time. Several from our local BMW club (Shaft-Twisters) were there, although I wasn't one of them (darn !). If you're ever up this way on a Wednesday, stop in with the Southcentral bunch, we'd love to catch up again.

Re: Saturday 5-19-12 Marquette Kansas Thunder on the Smoky

That was a fun time and a good ride (except for the WIND)..... I ran across and was able to talk with several friends that I don't see nearly often enough. The bike show had fewer participants it seemed, but Jerry was still doing a great job getting it all together. They had rearranged the museum a...

Ha-Ha-Ha !!!! I'll be.... An old Yamaha "Big Bear" Scrambler.... I bought a brand-spanking new one of those back in 1966, a beautiful red and white one. If I remember right, somewhere between 3,000 and 4,000 RPM's that thing would instantly come alive :o with hard acceleration, and you'd ...
