Cafe Racer Magazine had their annual Readers Ride-In Bike Show today.
Was at a park near their headquarters in Sewickley, PA, which is a few miles west of Pittsburgh.
Turnout probably was a little down because of the rain & heat.
We got wet on the way home. RedZone/GT550 ran fine but the T500 broke down near home. Got the T500 home with problem TBD.

Re: Cafe Racer Magazine Readers Ride-In Bike Show 2106
Very nice. I think the date may be slightly out though.
It grates that I understand though as I seem to speak the same language!

Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Re: Cafe Racer Magazine Readers Ride-In Bike Show 2016
Oops. 2106 vs. 2016 — I can’t blame this typo on auto spell correction.

Re: Cafe Racer Magazine Readers Ride-In Bike Show 2106
The Photobucket policy change trashed the pics. I moved the pics over to Flickr & am reposting them.
Cafe Racer Magazine had their annual Readers Ride-In Bike Show in August 2016.
Was at a park near their headquarters in Sewickley, PA, which is a few miles west of Pittsburgh.
Turnout probably was a little down because of the rain & heat.
We got wet on the way home. RedZone/GT550 ran fine but the T500 broke down near home. Got the T500 home with problem TBD.
(Update: I think the T500 died because the pod filters got soaked in a downpour. Compression was low so we did a top end rebuild with oversize pistons & all is good.)
