Thanks for the directions Frank. By the way, got the 550 started today, at least on the outside cylinders.

Got tags, insurance, and finally an inspection on the 550 today, so it is good for the Gap now. Put about 50 miles on it this evening, and it ran well.

Still need to change the Trans case oil on Pinky.

Oh, by the way, it's used to cheap GL5-rated gear lube. Coastal was my usual choice.

Exactly why it has to be changed.

Already figured that out from some of your other posts, that is what I bought. Valvoline instead of Coastal.

Sorry to hear that Eric. I'm heading out in about 30 minutes. I hope the weather isn't too bad, but there's rain in the forecast for nearly every day. Of course, the forecast WILL change.

I wondered what happened to you Eric, i was hoping you would be there to show off your refurbished buffalo.
Thats got to be a real pain now having to get knee surgery, I hope it all goes well for you.
We did have a good time with lots of riding etc and fun with little rain.

Yea, sometimes things happen you have no control over. Was going to bring the spring but you know how that went. Still send it too Jacksonville?

Buffalo took a back seat now to surgery. Was close but first things first.

Thanks for the well wishes.

Allan - Nice pictures, the scenery is beautiful! I'll have to research it and make it out there perhaps this summer, not on a bike though, by automobile!

Eric - Sending good vibes your way...hope all goes well. I'm sure you'll be up and about in no time.

Well wishes Eric and yes send the spring to Dave please. Frank rode his 69 T500II and he rode it well too. Allen made sure he whipped up the Triumphs throttle a bit to keep us happy and some of us not so,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Joisey the scenery is beautiful, but it blurs by at times with speeds and following imaginary lines around corners as you reach MPH numbers not to be mentioned here.
