Yeah what a trip... Two Performance Awards (ID and OR), a new Diablo Strada rear (thanks to the good folks at Cycle Gear in Springfield OR) and a VERY flaky regulator. The system voltage would fluctuate between 11.7 and 14.9 volts and today I could smell that something (the regulator) was cooking.

The sticky Diablo gave me 4k miles of service before the cords started to appear (as I left Crater Lake). The CG folk had and held the tire for me and assisted in removing and installing the rear wheel. So, if ever in need in west central Oregon... The Springfield Cycle Gear store is a good place to go. I caught rain to and from Springfield and today's ride started in a downpour. I caught rain for about 120 miles from Bend (hey Scott... not a drop of water got into the suit). It was just outside of Burns OR that I got my second award... I was too freakin' busy watching the voltage, the speed kinda crept up and on a VERY long straight (on Rt. 20) I got nailed by OSP... Did I mention I HATE Dodge Chargers?!?!? Oh, and guys... Oregon made up for the "inexpensive" ticket that Idaho gave me...

Anyway I'm finally home... And I guess I have to start shooting the electrical gremlins now...

Good news Bro but I'm already sold on the suit. I do believe it is now at the top of my list

i just got back last night with no events except for a few misses with the black road alligators. the trip up into canada was dry and clear. the riding down through wyoming was hot but i didn't see a leo the whole return trip i'm glad everyone made it home ok with the exception of a few scrapes and "awards" nice change from tbme! can't a guy dream??? i just wish i could have been there .i'm going to head down to montrose in the next two weeks to check on the hotel for the "fast annual" please post up if you think there is a chance of you making it

Good to hear eveyone had a good time. I am nursing cracked rib in my back and cracked collarbone from a 100+ getoff from a few weeks back at THill.

Vern & I made it home okay with only a few "minor" mishaps. Will post pics & details in the next day or two. Back to the old grind tomorrow at 6am

Great meeting you all and already looking foward to the 2008 meet!

I saw about 10 or so folks when I pulled up to the 4-7's Motel in Ely around 6pm on Saturday.

Just had to say a quick hello to the Boyz, but I couldn't really stay... I was under the BBGHW clock at that point.... in and out of the motel parking lot in about 60 seconds.....

I think I counted 20 or 21 friday night.

Glad you're back safely. It was great meeting you you crazy Pole. I'm going to guess that your bike now has 106,000 miles on it right now.

Only 104355 miles,,,,thanks for the help Involute,,,,,,,,,,next time I think I`ll go for a little "detour" and that V-thing and try some wheelies

"V-thing"?

It'll take some clutch to get that bastard to wheelie.
