I'm hoping to do the Great Lakes Challenge in July - 2500 miles in under 100 hours: https://members.triton.net/vandenbe/GRTLKS100.htm Maybe I'll see you there!

IBAJIM organizes IBA rides all around the Great Lakes and would be a good resource for information. He has several rides on the calendar for 2016.

I'll be interested to find out how the Race Tech suspension mods work for you. I'm still using Progressive springs but might try Race Tech if you like them.

Thanks! I'm sorry I missed you. It dried out just after London and we had good weather the rest of the way. I'll look for you on the next one.

Yep, my first Iron Butt ride and the '83 Wing ran flawlessly. :good: I'm looking forward to more! Nice job, Jim!

I'm hoping to join the Lake Huron SS1k ride this year on my gl1100 (sans sidecar).

That's exactly what I'm looking for. Does that attach to the passenger pegs?

Welcome from the east side of the state (near Saginaw). I'm looking forward to some spring temps, too!

Yep, it was a 175cc 2 stroke. An offshoot of the BSA Bantam.

My first bike was a BSA Bushman around '69. This was in Nairobi, Kenya. I don't think any made it to the US. In my eyes it was exactly what a motorcycle was supposed to look like. I spent most weekends learning how to keep it running through the next week! It was a great time and I learned a...

Yes, I know the positioning is important. I'll be sure to know the procedure before taking it on. Thanks.

Thanks for all the welcomes! What are your thoughts about the timing belts? They don't have a lot of miles on them (21,000) but I'd guess they're originals. Should I replace them due to their age?

Hi all! I recently acquired an '83 Goldwing with a Vetter Terraplane sidecar. Only 21,000 miles on the rig, so it's been sitting a lot. Just going through it now to be sure it's road worthy and looking forward to getting out on it whenever winter comes to an end. :| She runs great! Some new...
