Just back from the 24th Gathering of the Clans
7 or 8 Air Marshall flags where there... Rick from Motorrad Elektrik rode up from central Alabama and Stretch Hendrix from south Florida. R80G/S and "Sparkly" R60 mit 800cc and purple flame paint job (with cool Enduro bags painted to match)
Fixing SWMBO Ducati turn signal (plastic busted), so soon as that is over, I'll download photos...
Ducati Monster 750 turn signal fixed. You gotta love Krazy Glue.
Here are my shots from The Gathering of the Clans... of well, my bike and campsite. Didn't get much more, or have my phone with me.
Campsite by the swimming hole. I went in early Saturday morning and cleared out some brush. Kids were playing in it later in the day. Karma score.
"Das Beast" my R100RS stripper. It was raced at Daytona in 2000. Got it for $900 :woohoo:
Still some safety wire, silly Luftmeister 2 into 1 removed. 40mm carbs and exhaust. Possibly hot cam. Runs like hot stink, but will putt putt around just fine.
At night I can flip on 3 red LEDs under the tank... great for finding it on uh, interesting evenings.
My dad and I were camped just up (towards the pavilion) from "Das Beast". I believe I even saw it ride in sometime Friday.
This is an amazing event. Already on the calendar for next year.
And how about the weather this year? Not a single afternoon deluge!
Here are some pics from the Gathering of the Clans rally I managed to take. I was on the lovely red and white GSPD....Thanks again Rick Jones for hand delivering the Alpha ignition system!
The Clans represented:
Some great musical entertainment!
Rugged:
a helping hand....
