I had left the time open as I thought we had all afternoon. Since the spaghetti is only 1 to 3, I would say meet at 12:00, KSU 12:30 This would just be on the highway, no way to add twisties without adding hours and for me I dont have that much time :(

That sounds good to me. Honestly, I wasn't planning on eating spaghetti. I was just wanting to get a ride in and show my support (drop a donation).

I am still in, I was getting ready to post about not much interest. The MSF class will be going on over most of the lot but we can meet by the front door.

See ya there.

Ha ha, I thought that nickname ended in grade school.

You know what they say- all stereotypes/nicknames start with a grain of truth...

Made it home OK, problem turned out to be just a connector that had come loose but I would never have found it on the side of the road. Had to pull the left fairing and it was buried deep behind 2 harnesses.

Great to meet some new people and see some old faces, sorry to be the downer on the ride

Glad to hear you got it figured out.

That traffic-sweat box was the only downer in my book.

Sorry for bailing. I was NOT ready for that kind of hell today. Was already feeling the heat while we were moving on the highway. Just wasn't in the mood to make that mission north

LOL Thanks Doooooooode(s)

But, I'm running take offs and have a spare 190 to throw on there this week

Glad it was something simple, Paul, and the ride home was better!

Greg Golden, who this benefit was for, was just the nicest guy and we were glad to have given him some support. I guess the bike he was on was a SV600, which you can't even fathom it from the crash picture. The truck was found, but still no driver. If you've been drinking and/or don't have insurance, it's beyond inhuman to leave someone nearly fataly injured as he was. As, Greg said, he was lucky to have been on a busy street so that passers-by could be immediately helpful. He's now got two titanium rods in his legs and is on the mend.

Longrider, glad to hear you got your bike fixed & wasn't anything major. It was nice to meet some of the members!

Maybe now that Joe knows you, he'll give you preferential treatment when you're out taking pics at MRA races. :lol:
