    That could be because Dan invented a mechanical device that can actually bend space and time. At least it seems like it can . . .

    Tony, this looks awesome. I don't know how you do it . . .

    Is there any recon on a ride icon for SS4? I browsed through the Gallery and could not find one. Thanks

    Great photos - thanks for posting.

    Took Lolo Pass back yesterday. Repaving has begun for the balance of summer. It needs it - the pavement further up toward the summit on the Idaho side is deteriorating (visible in the photo). The Montana side is still very nice. I thought they might not be working on a Sunday - they were. Delays ran about 30 mins. total. I'd wager it will take at least this summer and next to finish it.

    Exactly - the topic is about the event, not technical questions. All members would be better served to keep the two separate.

    More socializing before the closing dinner. Didit packs some tough questions for the prizes - I wish I'd studied. The last thing on my mind prior to leaving home was that I would need to be able to spell "Fahrenheit " . . .

    Stopped at Devils Tower on the way home.

    Top photo Progress on the stator transplant continues as Mini Carver works diligently. No one would leave for the closing dinner until this work was complete. 2nd photo Tammy sews another patch on to her riding jacket. 3rd Everyone watched with interest while cornering techniques were discussed. Bottom, A riding buddy of mine (5th gen owner) died in his sleep last year at the way too young age of 49. He had emigrated from Ireland and motorcycles were his life as well as livelihood. The sticker I received at his funeral went on my windscreen so he could ride along. He would have loved it.

    Tammy works on cornering skills in the parking lot while Mr Carver instructs and 4 other volunteers lean the bike so she can get the feel of it. The Carvers play tug of war with CagelessinSeattles stator wire. Those things are a real PITA on a 6th gen, but were no match for a determined bunch of VFRD attendees. Lots of hands pitching in on that one. Finally the Rocket near sunset. It was neat as a pin and the owners were super hosts. I needed a battery for my cell phone - the closest availble was in Rapid City an hour away. They offered to pick it up for me as they were headed there later in the day. You won't find that at a chain hotel. They were super nice people, and good cooks too!!

    And Tony, Thanks to you, without which none of this would have happened. You never dissappoint - fantastic job as always. Safe travels home.

    These go by so quickly. What a trip over the Rockies with Derek, Tammy, Rob, Craig, Darren, Jeff and Al. So great riding and hanging out with you all. I'd do it again next week. You're the best. Saw old friends and made new ones. My special thanks to Corner Carver for letting me sample some real hp and to the Carver clan for diving in on our dead stators. VFRD at its best. Obligatory Rushmore shot . . .

    Very tidy, indeed. Looks much better with the white wheels than gray as stock.

    Very sorry to hear that - both your situation and that you won't be attending. It's a wise man that knows himself - best to pay attention to your state of being rather than push yourself too hard. We'll make sure to have plenty of photos for you so that you can join vicariously!

    Looks good - like it was made for it!

    For those interested in taking in the Minuteman Missile facility, I might recommend checking out their website prior to deciding to go that route. It's spread out over a bit of distance - the visitor's center, Launch Control Center (LC) and an open silo. The Launch Control center is an underground tour that requires advance reservations. I did some searching on their website and it appeared that the LC tours are sold out for 7/11 and 7/12 (someone please double check me on that). The silo doesn't appear to need a reservation - you look down in to the silo - no underground tour there. The visitor center (VC) is a few more miles down the road at exit 131 - about 15 miles from the LC to VC. The VC looks like it might be interesting. There's also parking garage construction at both the LC and Silo so parking is limited - the latter sounds to be the most so - in the driveway only. YMMV https://www.nps.gov/mimi/planyourvisit/maps.htm https://www.nps.gov/mimi/planyourvisit/vc-exhibits.htm

    Tony, I see a dozen of us have downloaded these. They installed fine on my Garmin. Thanks for providing 'em.

    That's still being re-run on Saturday mornings after "Trackdown". Classics never die. I think the same will be true of our VFR's.

    I always have pre trip anxiety - did I remember everything, what might happen . . . etc etc. It all melts away once the wheels are rolling. Time to enjoy!

    Accuweather's long range forecast for the week is for sunny and mid '80s (high 20's for those of us that use deg C), but wow it's been cool and rainy in the Dakotas for several weeks - with liberal doses of strong thundestorms tossed in. Fingers crossed that the WX forecasters have it right! https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/custer-sd/57730/july-weather/335526?monyr=7/1/2018
