The forklift could easily lift this assembly like a pallet. If you put casters under it, you could push it around the garage easily. The 2" hitch would give you an easy way to attach it to your wall assembly.

What about a cheap hitch hauler that you could strap the bike to and then lift and mount to the Unistrut?

We meet in Franklin every May. Come join us and you will find even more roads that the locals share with us. There is also a Fall Ride in mid September that moves to different locations just to keep it interesting. We usually end up with a couple of groups so everybody can find a ride.

This just got published today. Expect this past spring to show up in about a year. 🙂 I don't think Thinwater is a member so I figured I'd share it.

For any of you who still remember the Green Jersey, Curt won it this year. He showed up with his Tiger660 having just installed new cartridges and a shock. One fork leg had a leak at the bottom so the bike wasn't rideable. I loaned him my Scrambler400x for the weekend. When we stopped at lunch on day one, the kickstand folded back up and the bike fell against Curt. That was the only incident for the weekend.

I grabbed some pics from FB group....

I've gotten bad about taking pics. May be a few on the FB group page. We had about twenty this year. The weather forecast chased a few off I'm sure but it ended up being a nice four days.

I'm pretty sure Leon's picture is in the dictionary under HardMF.

There were five VFR's at the SpringRide a couple of weeks ago. All of them had bar conversions. I had Helibars and will say the bar conversion is the better option.

Shouldn't be worse than an RC51, right?

Most of the used Tiger660's you see are for sale because someone is moving to a bigger bike for touring. It's a comfortable sport bike but not a great touring bike.

The ergos on the Tiger660 or 800 are way more old man friendly than the Ape. Less cool for sure but more all day comfort. There are a lot of Tiger660 leftovers for closer to $7k floating around. If you were closer, I'd put you on mine for a test ride.

Selling my 2003 Honda RC-51 SP-2

Tigger660? Maybe the new 800 but I haven't ridden one? You couldn't get my 660 out of my cold dead hands! All day comfort and will eat up corners. Leftovers are going for not much more than you got for the RC. There are about six of us here on the east side who are riding them now. -
Just to document that the event goes on... We had 18 or so bikes this year with a bad weather forecast leading into the weekend. Ended up with three great days of riding. The Green Jersey was awarded Curt for dropping his mount at Tapoco Lodge when the kickstand folded without a sound. The only bike related incident for the weekend. Somebody had to have it, right? Would love to see some of you new guys show up.

Tyga Performance RC30 conversion kit for 4th Gen
Sweeper replied to The Phantom's topic in Third and Fourth Generation VFR's
I know of one that is getting started soon. I'm sure it will show up on here at some point. Can't wait to see it!
