[RBW] Indianapolis S24O - Weekend of April 25th

Curious to see if anyone would be interested in joing in an S24O departing from Indianapolis over the weekend of April 25th. Plans are loose right now. I will take weather into consideration when selecting a departure date/time. As far as location, I have it narrowed down to Morgan-Monroe Sta

Orange and pink is a fantastic combo, Ness! Great shot. You just need a little black dog in the basket in the field of poppies. Grin. With abandon, Patrick On Saturday, April 12, 2014 7:43:49 PM UTC-6, grrlyrida wrote: > > >

With all those things freezing up, it's a good job the camera still worked. Looks plenty cold to me. My friends in the Twin Cities are posting photos where the white stuff is receding & they are able to ride on pavement. Looks like you're in the last throws of winter. Hey, if the bike tips

[RBW] Riding in a Winter Wonderland!

Our storm to dump 12+ inches of snow on us fizzled into a wimpy thing, so I went riding, at which point it decided to show its teeth (of course it's stopped now!). Rode up the usual back roads to Woodland Park and headed up Rampart Road to the top of Lovell Gulch trail, and took the single track

Just to add my .02: Chris is the man. This ride was just the ticket to get out of dodge, have some fun on the bikes, and, as Chris noted, clear some headspace. We noted it was also a perfect ride to enjoy just how great and versatile Rivs are. The Fire Lane descent was good times. The ground

I recently spent $900 on couplers and powder coating my '84 Terk 620. I had been offered $400 for the frame so that puts that package at $1300, without any components. I would add at least $200 for a Romulus frame and half the retail value of the components. BTW I can't tell any difference in

As far as I know the least expensive custom steel with couplers is available from Doug Curtiss at Curtlo Cycles = $1400 for filleted frame, no fork. I have one. Some may be attracted to the lugs, some might not care since this will likely not be too much about aesthetics. One third of the batt
