    Off territorial rd near Frontenac MN one of my all time favourites , I don't go there alone when its raining 4WD cowboys played hell with it.
    Spent today helping mysterious Slacker with his evil plan to corner the market on 80's eml products ! We got thru it but it wasn't as easy as we'd thought.He headed for Baltimore and I've got a little mission of my own.

    As for Luke damn it wasn't meant to be a slight.

    What can I say "your always right in black and white "
    Actually being a Subaru driver I'm obviously a lesbian, but someone else told me all switched to RAV 4's

    Quit playing with my fweelings, Dave, you're sending mixed messages.

    "your always right in black and white " (sic) would intimate that we're going on a formal date, yet the second line hints at something altogether different.

    I suspect neither of us is good looking or sensitive enough for the poof ranks not to mention our use of color :wink::wink:
    I'm sure there's something from Blackadder that explains everything

    Of small dogs and large sidecars.
    Acquired this Tue in Cincinnati, it was a cheap as one of these can be gotten so it 's a place to try the edge of hp !:eek1
    Not time for a proper début, Drones stuff is always in great shape when he introduces them, I've been doing maintenance all day trying to get it at least OK for the MN BMW rally this weekend.
    It's been sitting mostly which seems to be the way of these things the first buyer spends the money and the next 2 or 3 get a better price. It's an 04 K1200GT with an EZS Summit or RG sidecar according to the tags its got about 13k miles.

    Getting all lube changed, puleed the top and got the seams restiched and windows removed. Found probably 80 pounds of lead on the bottom of the chair that's got to go !
    I fear the wrath of Tarka ! I wondered why it didn't seem to want to come up very easily, I've already been to a parking lot once !

    It also has allot of fuel capacity there is large alum tank under the seat in the bulkhead between the passenger compartment and trunk, it's at least 6 gal but probably more, the BMW fuel pump and fuel gauge reside in this tank, it fills from the main tank via and 1" line, the a hatch with BMW pump mounted bolts into the side of the tank and there's another hatch on the bottom.
    Headers have been ordered as will custom shock once I get a weight but the old BMW Showa and white sport spring don't do to bad, th ePO had way to much preload cranked in and the damping turned all the way up.
    Got allot to do and with the plastic it's all a PITA.DB
    It need a vent to let more air into the car and some lights. Claude your absolutely right it goes 75-80 as easily as the adv rig goes 60 the potential for speeding tickets goes way up ! Other than that it seems like a sidecar steers with throttle easily !:lol3 pulls right under acceleration and left under compression braking Let the good times roll !

    NICE DB. I am really looking forward to your first riding impression. You have stepped into a whole different realm of the sidecar world.

    I like your two ramps and a jack service set up, I'll have to try that for tire chnges and belt inspections, etc.

    The new rig? Well shoot Dave, you scored yourself a nice one!!

    Warp factor 9 Mr Sulu! :ricky
