Hi Herm,
We’ve decided on Saturday Oct 14 (so far weather looks decent) with Oct 21 for rain date if it looks like downpours on the 14th.
Meeting at Stafford House of Pizza in Stafford Springs, CT. Sorry - I know you said you couldn’t make it on the 14th.

The second one lays them in sideways to reduce the squish. I’ll post pics of both so you can see what I’m talking about. But most of us had CDI failure near 20k or so. We learned a lot of the quirks, and all the good stuff together over these last 20 years.

I paid $3200 for it with 17K and change on it for miles. It came with a full set if Givi luggage side cases and rack are in the truck bed. I just scored a new GIVI set of crash bars. Body looks good aside from some scratches and a crack on one place. It matches my truck!

Just ask J. Braun and anyone who has followed him with their own Transalp. They can go anywhere and do anything.
