Mid-South ride, eat, and meet

Over The Top

This car was ‘over the top’, front to back, top to bottom, side to side. This car had factory air. The compressor is a v-twin type. It sits between the top of the radiator and air cleaner. The rides around in an American muscle car with ac. The car is too cool for school.:bow
 
Unique American Muscle

I looked up the name of the Orange color. Saw several different cool names, but I’m calling it ‘Daytona Orange’This car had automatic transmission on the column, so U can burn rubber on the way to the car show and hold hands with Ur ‘Sweetie’. Black leather vinyl top, Bumble Bee Stripe, blacked out hood with big ram air scoop, chrome hood pins. Ok, I liked the car. :thumb:thumb
 
Growing up in Arkansas in the golden era of the gas powered automobile from the 50’s to the early 70’s was great. Big powerful engines and cheap gas. My first car was a ‘66 Chevrolet Caprice Classic with a 327 cubic inch V8. 4 barrel carb, dual exhaust, bucket seats, automatic in a console on the floor. Probably about 275 hp. Nice car. I moved on to a ‘69 Mustang Mach I. 351 CI 4-barrel carb, manual transmission, probably around 300 hp. Finally let that car go and started to concentrate on my school work in college. Time to grow up.
 
Barry,
Thanks, been ill for awhile but on the mends now. Started riding again, building up strength and stamina.
FYI, a few local LDRiders meet every other month for dinner in the Memphis area. Let me know if you're interested?
Take Care,
Robert
 
Yep, most of the riders, I’m around are senior citizens with various ailments, maladies, and physical problems. I include myself in this group. I’ve been riding close to home as of late. Yea, give me the info on the LDriders. I need to branch out to do a little more riding.
 
Memphis RTE group

Barry,
You are certainly welcome. Our next gathering is December 7th, at the Commissary BBQ 2290 S. Germantown Rd. Start time 1800.
I hate to say it, but look for an unruly group, that'll be us! We're certainly old, BUT we have 2 riders selected for the 2023 IBR. And maybe anther IBR selectee, that rides in from Atlanta to join us. And we have a newer member that rides in from Little Rock on a small cc bike, and has just completed his first SS1000 on it. He's got the LD Bug.

Ride Safe, Think Fast!

The breakfast meetup was the 2nd reason for the trip to east Shelby County. My tech Leo had did a tuneup on my wheels for a ‘75 R90/6. Check the wheel bearings, then a proper reassembly. Checked the trueness of the rim, then mounted new tires and tubes, then balanced the complete assemblies. Looks like 1/4 once weights on each wheel.
 
Back at the house, The weather was decent. Set up a couple of work benches outside. Cool to cold so I built a small fire in my burn barrel, then proceeded to clean and polish the rims. This bike is far from a show bike. Kinda presentable to the crowd I run with.
