I'm totally excited about this bike. Guy and Butch took it to Bonneville last year, but it didn't hold together. Since then, Guy has totally gone through it, and it's ready to give it a try again this September. It has the potential to break some of the records that Burt Munro set, he was "The Worlds fastest Indian". He didn't alway run streamliners, he also ran in this class. It will be very interesting!
I was very surprised to see the "L Lobo" bike at the Poker run in Lakeside when I was up there with Slots a couple days ago. I hadn't seen it since it was sold a year ago. The new owner hasn't ridden it much, he's a long haul trucker. Sure brought back some good memories! This is one fast motorcycle! Sort of pretty too....

Good Bye, Slots! It's been a good visit. The bike modifications were a success. Guy and Victoria from SCP did a remarkable job of getting things here at short notice. They put aside other work and concentrated on getting all the parts in, and installed properly. The end result is a whole different Nomad! Thanks for coming and being part of the family Slots!
Ronda, Karen, Pat, Slots, Bob, and Preston. We're getting ready to "dig in" to our Cajun/Texas dinner! I promised Wiliedog that I wouldn't mention his generousity on the newsgroup,but this is a blog, so I can . He sent Crayfish stuffed chicken, Shrimp gumbo, Crawfish Boudin, Sugarbabe Mardi Gras Cake, and Banana Fosters Bread Pudding. Chuck Bert sent a huge Mesquite smoked brisket from Texas. We are truly blessed to have friends that provided and friends to share it with! And, it tasted as good as it sounds!
Slots' farewell breakfast! He's been here several days, and has been a lot of company. His Nomad is all finished, packed and sitting in the garage. He'll wait until the morning coastal fog lifts a little, the will head on down the Oregon Coast into Northern California to see the big trees....Avenue of the Giants! Thanks for the visit Paul!.

This "Rogue" already has one Worlds Land Speed record in the class it was run in last year (2005) This September, it will be set up a little different and will make another attempt in a different class.... Guy and Butch Cook, the rider, will have these two for sure, and possible something else to take to Bonneville in September.
