No problem Neil!   :)

Others riding the Bandit is one thing, but others riding the Bandit at over 100mph is quite another!!   [laugh]

Motorcycles are inherently more stable the faster they are moving due to gyroscopic force (I'm sure you know this).

It is the stopping that could be tricky, I guess, but we could strap a bed sheet to it for a parachute.

However, I don't want to ride your make the beast with two backsing bandit anyway.  :P  (I'm afraid I'd like it.  Then I couldn't make fun of you....... as much.)  ;D

Us......tangents................never  [evil]

That's a bit early for me, but I do plan on going, though I need to be back in time for work (around 5:00), so I may have to leave early.

Maybe Rameses can entertain you all by catching air over the railroad tracks again.   [laugh]  And do we have a wheelie limit this year?

Well, last time the wheelie limit for me was my shifter shitting itself.

Hopefully there'll plenty of Hyper wheelies on the ride back this time too.   [thumbsup]

I may be able to make it depending on what happens with the negotiations.

Predictably tentative.  [cheeky]

I'll imagine how impressive they are.

And rest assured that I'm jealous of anyone who intentionally pops a wheelie.  :P

I'm a creature of the moment. An ephemeral whim that can't be pinned down. Don't try to change me  [laugh]

Yes.

Well, you've got 4 more chances this year -

May 16-17
June 27-28
Sept 19-20
Oct 24-25

I suspect you'll be able to get to one of these.                                     Optimistic, I am.
