The Wife and I made the trip to Gillette and back with only a few small problems. Mostly brake problems with my LT. I have to say her Honda PC800 did great. Well we survived the wind and rain at the rally and had a dry trip home except the last night on the road we stopped early due to weather and the fact my rear tire was bald from pulling the camper. Once we got home I put her bike in the garge and left the K11LT in the drive way since it is where I usually leave it. Well a storm came thru last weekend and flipped the bike and destroyes the main faring. I guess better it happened home then on the road but it is not that much better. So the season for the LT is over. The bike is stripped naked in my driveway awating a new paint job. Need to pick a color soon sine the painter is getting the parts today. Also I did learn that the K100RT faring it exactly the same as the LT faring. Since I have ton of old K100 parts I only need to pay for painting. (I didnt like the original color anyway)
P.S. Anyone interested in a leasure lite camper. We will be going back to tent camping from now on.

I just got the parts back for my K11LT. They look great. Love the new color and he did a great job painting them. Only problem now is the rest of the bike looks like crap. Putting these parts on my bike is like putting a fur coat on a crack whore.

A couple came down from Canada to pick it up this past Tues. They saw it at the Nationals and asked about. We called them when we decided to sell it and they wanted it.
