A national match 1911 with Bowmar sites? Someone tried to rob you by only offering you $300. Be glad you didn't take it. Here's my 25th anniversary Kimber 1911.

Yeah, George and I shared one of the wildest rides I ever had on my old '83VR coming back from Ft Collins in Colorado. We split off from the rest of group at Rock Springs WY and headed north. Me to visit the kids in Shoshone ID, and George going back home to Seattle. On they way we got hit with black storm clouds with 65mph winds out of the west. The road was two lane with semi's headed south. They'd pass us and we'd end up on their side of the highway when they'd block the wind, and then get blown back after they past. I think the big advantage was the frame mounted fairing of the 1stGen. A lot easier keeping control of the scoot. We stopped in Karrammer WY for fuel and George's eyes were as big as saucers. His remark... That had to be the worst conditions I've ever rode in!! I think I had an advantage due to being a lot heavier and harder to shove around... George being pn the lighter side..not so much...It's one ride I'll never forget... 🙂

Check out a fellow on you tube Adam Sandavol, he did a trip on the TAT. Had some interesting things go on during his trip. One of the Veterans he took with him crashed, broke his ankle and had to ride it out like 20 miles or more. One tough Marine.

THANKS JACK - BEEN A WHILE!! I actually had the honor of meeting @GeorgeS years ago at the Venture West The Delles, Dalles, Dellas Rally (how do you spell that @Condor ) .. I hope he chimes in as I would love to hear from him!! If George was in Ham he will have the scoop on mounting on a scoot!! P.S. George - the speedometer worked AWESOME!! Puc

Yes Puc I did post a pic of my 1911 a while back, and it is a single stack not double. Gmarshall that is a sweet looking Kimber. I had a Kimber SR 40C but I could not hit anything with it so I put it on trade for my Kimber 280 AI.

One of our older members @GeorgeS from Seattle was into HAM and had it mounted on his '93VR. I don't know if he's still around but you might check?? I do remember he had a couple of batteries mount in the saddles for power... If no longer active you might try the HAM listings for Seattle...

Snow's easy with a 3rd wheel to hold you up....
