    Good call, do it right & only do it once. Cheaper in the long run.

    So MOTD is officially cancelled. I'll still be up there for the days I've reserved my cabin. Will be a quiet MOTD this year, upside though, the Dragon won't be too crowded :D

    You might want to check with the cabin owners. The state closed down all hotel, lodging and camping.

    The red S is now in mourning because the Dragon is closed?

    Had a nice 60 degree day up here in “Lock Down Ohio”, so I threw a set of white Holies w/new RE-71R’s on, torqued the lugs, set their air pressures and adjusted the Koni Yellows......made some valley runs this evening. Zach at Firestone did an absolutely fabulous job balancing my tires, as usual! Gosh this R50 is so much fun to drive quickly! (But always at the posted speed limits)

    Dave.0 excellent, we must have pictures. Have the shop take a few or take them with your phone. :) :) Lets us know the HP after it is broken in properly.

    2 things today, due to the lockdown in Colorado, I only drove my 16 CM to the drugstore on Thursday, my sweet wife drove her MINI to the grocery store for pickup after ordering online, our order was 1/3 less due to shortages, basic stuff, sad!

    Walgreens was an ok experience, no kleenex tissues or TP, sad! I did get my necessary daily medicines. Soon I will have to sacrifice some old Dragon t-shirts, no not really. ;) :) ;)

    Second item, today NADA, the Colorado ruling says we cannot drive up into the mountains for stress relief, my opinion, that is Draconian. Was hoping for a bit of the Peak to Peak Highway this weekend. We will see if they relax after April 11 or is it April 17 mixed information.

    Take care, be well, a couple of my family nieces have tested positive with COVID19, a prayer would be appreciated.

    Your family will be in my payers.

    I am with you it is draconian not to let people drive up into the mountains. If you are in your car or on a bike you are not exposing anyone. I am starting to believe some politicians are abusing their power. It would appear we have let them have to much power.

    Thanks Dave, yep, I am aware of current status. Deals Gap has gas, store is open and restaurant open for take out. No hotels/motels/campsites open! I believe I can make this plan work! (Safely and social distancing too)

    I daresay your resonated Milltek is for a MINI and not a super-modified whatever you might call it once the new engine is put together...only a MINI in body. That poor resonated Milltek is about to get its resonator blown off. :Devilish::Cigar:

    Was just reading the Articles section on some past MINI April Fools announcements. How did I miss this one? I would have been all for it.
    "An upgraded dual air-horn warning system comes standard on the model"
