I hope there are some good roads to go with no speed limits. Watch out for airplanes, in Montana they can land on the roads (well, all but one)

No worries. Although I haven't heard of any planes landing on any of the roadways around here. And the speed limit was re-implemented a few years ago.
But I didn't get the bike for straight line go-fast, I got it for the twisties of which there are PLENTY of those in the mountains around here!

Re: Greetings from The Big Sky
Great buy. Just finished kiting out a '99 I bought for a song as a track bike. Can't wait to get it into the twisty's (on the track). If you need some bodywork, let me know. I might be willing to part some of it out. Can't see ever changing this one back to a road bike. And I do have a set of peg rearset brackets (uses stock pegs with a longer shift rod) that move the pegs up about an inch and back about an inch. More ground clearance for those twisty's.

I would definitely like to chat about the body panels. I have a spare, but it needs some love and the other side needs just as much. My previous owners laid it down a few times. It runs like top, just not the prettiest thing. Which is fine by me, because I am wrencher, anyway. PM me or email me and let's chat ...

Cheers.

Glad you're enjoying the bike. I'll be in your territory in July.

Nice! Give me a heads up before you roll out and I can show you some choice riding spots with plenty of twisties! Also, there is a group of us that all ride together and they are a great group.

Re July in Montana - sounds like fun. Unfortunately, I will be in my pickup on that trip.

Ever been to the Museum of Mountain Flying at the Airport in Missoula? It's quite interesting.

Welcome, fellow Big Sky Rider! Good to see others on here.

When you got a few minutes, cruise over to caferacers.net. It's a local/regional forum for those of us around here, but some across the state as well. They are usually putting together some terrific rides and their shop service is unparalleled.

Let me know if an when you head over to Bozeman and I will show you are around!

I would love to. I haven't ridden in that area for years.
