So, I guess I'm a literalist. Thanks for fixing that, Simon.

@CraigL- I've registered for the Ozarks event and booked the hotel. I'm wondering if it makes sense to start a separate thread about the event for other Morgan enthusiasts on this board? Bill

The Eagle (Mog) has landed. Had some help installing the FoBo tire pressure sensors on the valve stems- I used them on the bikes and liked them. One of the folks there has an early (2013) V Twin reboot, so knew his way around the vehicle despite all the changes. I wasn't sure if the gauges were reading in Km or mph but figured that out on the highway south-- got lost a couple times b/c I haven't installed the Beeline yet but it was fun. The handbrake release is a little kludgey, but got the pedals and wheel situated nicely. This thing is a blast to drive. Here's me, pulling out of the Petrol Lounge in North Austin: IMG_2764 by William Hart, on Flickr

This thing is a blast to drive. That is great to hear! When you're not having fun driving the Super 3, it would be nice to hear more driving impressions and how others are reacting to your new toy! Wishing you many happy miles behind the wheel.

Very direct inputs, you feel the road more closely, quite a bit of acceleration and torque, had no problem at highway speeds coming down from North Austin. I was also surprised at how easy it was to maneuver at low speed-- the pedal box is a little tight- I'm wearing "driving" shoes but I need to be careful. It was hellaciously hot here yesterday, probably felt like 103F so 1/2 day of driving left me pretty wiped out, but all smiles. I'm playing with tire pressures, the recommended pressures are apparently too high. I did install FOBO pressure sensors on all three tires and the app converts to a 2+1 vehicle. Not a substitute for a good gauge and inflation system but provides some additional assurance. Since it is a matt paint (and no longer available, I'm told) I'm going to have Petrol Lounge detail it and then have them arrange to put a protective film on it. I've thought about the exo-skeleton to mount a spare and some luggage for touring. I am having Morgan West order some accessories for me as well.
