took a road trip
- Thread starter dNyce LS
- Start date
I am always on the look out for other LS's when on rode trips as well. On my drive from WI to IN through Chicago yesterday I passed a white Gen 1 with a LSE bumper, white sport bumper and black GEN 1 LSE side skirts and rear valance. It was odd looking. A few miles from that one I passed a gold Gen II. I saw a couple in Milwaukee but none in good shape, a silver Gen I with painted black rear sport wheels and silver front ones, again it looked odd. I need to be quicker with my camera.

Over all years of Lincoln LS production only 245,522 were made (wikipedia). I think that really thats not a lot for a 6 year production run. Those of us with 06s are in a tight club only 8797 produced. I actually see them down here in Florida with some regularity, but it is less and less every year.
+1 ^
Did you run thru the Deals Gap AKA the Dragon's Tail?
That would be high on my list of roads to run my LS on!
I see a lot of them too and I wonder how they can afford the repairs to keep it running.
I haven't taken the car down yet but we did take the bikes down last year and it is worth the trip!!!! Rode it and the Cherohala Skyway. I am about 5 hours from it. For anyone in the Ohio / Michigan / Indiana who would like to kill a weekend backroading their cars in the area I live or over into WV, I know of a lot of great roads with killer views(pics).

You're probably seeing it on its last leg. It died shortly thereafter.
I "chunk up the dueces". It's an LS thing that others won't understand.

i didn't know you rode
+1. Whenever I see one in rough shape in a parking lot, I make sure to park next to/near it.
Marc,, I also try and take the bikes down there once a year! This would be a great place for an LS meet if we had a local that knew all the out of the way roads cause they all rock!! The gap itself can get crowded..
Yeah. I bought that one in 08. It is an 04 model and I modded it to death(Yoyodyne Slipper Clutch, full Moriwaki exhaust, Tiforce restarts, gearing...for starters). Sold it back in March of this year. Mileage was getting up there(31,500).
Actively looking for an 09 cbr1000rr in Pearl White but the asking prices were too high this summer. 09 was the only year Honda made it in Pearl. Every other year is in Arctic White.

Talbotway, I smell a trip next Summer as long as I buy another bike in the Spring. Sound like a plan?
