Syclone in Grand Rapids

SyTy Stalker
The award for only SyTy I've seen since I left Alaska goes to... Invisibill. I saw his Sy cruising around Grand Rapids on a Friday about 2 months ago. Snapped a couple of pics on my phone, but they didn't turn out good. Would've posted this sooner, but I just got internet again yesterday.

Supposedly there is a White Ty in the area too. My buddy is the Miller rep for downtown, and says he sees one parked outside of Margarita Grill on Sat nights in the summer.

Thanks for the tip. Never heard of the Margarita Grill, but I looked it up in the phone book, and it appears to be downtown. I'll try and check it out when I'm down there on Monday. There's a guy listed on Sportmachines with a white Ty and black SoGT in Holland, which isn't too far from here. Haven't seen either of his trucks though.

Yup... good drinkin spots in GR. Like the Grill, The Bob and The Black Rose at the top of the hill is a pretty sweet Irish bar even by Boston standards. If you're ever out and see a short Miller rep with black hair named Ryan, tell him he owes you a beer or else... and then say Nate says "whats up"

ps. then order a bud to piss him off

So you're part of the reason there aren't any SyTys here. You took one, Bill moved to Battle Creek, and mine's stuck in Alaska. Nobody knows what a SyTy is around here. I'm still not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

I'm only 20 miles east of you.

I remember walking back from dinner in this little crap town and seeing Bills Sy and giving him a big thumbs up. I was ass deep in $ into my GN and had an Impy SS but that's what got the wheels moving in my head for a SY/TY. 4 years later the GN and Impy are gone and the TY is the new baby in the family.

Timbo, I had my TY in GR last weekend, my brother in law lives a couple of blocks from Shamut Hills motorcycle off Lake Mi drive. If you need a TY fix let me know and maybe we can meetup the next time I'm in town.

Very cool to know of another one around here. It's still unknown when my Ty will make it to Michigan, so I'm happy to see any that I can around here.

I've already bastardised this thread...........you probably saw TY2122/Pete. Very clean, low mile, stock truck with a different set of tires and wheels every week or so!

The thread had more or less run its course. Twins, let me know next time you're in GR, so you can give me that Ty fix. ;)

Was that on the Beltline that you saw me? My friend was with me, and said he saw a guy in the next lane taking pics with his phone...
