BARN FIND, ran across it the other day ... I don't have a clue but maybe YOU do? If so, shot us an email at:
FSSNOCthumpers@yahoo.com (likely have to type in this address ... sorry, and Thank You!)
And, of course, disregard the metal plate, it was added to support some sort of utility motor in a post-life, note the cut-away engine mount, etc.
Not sure about seat supports...
I'm writing this update mid-week following the FSSNOC event in Gate, Oklahoma. This post is in reference to that event...
Jack:
Made it home Saturday afternoon in good shape and without issues. I had a good ride of about 1200 miles on my R.E. Meteor 350cc.
I met some new friends and reacquainted with some Ft. Ransom friends.
A beautiful day for a ride in some very beautiful country. I ended up staying in Great Bend, KS on the way there and again on the way home.
After lunch at Gate, I made Great Bend about five that afternoon. I had hoped to make Salina, but given the lateness of the season and the eighty miles at 55-60 MPH, I knew it would be after dark before arriving in Salina.
After leaving Great Bend, I missed my turn in Ellsworth, KS and ended up doing 25 miles on I-70. I didn't want to be the slow guy in the fast lane but at 7:30AM on a Saturday morning, the I-70 traffic was very light. The traffic on I-135/US81 is always light so the path north was also pleasant.
Thanks again Jack for putting this lunch together. It was great!

(REPLY TO LLOYD) ... Hi Lloyd! Great to hear from you! I didn't get to visit with you about the Meteror, etc, as event time goes by really fast, and, of course, there was that plate full of food to eat as well.
I'm sure you recall the very excellent article you sent us prior to the Fort Ransom event in North Dakota, the "bad news" (grin), I had saved it for TN#145, but alas, TN#145 filled-up before I worked my way to your piece. The "good news", would you like to re-write that piece, adding some stuff about the Gate trip and some impressions and evaluations that you now know about the Meteor? We can ear-tag it for TN#146.
Current plans now are that TN#146 will have additional coverage of Fort Ransom and Gate so your article would mesh very well with those... okay, let me know, and I'm sure you've heard this before, but that Meteror is a charmer to the eye!
Best Wishes, Lloyd! - Thump when ya' can ... #000

Hello JR,
Liked the shot of the RE in todays Garage. Happened to see that Mr. Miller is from NC. I know it is a long shot but has that bike ever been near Hendersonville, NC?
Reason for asking, a few weeks ago I'm almost certain I saw one in my subdivision. If true, that is the only one I've ever seen. If it happens that Mr. Miller lives in my area I sure would like to get a closer look at that bike.
Still having to deal with pneumonia and/or possible after effects of Covid so no handlebar time for me yet. The rest of you, ride when you can and stay safe.

(REPLY) Interesting, Vic ... verry interessting! Let's see if Mr. Miller responds here on this site. Should he not, I'd be more than happy to send him your phone number or whatever info you want him to have so that he could respond to you. Corbin makes good stuff, in my opinion, and boy (!), it looks good! The stock seat is made up of two pieces, a front saddle and a back pillion (as the Brit's would say), Corbin uses a one-piece full length seat pan that uses the same attachments and lock, I've never seen this particular saddle/bike combo in the flesh, but I bet it works... #000
P.S. Get well sooon, Vic!! ... so sorry that you are having those issues, my friend!
