Thanks, that was exactly what I needed to know. I haven't met anyone yet,(a newb to LSR), but have talked to John Noonan & Todd Dross, & Keith Turk on the phone for some help so far. I'm trying to do my best to show up fully prepared to pass tech , & rock & roll. I don't want to be the clueless new guy running around all weekend, like a chicken with it's head cut off, imposing on the experienced guys, trying to get my bike prepared. I talked to Keith about perfs on my leathers & Keith had asked me how he would remember me at the meet, I told him I would be, "The tall, skinny, a**hole", hopefully that will make me stand out? I think he will remember. Looking forward to meeting everyone in Sept. in Maxton. Bob Leesberg
