Mike -- no worries -- I've filled my drink card. No more for me. Back from the truckstop -- pancakes are good, and Nancy had a taco plate -- should've had just plain tacos. Too much too eat for a light lunch!
Kax, I've got a photo in here of a V-rod. He had run an 88 the first run and then a 113. He's in the R W B class -- don't know how many runs he's got left in his permission slip.
Bub was in the pits before we left for lunch -- Sam's bike wasn't back yet. About his front tire -- it's carefully sheilded in the fender/front end assembly and not at all visible. I'll assume that the wheel was, as reported here by others, the aluminum one.
