Looking forward to seeing you and your brother on Tuesday night Joe. Are you planning on staying all day Wednesday or just as long as it takes to get the fuel map done?

Terry Prince and his Vincent sidecar have made it from Australia to LA so far, for another go this year.  Here is the outfit after uncrating, undergoing partial assembly in preparation for loading into a trailer for transport to the salt.

Same here Bruin - Still have to install the new clutch, get one tire replaced for the trailer, oil change and filter for the van, pack up spare parts, as well as pop-ups and all those miscellaneous items for the week.  I can almost taste the salt - Hey Franey - glad you'r making it out too.
Looking forward to seeing all our friends and making new ones again.    :cheers:

Jimbo and Barb

Put the Blast on the dyno yesterday only to find out we have a leaky intake valve.  There is about 4 hours worth of work I was not planning on a week before racing starts!!!   :x

STD is 66.66% ready. One bike of three entries needs final assembly, paint, and fire in the hole. Two days till we leave, so we are ahead of our usual schedule.
