OK, I'm going, the bike's in the container with Steve & the other 3 from the UK & is currently somewhere off Holland. The flight's booked & paid for, entry fee is paid & I bought a new tent for sleeping at the "Bend in the Road". There'll be a big Union Jack flying, so drop by & say hi, or find us in the pits. The bike's a blown 1942 Indian Scout flathead powered "Special".
I had one problem. We fired it up the day it was to go for shipping & it had developed a misfire with no time to fix it, it's coil ignition (electronic trigger) & I'd cleaned the carb prior to starting it as it had been stored for a couple of years. Although I have enough parts in my spares box to replace all the electrics, I don't really want to so I decided to bite the bullet & order a Hunt magneto from VT Cycles in New York & bring it over as hand luggage. However, there's a hiccup regarding tracking it so I'm sweating that it turns up by August 6th!
In the event it doesn't arrive, does anyone have one I could borrow?
