Kent: We pick up the bike late tomorrow (Friday) afternoon from Brian. He and I have chatted, made arrangements, and Nancy and I will stay tomorrow night in Des Moines. The bike should be at the Salt Sunday afternoon.
The bike, according to Brian, is about 79" long. The bed of my pickup is 78" long, so I've made arrangements to borrow a front end loader to cram the bike in -- I figure a 15-degree bend in the frame will shorten things enough to make it fit. Bring a tow chain to straighten it back out when you pick it up, okay?
John: Your firesuit will arrive at the Salt Sunday afternoon, too. Are you gonna be there? Are you gonna need it during WF -- 'cause Nancy and I have been offered the opportunity to ride that 'Vette (never did get to at WoS -- rainout), so we'll use the suit THEN return it. We're planning on shipping it back to you from Wendover -- but if either you'll be there -- or we can send it with someone else -- that'll be cool, too. Don't worry about the suit -- if I wear it I promise to be freshly showered. If Nancy does -- well, I don't think you'd object to a tad of her sweat (per your earlier comments).
Oh - I just re-read your note to Kent. I'll give him the suit when we're done. Thanks again.
