OK, OK ......you're all sounding a little hysterical... you Fording pack of Pontiacing Bedfords......I wish I was there......I WISH I WAS THERE!!!!!!!! I know the exhilaration at the end of a salt meet, trailers full of broken things, new records...a bag full of dirty clothes and a shipload of new photos...

Firstly congratulations to Mal and his team for obliterating the old M/VG 1350 record , what a beautiful bike, what a nice bloke.

Secondly Ferd and Bill. I will get there, I hope you approved of our friends and that their behavior was exemplary. :wink:

Third.....Bill you're a blinkin' marvel the things you've done for us, we will repay you over and over.

Over and out from wintry Melbourne.................
Few understand what I'm trying to do but they vastly outnumber those who understand why...................

Grumm, you're welcome for a visit to the RODGE MAHAL. From there you can go on some super drives to get back to your plane. I would even consider parting with another P-38 PORTER.  :cheers: I'll be home late this evening. Wayno

Elmo --

You should post those tank pictures you showed me so everyone could be as impressed as I was.

And the Street Roadster?  I think I saw a spin -- was that after the weight added?

Grumm, that's cool. Just an offer to try to flesh out your trip. Did you get to the NHRA Museum?
Stan, it spun again after the weight. Same place. Around the 4. Wayno
