Paul,

 Bill, For some reason I thought you raced Saturday morning along w/ Ed? Anyway – I guess I will keep the hat and loan if anyone has a big head like mine. I think we should all do it the same time for support – I know I will need it. They are doing the Friday night downtown thing again this year – I may give that a try if anyone else is up to it.

Bill,

 Bill,Check Ebay under Open face motorcycle helmet ( Item # 400313318702 – G-Force – the one I bought  ) – and lots others for sale starting at 19.00 plus shipping.

 Roy,I looked at that yesterday – I have a xl head ( almost xxl ) according for the charts ( 24 1/8 ) – anyway – I found DOT approved open face helmets on ebay ( new ) for as low as 19.00 plus 10.00 shipping in all colors. Take a look – I plan on ordering a Matte black unit w/ visor for like 23.00. I figured – cheap enough.I am sure they have on…[Read more]

Paul,

Hopefully me – I need to find a open park and ride lot and start practicing.

 My feelings as well Roy

 I have a nice pop up I can bring if I flat tow vs. drive this year – hopefully I will be driving – it all depends on who is coming w/ me ( my son or wife ). Roy – I know you are coming up from the south – anyone else? maybe we should set up a caravan

 Congrat’s Ed – Just got the email this morning and first thing I see is Ed’s ride – very cool.This year I will be auto crossing – who else is in?

 No hat any time in a rag top – wind through the hair

Rocky,

 Thanks Ed – I will read and pass it on or return – your choice

 Ed, So you can donate to a buddy who has not read said required reading – correct? Looking forward to it…see you at Carlisle

 Roy,Not sure I follow you totally, but my cable goes through a aprox. 4-6″ tube w/ a flared end on the carb side and is held in place on the back side of the fan housing w/ a small hose clamp to keep it in place – very simple, but works. Maybe your talking about farther back by the trannie? Been a while since I put that together ( maybe 6 years?…[Read more]

 Also – You pay more, but worth it – buy stainless!

 Ed, I don’t have the answer to your question, but I went the complete spindle/disc route and it uses Ghia pads and easy to find. I thing I do know is if you go disc fronts you will need to adjust your rear drums all the time otherwise all the braking will be done by the fronts and everything gets very hairy.On another note I am thinking of…[Read more]

 Sorry Donna – just re-read my post – talking about the car of course

 Yes – in – see above – not sure will be my right seater this time.My speedster will not be ready ( remodeling the house ).Donna – do as I do – go top less and just duck down lower and drive faster ( no top on my ride ) – hope to see you there
