Hahaha! Old man Showalter!! I used to ride with him all the time, unveatable in Cellole. Now I remember you 1bad7, we were planning on a trip that never happened to Sicily to do the big track (pergusa?). Small world, nice.
I wish I could do a ride, but my bike is a track mule only, no vin. I was thinking about getting a frame with a good vin and put all my stuff on that one, but not sure if I can pull it off.
I'm stationed in Norfolk Air station, paint and final finish and advanced corrosion control instructor, nice little gig!
Snikwad, my bike is going to be ready to roll by Feb 2010 at the latest, last thing to do is send my suspension to get it worked after I fit everything from the fork swap and presto! Track bound to wherever. Right now bodywork is off, sanding and puttting fiberglass patches, etc.
