For my 70th birthday I took up motorcycle road racing. After riding bikes on the street for 50+ years I thought I knew how to ride a bike but quickly found out I didn’t know anything. But I’m learning and having a lot of fun!

Not on as often as I like but I was able to answer all of Tom’s questions in a message. Still haven’t sold the car.

Yes, I run alcohol. The car has a very mild tune up - 10% overdrive on a non-stripped 671 that only makes about 10 lbs of boost and jetted to run fat. I could increase the overdrive or put on a better blower that I have but as Dave said it would impact the reliability and increase the...

We were 1 day into the 3 day trip. It was still on when we went to sleep and cancelled when we woke up. Glad we found out before we went all the way to the salt.

for the second year in a row the Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials has been cancelled due to weather events that caused flooding on the salt flats. We are beyond frustrated ... and this may have been my last chance to be part of this effort. I hope not .... and hope we get a chance to run...

Member Offroadrolls has requested it be sent to him and has sent me his address so I'll be sending it on to him in the next few days.

The DVD arrived today. Will the next person in line send me their details and I'll send it along once I've had a chance to watch it.

Better late than never! :D [cl I'll be watching my mailbox. Thanks.

I sent my mailing address in a message to LB50 on Aug 8. Haven't heard anything from him in reply and still hoping to receive the dvd for viewing.

Happy Hallowe’en to me. Or maybe it’s an early Christmas present. I’ve wanted a metal cutting vertical bandsaw for some time and finally found one I could afford. I think it’s a great addition to the shop.

Love the look of the Scout body. Here's a couple pics of my friends Scout ... built on a slightly different theme :D but its been lots of fun over the years. Based on what I've seen of your builds I'm sure you'll knock this one out of the park too!

Very sad that I wasn't able to travel down there this year ... it was in the plans but some things came up that drained the bank account and made it inadvisable (that was my wife's word - means "you ain't going!) for me to go. Still hoping for next year. I'm glad that you and Dave seemed to...

Looks like you had an excellent trip. That V8VW looks pretty cool! Someday I'll have to get back to work and get mine finished - been idle for to long.

I would like to see it if it is available.

Hope you have a safe and "uneventful" cruise. That's some beautiful country you'll be driving through. Pity you chose to go west .. I would have loved to see that thing pulling into my driveway as the steaks hit the bbq!

Getting ready for Bonneville 2022. Getting fitted for the Harley 45 that I will be riding and hope to set a couple of records with.

It was an uphill battle but I finally got the paperwork sorted out and was issued a title document for the bug. This will make it possible to register the car once it is complete. More importantly, perhaps it will inspire me to get back to work on the project. It has been sitting idle for far...

Maybe. The specs I read give it a top speed of 155 mph. I seriously doubt that I'll ever find out first hand. I did get the funky pajamas to go with it if I ever want to get silly though.

Not yet. Been to busy moving snow. LOL! But soon. :)

Well, I was left unsupervised again and this followed me home! Should be a fun toy to play with.
