I appreciate the Navy support of the USCG! :yahoo:
And I'm not even 6 feet tall!
(For those that may not be familiar, it is recommended that if you enlist in the USCG, you should be at least 6' tall! That way, if your boat sinks, you can walk in the shallow water back to shore! :smilie_happy: )

Doubt I'll be able to make the meet this year.
The trip costs me about $500 of which I'll need to put this 1200 engine in, new fork seals, and pull the fairing for whatever repairs might be needed.
Need a new rear tire also.
Can only do the one trip this year, the Western meet.

It'll be worth $500 to see if John has the nerve to take his new 1800 up the hill, especially if he's pulling a trailer...lol

OK - now you've gone and done it...... I'll go straight up the hill....and stop. Piper.
I hope to get the new bike this week (HOWEVER, I just shoveled 4" of fresh snow this morning, so not today!)
When I took it for my test ride, I was surprised that the 1800 did not feel heavier than my 1100. I know it weights about 275 lbs. more; I just didn't feel it.
I DID feel, however, TONS more power..... :shock:

No reason we can't all contribute with the necessities. Any other camp would cost also.

I've decided I won't make it this year.
Too much to do at home and we're still playing catch up on finances. Its been a strange year.

I'm in as long as I got a Wing running and time off from work.
Let me know what you all decide, I need to go to Michigan around that time, (june), whether I ride my bike or not,,. I would like to visit even if it's short, I have a topper on my truck so if we crack a cold one, I have a place,, and would donate to the cause.
hmmm ok yes well ... this thread need to be revived thank the time is very flexable at the moment ... so wingnuts weigh in :ahem:

At the moment, I am out. :rant:
I've been scheduled for a procedure for my left kidney. That is going to interfere with getting work done on the bike again!! :whip:

It depends on the date for me... I am still planning on going, but vacation time is going to be scarce this year.
Well that sounds more important than working on the bike. I'll be praying for you!
