Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Is it actually possible to remove the valve covers with the engine in the frame? (Let's just say that it doesn't jump apart.)

Never mind -- I got it. Pray I can get the new gasket in unmangled. (I'm getting too familiar with the top front of the motor, too.)
I fabricated a streamlined reed valve system from 2" aluminum flatbar. That'll simplify things considerably.

And it went together a lot easier than it came apart.
Fork seals next. And then, Allah willing, I'm down the road.
