They have acknowledged my order for the header pipes and advise that it will be "a few days" before they can ship. I doubt that the shipment will make it from UK to US Customs and to me by Saturday. If they arrive by EOB on Friday. I'll call you. I have plenty of float bowl gaskets. I'll try to remember to bring a pair.

Scheduling limitations will unfortunately preclude us from making the Tent Float this year, but we will be able to be in S. PA circa 6/5 thru 6/7 or so, and as luck would have it, the White Rose MC Club is hosting the AMA Hill-Climb even that Sunday 6/6 in Glenville PA (near the town of Jefferson). (To make SURE there are no problems with the promulgation of this email, I'm NOT attaching the White Rose Event Calendar .pdf listing the Hillclimb, but its readily available at www.whiterosemc.org). Shucks ... the last time I saw a hill climb at White rose was circa late 60's early 70's ... I was a kid on the back of my Dad's '66 R-something-or-other....:) So in any case, my gal and I are flying from San Diego to BWI on 6/4 and planning to make a day of it that Sunday 6/6... meet up with whomever, go for a nice ride Sunday morning ending back in Glenville (route suggestions welcome!), and roll into White Rose around mid-day and spend the afternoon fat and happy watching the hill-climbs, eating fatty foods, and performing some hops-therapy:) Anyone want to join us? We are open to whatever routes for the morning ride and exited to see the races, but mostly exited to re-connect with the PA and MD Airheads:) Of course, if any folks would like to look at riding locally the day before or after as well, we are all ears; pls feel free to give me a shout via this email or via cell 760-583-8385.
