Lou:

That #91 machine is awfully nice looking from where I'm sitting..

I took my bodywork to the painter this morning so I guess I'll be sitting on a small pillow with the battery between my knees at the dyno this week.

I almost didn't think we'd be able to make it, but the shop and warehouse are almost all moved and the TT is awfully close, so - fingers crossed and all that.. I figure I'll be picking up the bodywork on my way out of town and installing it in NH. Wish I had been able to finish the fairing mounts before letting the fairing out.

10 days and counting... No pressure...

Hey Steve,
We need to see your new TT. You must make it to Loudon. Don't give up. Even mounting the last parts while driving your bikes always still look first-rate.

Hey Lou,
How the heck did you get Dr Dave's bikes? Are you well connected or did you steal them?

I must be crazy but just entered 3 LRRS races on my F1. Plus the track day on Tuesday, too. It must be that bad cranky-influence. He's dangerous to hang around with...or I'm sick in the head.

I'm down to the wire with the TT1; The bodywork is at the painter, the dyno's booked for Wednesday and still much more to do..

Since I have two Bevels, and now an F1 (for almost 3 weeks now!) which I have not ridden yet.....and I live an hour from the track... I suppose its mandatory that I attend? Ok then...Sunday I will be there. I hope the bike is up to the 60 mile trip!

Hey, Pat:

As long as it doesn't explode on the dyno Wednesday, all should be good. The paint might be wet and I might be making fairing brackets at the track, but...

Hi Steve,
I'm confused about this beautiful bike you're picturing here. Is it the bike you had at Mosport a year ago? I must have missed something. I'm concerned about your oil cooler lines being legal here. From the LRRS rule book:

Quote:

19.9 All oil cooler lines must be a braided steel type and fastened with compression fittings, unless original equipment. It is not advisable to wire hydraulic lines or banjo bolts.

Hey, Bill:

No, that's my TT1 (thanks for the compliment).. There's no way I'll be racing - I'll be lucky just to get out during the track day.. The lines would be CCS legal; Gary was running the same on the Yellow Bike.

Ok, now here's a more critical heads up - they are getting more strict about no smoking in the garages!
Looking forward to seeing you again.
