I sent him a PM about a couple things ;) I usually don't expect a response until early the next AM with him.

He sure has been busy picking up 'parts' today then! Yeah, that's the ticket - parts.  ;D ;)

I think that SOB got rid of the 750F parts bike that I sent him a list for! Oh well, I'll just keep looking.

Jerey u still need more 750F parts?  I try to be careful about pick up parts now as I don't want to turn my backyard/shop into a warehouse, but how about this one? http://slo.craigslist.org/mcy/3643928714.html if anyone interested in anything, may be I could try to haggle on the price and pick them up

I didn't have suspicions, I had inside info  ;D  About time you posted.

Lets see now, you stable includes:

Calendar Girl
SamAuto
Purple Haze
Yet to be named/built 1180 StrokHerBill
Red Rage or is it Orange Terror?
What am I leaving out? I know there's gotta be more! They are going to have to start special race classes just for you.

What else do you need!?
