Turbo, don't worry about a sleeping/showering spot. Both beds in my room are spoken for unless one of us should be a no show. Not sure if they can supply pull outs. The folding cot idea is good. Sleeping bags always work in a pinch. All you need to worry about is getting there.

Gets cheaper the more you pack in

but I'm claiming a bed

Trey, when are you planning on showing up? I'm planning on hitching a ride with Bill from Atlanta but not sure of a time table for us yet.

NalleyRacing · « **Reply #79 on:** November 04, 2014, 12:17:05 PM »

I'm gonna come up on the 12th or 13th to meet at Bills for a little help trying to finish my bike. We'll probably follow yall from there

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #80 on:** November 04, 2014, 12:37:02 PM »

Cool, I'll be in ATL tomorrow hanging with my sister. Hoping to be able to hang with Bill the first of the week.

Sounds good, can't wait for some racing!!

LArzFroMArz · « **Reply #82 on:** November 06, 2014, 06:18:42 PM »

Starting to look like a bike again and some stuff is even gone on for the last time....

Larry, nice. Nice braided oil lines! K.

Nice shocks for the squat that a no-bar street bike needs for a safe pass on 1320'.

Turns out we aren't the only ones interested in SGMP...

I heard they will continue to operate in an effort to pay off the debt.

madmtnmotors · « **Reply #87 on:** November 09, 2014, 08:23:41 AM »

Yep, business continues, only now they will pay taxes!

Even though it is still a long shot for me, after 20 days the bike itself is very close at this point.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #89 on:** November 09, 2014, 11:53:08 AM »

Looks ready to me! See you this week.

Yeh, looking real good!

Man you have really made a ton of progress on this project. Nice work. So what's lacking to keep you from finishing it?? Remember, Friday afternoon is a paid test session so if its running and hasn't been down the track before, that's the time to get the bugs worked out before race time.

LArzFroMArz · « **Reply #94 on:** November 10, 2014, 05:23:27 AM »

I got to spend most of my day looking for this little #$%*.....was going to be a show stopper. Yes it was in cam chain valley.
Good new is the bike is on the ground rolls nicely has good front end now (spend too much time chasing the right rotor).
Should be close to firing...leak testing today, fixing the seat and if it warms paint the tank....
Definitely have been hitting the wall trying to balance home life and bike life....
Just a few more days....

NalleyRacing · « **Reply #95 on:** November 10, 2014, 08:49:27 AM »

You guys are awesome. Nothing to get the blood going like a last minute build! Both bikes look great, see yall in just a few days hopefully!

dragracer · « **Reply #96 on:** November 10, 2014, 10:36:39 AM »

Fellas, don't forget the basic safety items for tech: chain guard and tether kill of some kind. In street, you must have a headlight and a taillight. They can both be aftermarket - no flashlights. While they probably won't check if those lights work, at least be sure you can turn the taillight on for night racing.

LArzFroMArz · « **Reply #97 on:** November 10, 2014, 11:55:19 AM »

Roger that!, on those basic items!

LArzFroMArz · « **Reply #98 on:** November 10, 2014, 04:55:43 PM »

Some progress...maybe enough cause I actually like the bike (except where the upholstery shop stepped on my seat pan) now. Tomorrow is the day to find if she lives and leaks or just lives...or doesn't

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #99 on:** November 10, 2014, 05:39:53 PM »

Damn Larry, kickin ass bro!
