Dang it fellas, didn't i tell you we should all chip in and buy Bill a camera about 22 pages back-lol. One with video capabilities would have been best. Now we have to wait. Again!!!!

Well, i'll just wait to see the bike in person in about 10 days.

I'm still shaking! ;D I think it'll run quicker and faster than last time. ;)
I think the rear brake will more than do the job.
F/brake lever feel awesome,old NOS b/pads felt glazed.
Would like better pads!
No fluid leaks....anywhere,way to go Mike.
Jim took tank and petcock to machine adapter.
Oil pressure fine,50-60 @ idle,70-80 when revved.
Needs oil changed and plugs checked/replaced.
Bike feels light,need to weigh it.
C'mon Jim,it's time! ;D,Bill

Bring this BIKE or any HONDAMATIC to THUNDER IN THE VALLEY race at BRISTOL, TENN.  Promotor just said on DRAGBIKE.COM Hondamatic's can run in STREET ET.  Real test for your weather stations = up to 3800'......... better bring jets or a DIAL-A-JET system, got some dial-a-jet kits for a few bikes and they were invented by a college graduated of " THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY "  my home town. He also invented LEAK PROOF FORK SEALS  sold both inventions for big bucks $$$$$$$$$$.

Hi Rich, I think Jon may have a dial a jet system or something similar, We'll have to wait see.
Perhaps Billy will bring it up to Bristol in the summer, we just need to get it all sorted first.
