I certainly am ...money and parts. I have to tell you all...I think trip to the UK will have to be arranged. I have been there on business, London and Galway and loved it.

At least the following people will be part of MC history:

Mr's Green, Hastings, Benton, Dison, Debow, French, Oldfield, & Griffin will own the front end on the Atchison Topeka and The Santa Fe. Mr green will probably own the back half as well and Mick will make sure I get this wowed down after that 100 foot up, burn out.

I hope I have not left anyone out and I have emailed all of you.

One of my Sorcerer fab sponsors came by yesterday and was torn between the 2 bikes...I let him know, thanks to the people on this site that we will have duel roll out of both bikes.

Just for starters..I have a pretty cool 11 x 17 poster of the professional garage shot, shown above. They are heavy stock, high quality prints. I will send one to each of you should you choose to email your mailing address to me. I can have them autographed by RC Sr if you would like and with any wording you'd like added.

Anyone down on there luck or ill here is welcome to a poster as long as I can print them.

A very grateful, Russ Collins Jr.

I would like a poster... some Sam guy seems to have me collecting nostalgia for my shop.

I'll email you later and let me cover the mail cost so the donation goes all on the bikes.
THANKS!

I have seen a few souces for replica Barnes Hubs, most are not the dual disc type, but could be run that way with adaptors. I did find A&A hubs at I thnk aaracing.com..that looks like a dual disc with 4 bolt flanges, that may be the one used.
Have not seen anything on the rotors, but they got to be out there..

Hey Sam how many times are you going to become an associate member / member?

You've got me down for an XL size "T" shirt, I've never brought anything in an XL size in my life, are you trying to say I'm a fat b*st*rd? Since when was a 40" chest XL? I want a "T" shirt not a night shirt

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #342 on:** February 21, 2012, 11:25:41 AM »

Some American sizes come in a tad smaller than ours but you can have a large if you wish.
I was thinking along the lines of, which is better, a tight one or a slightly loose one. $:-\$
I'm 41" and large can be a bit tight at times, I guess some shirts can vairy.
It's up to you.

Sam.

I measure a 39" (unless I try and do an Arnie impression). How about whoever is in charge of the shirts can give us some size guide before they are ordered? $:-\$

I'm whittling on worse than a woman here, but I don't want a flag, just a T shirt that fits

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #344 on:** February 21, 2012, 12:13:33 PM »

Ok, if you're 39 you will be OK with a large I guess.
