Just south of Milwaukee.

Well, and a little bit west.

A day trip.

Well, actually a really long day trip.

Ahh, forget it - we'll see you on the salt . . . .

But the invite is always open.

Here's one to keep you entertained. It's from the Saturday on the way to the salt, out the front of Dirty Dave's place in the Barossa Valley effecting the repairs to the F truck....there's plenty of room under the hood on those things, enough room for three decent sized blokes and a Clevo.... I think we were lifting the head on at this point.......you'll notice that Dave, uncharacteristically for a plumber, has his shirt tucked into his pants......



It was an interesting day that, after the mad thrash of the previous few weeks it was just what I needed to flog the last few drops of energy out of me before
we headed off into the desert for a week.

Yes, I have been absent. But I have been busy. Planning has started for the US trip in August, LA 2nd August, Vegas, Wendover, Salina, SLC, Boise, Portland, Seattle, San Fran, LA, home on the 5th Sept.

Woohoo.

So not much happening here at the moment

We just looking at what we have to find for 2015
In 2013 we went over 200mph, which gained Goggles his Red Hat
what this also meant was that we had to change our front tyres. Prior to that we had been running frontrunners.
Greg Watters had loaned us a pair of Goodyear LSR tyres for 2014 but he has plans for them and we have to give them back
Also, we had been running some FIM seatbelts which no longer qualify.
we have also been using a borrowed HANS device.
And of course there is the engine and gearbox that both need attention.
that's the short list

Hey but at least we now have our own trailer.

G, that sounds a lot like my racing programme from way back. :-D

I still don't own a trailer.

You guys did great with what you had. :cheers:
