Keith,

Sounds to me like once you get the return spring fixed you will be good to
go. As with any mechanical "being" there is a risk of breakdown. These bikes
are as good as any though once they are up and running.

Does this mean you will not be coming to the Adirondak Rally now?

Speaking of Rallies. Anyone on this list heading to the Ontario (Canadian
National :-)) Rally this weekend?

Regards...Ian

 Hey Ian,

Just needed to blow off some steam, you can see/read that in my note.
I'd love to get to ride this machine one of these days, been waiting for
her to be operational for a year now, losing patience with "Patience".
Sounds like it may be just a simple return spring installation
adjustment per Tom's message earlier. Hope so, I'd hate to have to pull
the engine and trans again for the 4th time. Hope once this is resolved
she will run fine for a long time. It's gonna take a bunch of miles for
me to build a reliability trust with her though, will have to just run
around town for a few hundred miles, this way if she breaks down, I'll
be close! Not much was untouched during this 1 year ordeal, I just
worry about the chrome liners someday, hopefully they are solid right
now and won't need work for a bunch of years. Electrical wiring is OK,
but I guess someday she should be refreshed. I've gotta alot of $$$$
and tears invested, so it would be hard to give up the fight now. Thanx
for the confidence boost, and oh, and if you want her, just add a zero
to the end of your offer ($5000)and she's all yours!

If you want I will take that that lousy piece of sh*t bike off your
hands
for $500 bucks! :-)

Look. Once everything is sorted out you will fall back in love. Trust
me.
These bikes are made to run. If you have to trade a tranny with Mark.
Sounds
like everything else on the bike is very good.

I know this doesn't help but I had to add my two pennies :-)
