I hear you. Thanks to Wa States extreme taxation of "sins" a good
bottle of scotch sets you back half a C-note. Dagnabbit. Best value I
found was hitting up the Cosco in california. So maybe I'll make a 1200
mile liquor run this summer :)
As an inexpensive alternative,try Tulamore Dew. It's an Irish Whisky.
Not too bad. Great to fill a flaskful for that end of the day campfire
sipping and neighbor aquainting session.
Project notes:
Looks like I may have scrounged a set of cylinders that have been lined.
We'll see. I'm taking the crank conrods pistons etc to the sop for
measurement and evaluation. I want to make sure I'm not putting poo
parts back into the bike. It'd be nice to go 850 on the ambo. But I'm
not married to it. I'd be just as happy to stuff a 750 top back on it.
The hammerite paint on the frame will take at least a week to cure with
the current temps, so I'm in the phone call and wait stage.

Zerhack and others,
I went to my local liquor store yesterday to get some scotch. Zerhack
recommended Glenmorangie Sherrywood, but its price was $56.90, as was
Glenmorangie Portwood, which sounded interesting. I thought this was a
bit pricey, so I got a bottle of Bowmore, my personal favourite for $37,
which incidentally is the price for Balvenie sherrywood. I've tried
regular Glenmorangie, which I liked, and I imagine that the Sherrywood
and Portwood types are very good as well. I know you also recommended
Lagavulin, but another scotch that will put hair on your chest is
Talisker.
At any rate, this Bowmore is
rrreallly,
rrreallly,
...gooood...(HIC)..
How 'bout them loopframes!!!
