    Sounds like central IL would be Tom's place???????? He knows where to get good breakfast!!!!!!! We know he has tools.
    I've done my 2nd gear but don't ask me how long it took. Not something I could accomplish in a day but I know others can.

    I'm still contemplating a "Lost in South East Minnesota" rally this year. Roads and scenery very much like the Wisconin PDC ride we did. I'm leaning towards an August ride though?????? I know some places across the river with Wisconsin cheese.

      That's a 4-6 hour job. 4 hours if you have help and good tools, 6 hours if you're doing it by yourself with basic tools.

      I've done it several times without a lift, and on the side stand, but it is a bit easier with the lift. It does not require a lot of space either. An empty driveway is all that's really needed.

          Cool!! You're just under 4 hours away from me. That'll be an easy one. Count me in. How early in the Spring are you thinking? The MOTM rally in TX is in April, so would you prefer March or May? I ride year-round as long as the roads aren't icy, but I know some others aren't so comfy in the cold.

                Count me in! I'll be there one way or another. Right now I'm having issues with the ignition switch. The 79 is on its 3rd switch, this one I got new back in june ish when I went to KCK for a rally. it is locked up inside so I can't turn the key at all. Going to have to take it apart and see if I can get it to work. The banner is in my closet waiting to be proudly displayed again.

                    It worked great for several months. I left the key in the iggy one day at work while we had a bad storm. Didn't think this would make it lock up but it did. will have to tear it apart.

                            I just ran into a snag. I have 4 different things I am suppose to be at the weekend of the 15th. I'm going to have to figure out which is priority. I have the banner and will get it to you Tom as soon as I can Just in case I cannot make it. I hope all is going well. I got to get out into the shed and start to work on the bike. Iggy switch is still an issue. I also want to get Barbs bike ready which should be pretty easy. New tires and oil change also need a headlight bucket cuz I stole hers.

                              I've penciled this onto my calender, depending on work and how the bike is running.
                              I've been in more than one Hemisphere, and I wrote a book to help you do it too (or just prepare better for that week long road trip). Going Small, not just for the little guys.

                                I think I may end up just coming up on Saturday morning. That way, I save on motel costs. I'm only 4 hours away, so I could be there by 9 or so if I leave early enough. I can't imagine anyone wanting to get greasy before 9am, right?
