    And I found JBweld putty with my tools, cut & needed a little for Mark Anthony's XS650 fuel tank repair. Picture shows him holding back a stream of gasoline with his finger. He asked "How long does this stuff take to set up?" answer "Longer than you want it to." He held it tight a long time until it set and held. His report after riding Dragon - Fixed, working...no fuel leak

    Nice if your saddle bag is like a majic hat...Just reach in and pull out what ever you need
    It is a great big beautiful world out there

      Just one more reason why you're the #1 wing man..I recall when my muffler fell off at the VT XSEast rally and you had everything i needed to get it back together...without you and your "stuff" alot of us would be up a creek without a paddle.

                    What's up with you and Jeff sliding you a$$es off the bikes in the curves?
                    reasons:
                    1. Shifting weight to inside of curve reduces amount of lean angle needed to round a curve at a given speed.

                    2. I found butt stays cooler & more comfortable if in the wind from time to time.

                    3. More free photos. Yes they will take more if it looks like you are about to fall off.

                    4. Technique recomended by a track day riding instructor I heard at a BMW rally in FL

                    5. I suspect Jeff learned this habbit at a young and fearless age; Likely while rapidly Canyon Carving with his fast buddies in the Sierras.

                    or ??fun??

                      • It was great to meet Gary and you (dad lol) thanks fon trying bto keep me mellowed out while I was fightin putting JW's rear wheel back on. I was kinda frustrated for several reasons other than that, that just was that last straw.

                        Gary did an exellent job leading our group and made even the ride in the rain enjoyable. Both of y'all were a positive part of the whole experince.

                        Thank you both.

                            We counted heavily on Gary and Bruce making this whole thing work. Better late than never, giving credit where credit is due.
