Matt is calling me today to set it all up.

The "Team" is Polkadot, RAT and myself. Loose plan is to put her back as she should be and bring it to VMD to sell.

anyone around Central Ohio are welcome to the rebuild event. NGW will recive a hunk of the profit from the sale for putting the bike at the tent at MidOhio.
I am beginning to wonder about this partnership. First Greg tries to get me to contribute more to become an equal partner, now he is giving my money away! :IDTS: Sheeesshhhh! Should be fun! :lol:

Think this is the start of the build thread for "team 898". Just transfer it. You have the power right?

Agreed Ern. I'd think she deserves her journey to be chronicled. I was privileged to get to share some time with her and can't wait to see her the way mother Honda put her out.

Bill, you're ruining my beer run across three states.
I will be delivering her to the Jones/Ern team around March 1
