I knew he could handle it. Think that hat turns him in to superman!

I'll need the hat ..... up early on Apr 26, ride to Curtis (Toledo) to supervise Team993 at Ernie's ..... then to Columbus (Greg's) to chisten the 'new' 1200 ..... then switch hats to supervise the prep of the Race Bike with Winston and Greg and Jake and ?? .... then on May 1st it's off to the Race track to supervise the Pit Crew and watch Jake break (our own) Class Record in the Flying Mile.

Then take two asprin and ride back to Toronto in time to go to work the next morning (May 7) at o'dark oclock.

If your LTD's current rad. cap isn't what it should be, I have a NIB, NOS, genuine 1976 Honda LTD chrome radiator cap that I'd be willing to donate to the cause.

Ours has some rust/pitting. Yours would be greatly appreciated. Dog Boy said you are the king at finding parts. I was wondering if you or anyone else knows where to find a couple new cushions for the tach/speedo. Ours are pretty crusty. I remember there was a discussion on that some time ago and GL1000 were out of production, but another model was available. I can pm you with my address or just send to Dog Boy. (He's getting the radiator, just doesn't know it :roll: )

One of our NGW Members has just posted his LTD for sale for $4100.

We could just buy that one and save a lot of trouble .......
