good luck doug and when u see that bear ask him if it sticks to his fur.

not only did I let the air out, I refilled em with helium. Save me alot on the shipping weight

Dang son....late to the party & it has taken me most of the last two nights to catch up. Worth it too

Great thread on the build of the Dirtster...really looking forward to the RR.

Finally! Caught all the way up. What an awesome bike. Thanks for the blow by blow on the build up.
Was smiling at the Norton. Had problems with a '69 Fastback. Let's see. Twice the main jets fell in the bottom of the float bowl. Once the transmission spit some 2 gear teeth though the bottom of the case. Once the backbone tube broke all the way around and the down tubes were cracked but save me. Found this out when getting on the front brakes hard and notice the gooseneck separating from the gas tank.

But, still loved the bike. LOL.
Have a great trip. Lookin forward to following your adventures.

Thanks for the Spot link, Doug. I wish you drank beer since you are in the beer motherland. I could almost taste the beer where you are. Oh well, I can still ADV ride vicariously with you. Right beside you bro! Carry on!

Doug, I'm sure you have met Harold at one of the smoke out, he's getting the BMW ready for the stampede.

I been following the thread for a while now and was wondering if Doug`s garage is still standing after all the storms that have hit ?

All ok ?

Thanks

I can only imagine what the original builders/designers would think about their disposable gas tanks being carefully restored.

I got a reply from Doug after he made it to Europe - so far his stuff is still intact at the home front.
