If it involves big letters then you're stuffed aren't you?
Did you answer my answer to your version of War & Peace?

And words of more than two sillabulls.
That was a PM. Have filed the Vegas info away for future reference. Looking at changing my holiday dates to take in the Bakersfield meet 2nd weekend in October. Steve's going too. What does your next BSH instalment cover?

If I can't get to Paso, I'm seriously considering Bakersfield.
That was the original plan when the World Championships were going to be held at Morgan Hill at the end of October - go out early for the Bakersfield Rod Run. Then, of course, the venue was changed to Las Vegas. As I won't be going to the World Championships this year, it'll probably be a toss up between the Cruisin' Nationals and Bakersfield. I'll get to one or the other for definite, and maybe both.

Did you paddle in the Pacific? Will pass this month's BSH on to Steve when I see him at the weekend so he can compare notes. Determined to get out there this year somehow. £2.53 in my Vegas fund so far.  |

Pm me the dates when you know them please. We have to book our Post Office holidays a year in advance so I had to guess at the dates. It's possible to swap them nearer the time but not guaranteed. I may be going sick in early October.

For which? Bakersfield or the Nationals? Need to shift my hols then. I've got the last week of September & the first of October so would be travelling back by then.

Bakersfield. October. Famoso Raceway.
Paso Robles is the last weekend of May. If I go I might stay over and go to the 29 Palms Streetfest the following weekend.

Bakersfield's actually earlier than I thought. I thought it was usually the second weekend of October.

Yeah, that's what Steve said.
Sitting here reading the new W & W catalogue, (the one with the printed hacksaw blade bookmark). 90% Harley stuff but some great old photos used to illustrate the pages. Fancied a pop-up fuel cap for my Sportster tank on the trike but not at 137 Euros!

Good innit - though they've never quite surpassed the year of the 3D catalogue.

With 3D glasses? Lent that one to a mate & never got it back. Can't afford anything in it but it's nice to browse for ideas on a Winter's afternoon.

Why is Harley gear so damn expensive? There's so much of it about, made by so many companies, you'd think it'd be dirt cheap. Need a second & possibly third mortgage to build a bike from the big book of W & W.
Conversely, why are Flap's Landrover parts so ridiculously cheap? You can rebuild the whole thing with new components for about 2 pounds, fifty. Was going to drag the Jag fuel tank out to use in the rod until Flap pointed out a brand new Landy one in a more sensible cube shape is less than 50 quid.
