Well, sorry to say that you will have a full days work when you get here, the trailer is still rammed full from my last Canada trip, I havn't had time to get any bikes ready to ride but I have found 11 air matresses and blown them up to test for leaks! I havn't even ridden a bike since I have been here due to my "accident" :smt023

We are on our way :smt023

Lucky buggers! Sounds like there's loads of triples on offer out there too hope you have a great time and come back with some good stories to tell :smt023

Best get there quick Neil before all the bargains are snapped up.

i hope they brought shorts its bleedin hot here 37 degrees in Chicago
phewww

we arrived safely but the transfer time at chicago was tight at 55 minutes!
We got fast tracked through security and made it with 15 mins to spare.
American airlines international flight which meant FREE red wine
Rick picked us up with the flat back trailer attached and it was straight off to pick up some bikes.
Later the T bone steak and Draught Guinness in TWO pint glasses went down really well!Well almost as Kennys steak was bordering on still being alive
We dropped the bikes at the storage depot that is pretty full already
Back at base it was red wine all round and we went to bed at 5AM UK time having been up 23 hours.
Me AL and Kenny were up at 6am USA time starting to get sorted out for Mid-Ohio

LANDING AT TRAVERSE CITY (AS YOU CAN SEE THE WEATHER IS TERRIBLE


AT THE FIRST DEALERS AND WE HAVE ONLY BEEN HERE HALF HOUR!!



9 BIKES ON THE TRAILER, WHO CAN GUESS ALL OF WHAT THEY ARE???



LOOKING A BIT jADED BUT WE SOON CAME AROUND AFTER ACOUPLE OF THESE





OH DEAR THE MAN WITH THE POORLY WRIST!!! AND YES THAT IS SALAD!!

Ah Robin Hood and his merry men! By the look on there faces I would say someone's nicked the jam out the doughnuts

FFS - cheer up lads. No one will think you wanted to be there even

Would nobody cut up Ricks steak for him so he had to eat Salad !!!!!!{green Kryptonite }

I never thought I would see you guys with anything but huge smiles with beer in front of you...........

Another great day in sunny USA
Cleared out the trailer ready for Mid_Ohio.

Kenny wanted a cruiser!!



Two pints of Guiness yet again!
Me and kenny were VERY happy!

:smt023

No doubt a long way to go just to get a cooler climate

Ah, that's better chaps. You've got a smile on your faces now you've started playing motorbikes

A Loooong day!!
We set out from Traverse at 8.45 and did the journey to Mid-Ohio in one hit! (We usually do it over two days!!)
We arrived in Mansfield 5 miles from the Mid-Ohio site at 8.00pm.
We had one major stop at the mount Pleasant salvage yard

70 H1 (matching numbers) still had the bridgeport barrels!!


Dragged this front end out of the bushs!!



It was worth the $10 he charged me for the WHOLE front end just for the caliper.
Kennys NOS H2A rev counter he found in the speedo dept was VERY expensive at yet another $10!!!!

Another H1 with Bridgeport barrels and we could not get the grab rail to move!!



Back on the road!



After eating in Mansfield and AL having 6 pints of lager!!, we are back at the hotel and partaking in the customary Red wine!
We had to come back as me and Kenny drank the Pub dry of Guinness
Thats going to be it till maybe sunday night as we will have no inter net access at Mid-Ohio

Final post :oops:m
Look what Kenny jut found in my bag at 0.45Am :smt023





RESULT

A hearty breakfast was had by all before we complete the 5 mile journey to Mid-Ohio
