Stafford,
I couldn't make it to Portland this year either, after the trip to Texas to pick up that bike and vacation over the 4th with the family but I plan on going next year. That bike is a 49 and not a 47. The K motor was only made in 1949. I have repaired the throttle and took it to a small antique bike show in Chesnee, SC last week end. It had more pictures taken of it than any other bike there and I'm sure I could have sold it at least 20 times if it was for sale.
BJM,
I'll bring this bike by your shop for you and Billy to look at next week.
