Portland 2014

[Ricks]

I will be camping there James.   Hopefully  Simplex hill is BACK!   

Is Travis coming with the mini bike?  He can go for the wheelie world record!

[kartjockey]

Unfortunately he can't make it so I will be flying solo on this trip. I'll be taking a ton of pics for him. Sucks because the S2 is really for him to ride. I am not the selfish type but no one has ever rode the '48 but me!

[Sonrisers]

That stinks, I was gonna see if I could ride it to see how it is to ride with the manual clutch, I had a 47, but never rode it.

[kartjockey]

What do we have?  5 people from here saying they will be at the show? 

Mike Sal and PD.  Are you going?   

[Ricks]

PD hasn't been on it 2 weeks, I hope all is good. 

Maybe he is just avoiding us until after Portland so we don't break his balls too much!  LOL

Mike Sal said he is going.

I think we will see Bruce out there also.

[kartjockey]

good!  Seems like DW1973 said he might  be going. Looks like Mike Sal hasnt been on in a week or so. I hope he isn't wasting his vacation because of the holiday.  LOL

[Ricks]

Mike recently bought a Kuebelwagen reproduction and has been spending way too much time on another forum!  LOL

All depends if Wayne gets me the crank in time.  If I have the crank by next tuesday night, I will put it together wednesday morning.

I haven't been on line due to no internet service at or even close to the park we're hosting this season .

As for Portland , things are not looking good , but I'm not giving up . There's still time for things to work out .

Almost ready for the tripold blue is running even took it down to the bridge and back. Wow but heres just no power maybe carb maybe fuel? I dont know! I do know that the new clutch shoes are getting hot really hot. I hope I can get Wayne to take a peek at it and tune it right for me. I do need to get my new trailer set up to haul the bikes up there and should arrive late Friday night. So hetes to seeing everyone soon.

[relic]

Ill be there on Thursday night...staying a few miles away but i will be there for the weekend!

[Sonrisers]

Mine is running the same way Reese, starts and drives, but don't seem to have much power. I am hoping the experts can help me out.

[Mike Sal]

yes, I've been running way too many different directions this summer!!!!  Spent the last 2 weekends in Chicago at my daughter's house, visiting the new grandson and fixing a small car for the son-in-law.  He got the little cracker box car for free from a tennant of one of his rentals....a chevy Aveo....notorious for timing belt failures.  8 bent valves & 8 cracked valve guides.  It was fun working on it & fabricating the tools.  Got it running in time to get home by 11pm last night.....did get to take a break & see a Beatles tribute band playing at their local street festival Saturday night.

I have been asking a lot of dumb questions on the Samba site due to the purchase of the kubelwagen.....I didn't realize there were so many different terms for volkswagen parts.....

I'm still waiting for the rest of my parts to come in from overseas, so the R71 w/ sidecar will not be coming to Portland with us like I'd hoped......

I have to leave Wednesday for a blitz trip to california & won't get home till late Thursday night.....Won't leave much time for packing up the bikes (will bring the blue honda along with the Simplex again this year) & heading to Indianapolis on Friday to see the antique lamp show, then on to Portland from there.......Holy Cow....
