One or two.  I was surprised that the coil died, as it was only a few years old.  I also ordered a Nova II ignition, but it did not get here before I had it running again.

It's "go time" gentleman.  Down to a month! 

Please take plenty of pictures.

PD,  How is the Simplex running out?  Ready for the show?  Is everyone preparing for the show?  I have my list made of the stuff I like to take and am planning on a longer trailer to bring all four bikes. my latest two won't be running but so people can look at them. Plus will bring a mini bike or two and my '39 Schwinn.

I'm still in high hopes to at least have mine running. I haven't got the time right now for the fine tuning it needs. That and all the mud and mosquitoes in my barn keeps me from wanting to go out and finish it. Here's the sign I had to post last week. Lol

The mosquito is the official Minnesota state bird.

The Simplex is coming along , slowly . But , I plan on it seeing Portland next month .

Last week we had just shy of 10 inches of rain .

Just over 2 months to go!  I need to do a few things on the Sportsman to call it finished.  The auto transmission is engaging too early, I think it may have incorrect springs on the clutch shoes.  I also got a new pair of weights from Wayne for the double track clutch, as the ones in there have been modified, for some unknown reason.

Anybody else getting ready?

can you direct me to the site/info for portland?
and any info on the camp site?
I'm thinking of going.

I'm starting to get that Portland itch! I've been so busy lately...everything else has been consuming my time. I did get the Simplex out a couple of weeks ago for a parade, and the old throttle cable seized up. I ordered another from Wayne and got it installed. I also got a new jet for the carb, and it is running a lot better now. Just a couple of big popcorn events to go and we will be heading out. Planning on being there Thursday early. Hope to see as many of you guys as possible. Looking forward to the group photo again this year and hoping to blow away the 37 we had last year.

I've been scratching for months!

Pretty much every year I have went to Portland its been last man out for me.  Turn out the lights! Never wanted it to quit!  This year I will be there to turn on the lights.  See what it is like on the front end of the show. Planning on getting there on Monday.  (Ernie said to. Right Ernie!?)
