        Greetings

        I don't know about a Grand job, I'm just getting going. Your trip, that's what it's all about. I'm going to spend a bit of time looking at those photos. Belguim is looking more and more interesting. That Triumph is a "MONSTER"! How did your bike get along with those pseudo GS's? I'm sure they were nice lads. Looks like a grand time.

          Paul,

          I'm hoping to send the tank and body work off to Repduction Decals to get some new ones made. I like the Gold and Black theme and I'm hoping I can get them done. If I'm able you'll be able to get new ones from them.

          PS: I thought all the members in the UK would be at Hurricane party. What's up?

              The worst of it passed me by I like the black and gold for one bike, make sure you cut a fair deal on decals, if they come out real good, I'd take one set, 1948man is also after a set, maybe Richard, so lots of follow on work if the get the template right

                  Just placed an order for parts. New rear spline, fork seals/goodies, carb boots, handel bars and a bunch of misc parts for $383.00. Sure glad it was a free bike. Nw I wait..... Still have to purchase the brake lines and parts.

                            Paul,

                            I've contacted the decal company and I'm going to ship my body parts (motorcycle that is) to them for them to copy. It will only cost me shipping both ways to have this done, as they don't have this design on hand. Once they have this design on file, I assume the costs for other interested parties will be comprable to the other 1100g design they do have on file. Now to find a box big enough to handle these parts.

                                The shipping costs are yet to be determined. We'll see what US to Canada and back is. Has to be better than Uk to Canada.
