Hey All,

Finally got the 70 Ambo back together. The final damage was a bent intake
valve and push rod (left cylinder). I am still trying to figure out how this
all happened but I think the valve stuck in the guide and the rod was bent
after that. At any rate.....the bike is running ok and I have some neat
desktop paper weights to add to my collection :-)

Now...on to rallies. As is the case with many....time constraints will not
allow me to take off the time needed to attend the National in SD. This
sucks as I was hoping to meet up with many of my fellow Loopers that live in
that part of the world. Hopefully in the future I will be able to plan for
something that will bring me out that way....I like the idea of hitting the
AZ rally at some point in the future.

Till then I will call the Virginia Rally (June 25,26,27) my "East Coast Loop
National". Plan is to either swap shifts with one of my co-workers (or call
in sick!) and leave from home on Friday morn. I will be travelling with Ed
and if anyone is heading north from (or through) Atlanta they are welcome to
join up with us.

Who's coming? I think this rally could have a big Loop turnout and no one
will be disappointed with the rally site or the area. One of the best I have
ever been too.

Ciao...Ian
