Thanks for the offer, JU. But I need to do this "pilgrimage" back up to
the North country. Last summer my loop time was very minimal due to the
busted camshaft timing gear, moving, etc. This year I plan on looping it
to all the rallies I can attend. The Quota will be religated to it's
roll as a pack mule with it's ginormous panniers (trips to the store,
etc) and to those occassions where I destroy perfectly good loop
breather boxes :>

If you think it might blow-up at the Mason-Dixon line heading to the MN
Rally. You can always fly-in and take to the road in open air fashion
(no windshield) with a 4spd that shifts the modern way and compression
somewhere where it should be.

Later,
JU
