Pleeeeease Dave! You got that damage on our last ride up through Booneville. Remember when we stopped for lunch and you decided that be Evel Knievel and jump your monster on that hill next to the picnic bench?  [evil]  IIRC you also had your headlight fall off. ;D
Who is helping you pull that dent?  Sorry to hear/see that, your bike was looking good.

Anyway, I hope all goes well for you.

there was going to be something humorous here, but, unfortunately, i was in charge of the typing, and this is all i could come up with.

I was going to ask Skip Lovell to help with the dent pull. We got too much heat on it last time and made a tear in the sheet metal. It brazed up just fine though. I also fixed that headlight falling out problem! Now I can Jump it all I want!  [moto]

Does Skip still have that BSA? That's a sweet little ride. [moto]

As far as I know he does. He sold the other one, and I think he sold the BMW too. The Big "Goldwing" BMW. He still has the 1150. How you doin on the Island. Comin back to the mainland any time soon? You should visit and give a talk.

Update:

I was going to sell this thing not 20 minutes before the accident. Now They are sending me a big check to fix it. Not totaled! even though it has a Salvage on it.

So I'm thinking of making this the track bike that I can ride on the street. a couple of mods I have in mind are

Different rearsets
High mount exhaust
Re anodize & use those clipons I have in the garage.
New Master cylinders & Levers

Tank repair by me. (Sorry Hands)

And Maybe this spring If I can sell the track bike.
Bigger Motor.

Other Option is lightened flywheel & FCR Carbs (it's a 750)
Improved or New better shock.

I also thought that SSS might be cool but not mandatory.

I was wondering who does custom exhaust around here. I was thinking of using the low mount cans i have. They were $600 & there is nothing wrong with them.
& who does anodizing?

Suggestions?
