Thanks Roady, that means a lot. I could not have accomplished this without your help along with a couple of unnamed Canadians, Cleve Al, Iceman, a dog boy, Toledo Tom and many others. This is a great group! I have learned and accomplished more with these bikes than I ever imagined. Only goal that has eluded me is BOTM, so next build will be better. ern

Sad but 993 will be on the block soon. Bought her as a single guy but shortly after the Lord blessed me with a terrific wife who loves to ride. Now only enough ride time for one bike. MBS just did not pan out for me. Sure great to see your LTD going to a Nobel cause.

No hitch on the caddy though I have thought about that many times. Myself and a buddy drove to Lexington yesterday to deliver the bike. The new owner is a BMW motorcycle dealer from homer Georgia. Great guy and you could tell he knew bikes. Anyway, it all went perfectly yesterday. It was nice to have him tell me that of all of the bikes he had purchased it was the only one that looked better in person than in the pictures. He was happy, I was happy, ALL GOOD. Then on the way home Fritz and I discovered a place called the liquor barn! But I guess that is a story for another day. It has been a great ride and hope to do it again soon!
