East Coast Mini Rally at Mid Ohio 9-11 July

[alwing17]

I will certainly will plan to proudly represent the 1977 GL1000. This bike was mechanically restored by Inspector and now for my part of the teamwork I have it repainted in a rather non-traditional way. But since I have a most excellent 1977 seat and she runs so fine, I have no desire to put her on a trailer. I must say I am amazed Alwing that there is only one 1977 in your mighty fine fleet, but I bet it too is a mighty fine example of the year.

There are plenty of 77's in the CWC! We were looking for stock as well as custom interpertations. I did a bike for one of our members last year,a cirrus blue '77 that was an absolute jewel cosmetically,I did the mechanical end of it,but I don't know if he will be there both days.

I am planning on attending the Mid Ohio. I have never been there. Will the NGW members be showing their bikes or just getting together at the rally?

[Fred Camper]

This will be my first event with the club as well, so it sure would be nice to have a "meet and greet" somewhere. Any suggestions?

Fred,are you coming with Terry? If so,I was going to suggest meeting at the Classic Wing Club tent,which is located next to the infield.The show changed drastically last year. I asked NGW members to meet at the AMA tent. Last year,they had 3 different ones! What I am going to do this year is post my cell# if anyone gets lost,as well as to find a layout of the track and post it with the location of the CWC tent. Keep looking on this thread for more details.

Sorry to dissapoint you,Fred...This is my only '77! It will be restored soon,but not in time for Mid-Ohio. It came in a package deal w/a 1980 Interstate that I really didn't want,but it looked good,so I bought the pair. The build is under Members' restorations and projects under 1980 Interstate build.

I plan to travel with Terry, so the CWC area is fine. The cell phone idea will work if needed, Terry already has mine.

Thursday before, BBQ at my place(Gahanna, bout a hour south of the track) if you are coming a little early Some on site camping(backyard type). Motels close too....


If not we will be posting a list of contacts, as I did not get to meet anyone last year, at least from NGW...

But hey, it still has a rear grab handle, so it is not all bad. Sometimes it is nice to use up your stored parts on a stripped bike. So that may very well be a fun project!

Got a few of those lying around! I want to get all of the parts I want ahead of time,got a couple of feelers out on some '77 Cirrus blue panels,and I thing I will have a seat swap w/Terry along the way soon. As far as mech. things go,the bike does start and run...Badly,so carbs and belts will be addressed as well as a possible water pump.
The way the snow is melting,I may be able to get my trailer out of the backyard and bring one home to work on soon!

[Fred Camper]

I hope to make it over on Thursday as well.

You need to pick up a few more alwing, looks like you are pretty short.

[Fred Camper]

I agree that alwing looks pretty slim by museum standards, so we should all be on the look out for him. My 1977 parts bike would just be another project if stashed in his shed. I need to get this thread bumped to page 6 as my crackberry cannot render page 5 due to the very large pictures posted above. We like the detail of large photos, but 640x480 is often plenty of resolution and then those of us addicted to a crackberry can still render the page.

[alwing17]

Ah,but you can't have too many projects,Fred! Trouble is finding the time to do them,but with this warmup we are having,I may go and swap out the front ends on my 305 Dream.

[Fred Camper]

bump, Thanks to Matt for the long awaited page 6, so my Crackberry habit is preserved.
