Well, it appears my aspirations to go the International Rally will have to go unfulfilled. The bike is not quite out of rebuild, but that is a weak excuse, since I've reached the point where it could be running with about three hours of concentrated work. The real reasons are time and money --- work deadlines and bike shipping cost. If I were to truck the bike, add four days for driving. I wouldn't mind going just to be around, but there is this:
3. All participants are expected to attend with a BSA motorcycle.
There's a workaround, but not that inviting.
OK, that's it. Just closing that story.
