    I have one fork almost finished. I should have both of them done by the
    weekend. The bike will need to be tested, so I will put it out there. Bjay,
    would you come up and test ride the bike for me? I would only need you to
    get it up to a 115 or 120 to ensure it does not develop a high speed wobble
    or anything. Saturday would be good for me.

    Do you have the progressive springs in your Valk? If so, do you think
    they made a difference and if not, have you considered them?

    Yeah, I will have it on the road soon. If I could work on the damn thing
    longer than an hour or so, it would be done.

    I am putting progressive springs in it. Everything I have read says it is an
    upgrade to do. I am replacing all the bushings and seals too. the oil looked
    bad in it too, so I am glad to be changing it. Should handle better than
    new.

    In one of my previous posts, I mentioned Andy at Metric Motorcycles. Call
    him up and ask him about your application. He is a good guy and
    knowledgeable. I think he is good enough to come up and have him do your
    work.

    We better go ahead with those plans to do that intervention
    meeting at Bjays' house.. Big Ed has already got all the mat-
    erials he'll be needing for the counselling stuff... You know..
    dried chicken feet.. frog nuts, powdered mosquitos and that
    kind of stuff.. Immediate counselling for Bjay is necessary..

    You eyeballed in on that awkard sounding verse I said above. Damn you
    are alert.
    No wonder why you are the Skipper of the OldTimers Riding Club. <g>

    Glad I said I'm up here.

    But the part that I wrote garrulously, was the ''love ya'' short little
    phrase. <g>

    LOL.

    <grumble.. grumble> The only reason that danged RedShad
    threw that in there is to stir up some trouble in our family..

    Since I let it slip that your wife and I are first cousins, twice re-
    moved.. him and that sidekick of his, Louie.. have sure been trying to
    stir up some shit in our family.. There's not anything right about guys
    that act that way..
