Duane,

Bummer! I hope this is it, this time...and no more re-breaking bs. That's a nasty little injury there. If it makes you feel better, I have had a few pieces of alloy screwed to my skeleton as well. My orthopedic surgeon use to describe his procedures in great detail. I finally realized they are just a bunch of glorified tractor mechanics. The way they chop and hack their way around is amazing.

I'm on my third set of side pipes for the street now. My latest mufflers were still way too loud. This motor is so noisy, I have to tell my neighbor before I fire it off and can't really run it for very long with out feeling like a bad neighbor. The new configuration will rob over 100 HP but will be reasonably quiet. Who cares on the street. Probably a good thing.

I have a schedule set up with my German freind, Marcus, as far as getting the body and aluminum panel work done. We start next week. That makes me happy.

Take care of that finger,
John
