I know you're not fond of 4-stroke motors but you kinda needed it for your trip didn't you? :-D

How does a "pick up" next Sunday sound to you brother?  I can't wait to ride my KX500 for the first time.....and I say "first time" because even when it ran before the air filter got dirty, it ran like ass!!  And for you Mr. Motorrad, for all your help I've got a little something for ya........







































I was given a stack of Danny Hamel "DH" stickers by Danny's dad Roger and a stack of Danny Hamel 1X stickers by Paul Krause back in those days.  They are priceless, original, and irriplaceable.......And I have a couple of each for you to go with your Danny Hamel pipe and seat.  Thanks for all your help brother.  We'll go out for a ride once you return from your big ride. 8-)
