Flamingbabe and I are planning to leave in a 10 days to go on a 10 week trip!!!!!
I had her Spyder pulled apart to check the valve clearance.... Hoping they would all be good..... BUT....
Exh valves were real tight... tighter than spec.....
I really don't feel good about tearing into the work that it takes to remove the cams and change the shims..... so called around town , and every one I called said 3 to 4 weeks for service.
That would put us late for my nephews' wedding, which wouldn't be so bad ... if I wasn't officiating the wedding...Ackkkk.
Called Len at Cowtown... he said he would work us in!!!!!
We will trailer the Spyder, and my bike to Cuba, Have Len and his FAB crew work on the bike!!!!!!
Leave the truck and 18ft gooseneck there in the back pasture somewhere... and take off to Eureka Springs,Ark, for a Valkyrie Rally..... then head off West... and end up in Eureka Ca. for the Spyders in the Redwoods.
Then north to Seattle for the nephews' wedding.... Hook up with my brother-in-law..(he has a Spyder) Ride up into Canada, then down through Idaho to see the grandson..... Then East to Virginia to meet with Friends, Then to East Tenn for Lamonts' BBQ..........Then west to Cuba and Cowtown to get the truck and trailer .....
The real bummer is...Flamingobabe won't drive the truck and trailer.... so I will have to load my bike on it and drive it home.....My bet is she will ride..LOL

Thanks Len for making it happen!!!!

Hope we can hook up with the Mo Gang while we are there!!!!!!!

Keep us posted as to when you will be there, and you never know. Couple of weeks ago I made a spur of the moment visit to Cowtown and ran into at least 5 other Spyderlovers there.

Have the valves work done. If you need shims, have Len call with the size, I have a complete set (300 sizes).

Sounds like a party in Cuba on the 21st, at the very least we should do lunch at Mo Hicks. I also know of another Spyderlover from Tenn that is planning on being there that day and I already planned on meeting him.

Oh man. What to do, what to do!?!?

We just sold the house and the new owner asked to take possession ASAP. Closing scheduled for July 30. We have to be out by then. So not sure if we can be there on the 21st. Have fun without us dang it!
