Been a hectic past week...had July 4th weekend off, four days in a row, can't beat it with a stick, Hurricane Alex out in the Gulf the other week that hit Mexico and is causing flooding along the border with the US and Mexico as well as Tropical Depression in th eGulf that's causing more rain.
In between these rained filled couple of days, it's been Africa HOT with high humidity to boot. For those who love saunas, that's how it felt these last few days.
In the last post I mentioned that Andy, he who owns this motorcycle consignment place on my mail route had gotten himself a 60s vintage H*nda and a BSA single. Have to check with either the the BSAOC or the VMCC as to what model the BSA is.
We're guessing it's a B40, possibly a SS90 version. If so Andy got himself a bargan at $275. Now he just has to rebuild it.
As I'm saving my hard earned ruppees, drachmas and various notes and coppers for the trip home and the Haggis Run in October, not to much has been happening at Thrash 'em Motorcycles as far as any spanner work on Vicky.
However, I had made a couple lists of parts needed for the rebuild as well as joining the VMCC in order to avail myself of the knowledge and expertise that they have if the need arises.
Now it's time to get back to the catching up part.
Until the next time........

...joining the VMCC...good man! That'll save you a few quid when entering the Haggis Run, plus as you say, you'll get many more benefits from being in such a big world wide club.
ReplyDeleteAye that it will. Had actually been thinking of doing it for a bit now and decided to get it done.
ReplyDeleteNever was much of a club joiner, but the advantages were too good to ignore. Plus I don't think there's too many this side of the world who are members.
Good to hear you weathered the storms without too much fuss. I've never been too keen on joining organizations...but one like the VMCC is probably a good 'un. I imagine dating services and serial number verifications and the like would certainly be worth it. I should probably join, since a couple of my British bikes are probably going to need verification for registration purposes. Bet your getting anxious to be on your trip home. Sounds like you'll have a great time. Stay cool...Hairy Larry
ReplyDeleteStorm in a teacup as far as the weather in our area Larry.
ReplyDeleteYour views mirror mine there about joining the VMCC. There's a little welcome packet with some good stuff in here as well as the monthly mag.
As far as club go, from the sounds of it, the GMCC the GBC is with sounds like the type I would join....if it were here. Others in the state seem little "clannish" for my liking.
