Here is our motor, 46k's of engine and 2 pairs of clean undies! Ready to assemble, jet-lagged and caught a cold to boot.

We got the mtr together and landed at Kenny Coulson's (VTRA number 1) to pick up and fit our Aussie engine. Kenny lives down the road from mate, Mike Kidd!

After 2 days with Kenny fitting and tuning she is a goer, Texas hospitality at its best. Really has been a big few days, with the jet-lag and so forth, probably too big.

Hey Pete, if you see one of those neat alloy tanks at a swapmeet grab it for me ;D. The Griswolds Tour Bus looks the hot setup, I hope the bike's well and truly locked on though. I guess you couldn't fit it inside?? Regards to out Texas friends and say g'day to Homer and Marge in Springfield. ;)

Thanks fella's, it is like a dream while we are here, the tank an seat combo is carbon fibre (light as), we have a padlock on it but honestly we feel really safe here, almost always camp out.
