Bob - I plan on attending the 21st unless something unforeseen pops up.
Maurice - I finally got my brake situation squared away... I've been driving without rear brakes for too long. I figured out why the m/c wouldn't hold fluid - discovered the brake line had been rubbing between the header and frame. When the engine rocks (like it tends to do when I jump on it) it wore a pin size hole in the line. While I had it on stands after replacing the break line I changed the
oil, hydraulic fluid, and differential. Now I just need to wipe it down underneath and I'll be ready for some spring weather and driving!
