Glad to see the whole family coming Greg!

     we might have to get a Parade permit, and maybe Security Gaurds (if were going to have a beer) you know how California is now days..  Probably requires an Environmental Impact report for the areas we're going thru...  Hopefully no hot stators (fire hazard and all).  Ron, look into this please.

Don't worry Dave, I'll check into it....  We might need a permit for all the shredded rubber we'll put on the roads too.

  I know you're right on that deal!  Sure too bad about Jim Pomeroy dying, did you here?

Yeah, that's really sad.  Its strange that someone with the skills Pomeroy had would be done in in a single vehicle accident.  Just his time to go I guess.

  yea, I read he tipped it over on one of those telephone guide wires.. also he had his daughter with, but she was ok. it was at an off road park for jeeps.  what a drag   I was around him many times at the AHRMA events I  go to.  He was very personable, loved having a good time

Glen,
   I put the master cylinder on yesterday and guess what.  It didn't work!  Now if I didn't know you, I would have to assume you were trying to pull a fast one over on me, but I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.  I pulled the plunger out ( not sure of the technical term) and it had I bunch of crap in it.  I guess its time for the routine 25 year service.  I look forward to seeing everyone and actually riding a Vision to a Vision rally.  What if I just stick the Vision emblems onto my Kat in the appropriate places?

Ryan and I finished getting his '82 back together enough for me to take it for a test ride around the block last night. There are still a couple of minor issues to resolve (throttle cable routing, rear brake light switch connection to the brake pedal), but those should be cleared up today.

Now I just have to remind him to stay away from the soda bottles out on the road, and he should be good to go for the rally.

Maybe some kind of sweep in front of the bike like a cowcatcher on an old locomotive. ;D ;D ;D

CROV gang,
4 weeks to go.  I replaced the steering head bearing and my fork oil. The V is running great.  I found another exhaust sytem so hopefully I may get  a chance tor eplace  the mufflers  before the ride.
Take care,   Dark V

  sounds good darkvision,  it will be nice to meet you. dave

Craig,
Superfly and I will be trailerling up on Friday.
With any luck we should be there about 1 or 2pm.
Would you be kind enough to post directions from HWY 99 coming from the south and directions for those coming from the bay area?
Thanks,

The most direct route is to take Hwy 99 north to Stockton to the Waterloo/ Hwy 88 exit.
Careful here as the exit does not have much approach and is a tight right, left, right.
Follw Hwy 88 to Jackson, careful to catch the left turn just past Clements.
As you approach Jackson the first stoplight is ridge road. Take a left here and you will bypass the traffic of downtown Jackson.
Follow Ridge Road to Pine Grove, careful to catch the left turn about 6-7 miles out.
Ridge Rd re-intersects with Hwy 88 at Pine Grove.
Take a left and follow Hwy 88 through Pine grove until you see the large Billboard on the right for the Gold Mining Camp. This is the corner with Tabeaud Road,where you will find the Pine Acres "Resort" about a half mile off of the Hwy.

For any one coming from the North the best bet would probably be to take Hwy 99 south from Sacramento to the 104/Ione exit. This is about 8-10 miles south of Elk grove.
Follow 104 past the nuclear plant, through downtown Ione (turn left ,two blocks, turn right) to the Hwy 88 junction.
Turn left towards Jackson and take the same Ridge Road route described above.

Good luck.
Looking forward to a great meet.

Three weeks from today guys.
Check those stators, synch those carbs.
Is your master cylinder serviced.
Got fresh tires?
Dang, these visions are a lot of work.
It will be worth it though.

Glen,
   If those brakes worked for you, you weren't going very fast.  I have them apart cleaning everything up and will put them back on this weekend.  Hope for the best.
