I especially would like articles about vintage bikes with color pictures. Say, one of this type per quarter. How about a GS article or a K1200 article. How about a sidecar article, especially from Rick Pellegrino or Dick Hickens. Dick has a R67 w/ spezial sidecar all originally factory setup. I got dibs on that one if it ever hits the market. Tom D.

Date: 17 Jan 1998 14:09:58 -0700 Ian, et al, Used to have /2 bikes w/ /5 engines for Stieb hack work. Usually had to pull start a particular rig to get it started. Loosened the nut holding the output flange to the output shaft. 'Course had to do it in Feb.. (cold) in the AZ desert between Flagstaff and UT line. Seems the torque from the wheel to tranny was too much for it. We fixed it on side of road. Yea, we really did. VBG Tom D.
