MPS - My Personal Springer

[wfo]

AWSOME.....that was such a good run..im ready to do it again.that same run with the old machine
would have been long and rough. so i think the upgrade to the springer was worth it..i think also
GOLIATH and GODZILLA are ready for that endurance race, what do you think, 1000 miles, baja calif.
daytona, here to the canadian border..maybe mars...that al hodges motor just might do it

[Mike]

It was neat seeing you guys chase each other around. I still laugh everytime I see Godzilla on the front of Godzilla.

Don't count us out! Would that not be rad. All seven springer in one spot running aroundlooks like stuff a movie could be made of I'm up if the Apache is, and if i know George he will be also. I have a trailer that will haul the machines now.

Looks like a blast there. The one landing looked like a spinal tap but the machine seemed to handle it pretty well, and it is very.............quick!!!!!!!! Loved the video!!!

[George]

Too much video and not enough time.

Darn work schedule.

Great stuff so far guys. I'll have to ctach the other three tomorrow.

That red machine looks crazy fast Joe.

theirs a big group of people from your neck of the woods that send all their rides to
the glamis dunes every year on a enclosed semi trailer a week in advance and then they fly out
and stay in the closest town, brawley, ride for a couple days and fly back, nothing to pack back

[George]

OK...I've watched 3 of the 4 videos. I think I need to rest and pop some dramamine before I watch the last. That is some gnarly stuff!!

[techfx]

Whipper and WFO, when are you two hitting Glamis? I'm pretty busy and in school now but, I may be able to make it there and hopefully break my t-20 so I have more of a reason to rebuild it other than leaking output shaft seals. WFO, Nice job on Goliath!

go slow and float, well..... NO..

WFO is heading out early. I plan on heading out Friday after Thanksgiving. It'll be packed, but we shouldn't be that hard to find.

Whipper
