Day Two - John Day Oregon to Hailey Idaho

At the start we had 3 bikes in the sag wagon. Mike Garrett, Mike Bobadillo and Sailor Sara had break downs. Heytens blew a clutch side seal, and repaired it at this time. 6 bikes in the wagon. The SAG Wagons are full. There are going to be riders that will either have to drop out or get their bikes fixes quickly. There is a rule in effect that if a bike is not running for two consecutive days and in the wagon, the rider is out so as not to hold up the group.

The tNg's came in 1-12 today. The Vintage bikes came in later in the day, about 2 hours later.

The riders were going through a couple of forest fires and there were some smoke issues, but all in all it sounds like they had a great day of riding.

A lot of elavation gains, lots of twisties. Riders are at least 7 hours apart. At the time of this posting riders are still showing up. It's 9:00 pm local time.

Order in.

Importing Italy, one part at a time.

if you're trying to impress me, you've failed.

think the breather T i'm using for the inline/extended tanks is too narrow and not feeding fuel quick enough under load. plug was dark and dry. no scoring on the cylinder wall.

airbornevespa has had several issues, the largest one now being a bent crank. may have something to do with riding 90mph (indicated by passing car flashing "9 - 0" with their fingers) earlier in the day.

there has been quite a few breakdowns. we have eight slots for bikes on the support vehicles and all eight were used yesterday. garrett and i are leaning towards calling it a day vice taking up space needed on the trailer (although including garrett and i, only four will be starting on the trailer today).

it's been great meeting new faces and seeing old ones, but most likely, we'll be bidding the cannonball adieu.
