i'm hagerstown md....about 1.5hours away...maybe a bit more...pitts is 2hours.....

if you see  http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=34154.0 ou'll see what I'm doing...but right now before I would venture that far is to get the carbs synced (replaced exhaust valves) then tuned. That is of course after I get the fairing back on, the cables/lines hooked up, brake calipers back on, and all the fluids replaced, then a gentle 100mile break-in or so so the vavles don't cup again

It sucked. Well, it sucked because I got home from reserves on Saturday, crashed on teh couch, and didnt wake up until well after dark. :) Sunday was the same deal too. Didn't get back until later, and by the time I hit the Altoona/Ebensburg area, all bikes were heading away from the Johnstown area.

I did make it down for the Clarks show on Friday, and although the show was good (as was their opening band, the Marauders), I hit the food area looking for something to eat. Holy freaking crap! The vendors should be in jail for robbery. $8 for a chicken on a stick? $6 for a burger? I forget the vendor's name but they seem to rail the customer when it comes to prices year after year after year after year.... Somebody should have told those vendors that the event was Thunder in the valley, not Thievery in the valley.
