<VV> EUM ON THE ROAD

[Bob Lindsey]

Congrats Hank!

Nothing quite as satisfying as the first ride after putting a lot of work on
a Vair.  I feel the entire VV group has enjoyed your updates, please keep us
informed.

refurbished.

someday. When going 60, it sounds like you're going 70. I doubt I will take
it up over 70mph anyway, not too many places around here other than the
interstate where you can go 70, and I don't choose to do that often on a
vehicle with 4 drum brakes. too long of a distance to stop. But overall, a
torquey drivetrain. No problem for me.
