    special thanks to Len Chacal for the donation of a "spin-on oil filter adapter Kit" as a door prize.

    The USPS delayed delivery andvitvonlyvarrived after we were getting ready for our group photo and ride. But that's ok-- cuz as the day unfolded, Ken (fleetwood) was unable to make it..... first, a strap broke and his bike tipped over and badly dented the tank ( xj700 airhead)..... then, to add insult, a little while later a trailer bearing blew out the bearing buddy and overheated. They were able to get a grease gun to reload it, but turned around and headed home in the interest of safety. He was planning to do a fork seals replacement. SO--- the decision was made to give Ken the Spin-on kit, as the "Hard-Luck Door Prize". It will be sent to home for his 700.

    Everyone else got an xj4ever helmet sticker, and NAPA donated a few cans of carb spray, Gates-Cole Insurance donated a lot of little goodies, too.... so everyone got some cool things.
