kevinx lives in Gainesville FL and works at Polaris of Gainesville. Send him a pm and he'll hook you up.
Next to Lloyd (Hard on Horsepower) kevinx is the top Vic wrench; the only reason I give Lloyd the nod is because he has done the R&D for these parts and produces them for sale.

For three to make it. the mix would have to be two 09's, and one 08. However we may be able to make this work. As I said we are looking at the end of March. I will PM all with the tentative dates as soon as I get to work Monday |

In two plus years of dealing with them it is still a pleasure to walk into PVMC and be greeted as a friend and not just another customer. They are ALL top notch people and do all they can to make your visit there a good one!!! Let us know when you plan to be there and we'll stop by for a meet & greet!! |

These trips have a very tight focus, and unfortunatly that does not give me time to do exhaust. So before would be the best thing.
I have my finger on the button to book the date as the 27th, and need to make sure that works for all |

Tucson, AZ | Yep, mine too! I haven't had a surgery in more than two years, so I'm good to go. All I need is a firm date. I assume that this will be an over nighter. So if that's correct, where's everyone staying at? It's about a three to four hour ride from Tucson to Prescott so that makes sense to me. Besides I haven't been there in awhile and would make for a good ride.

I think it would be best if the last bike were Neck Tie since he is the local, or Paul since he will be doing an overnight.
7AM=open
10AM=AZ Rob
1pm=Grey Rider

There is a Hampton Inn right in the business district of Precott Valley. There are other hotels in PV and Prescott. Rates vary. From the Hampton, there are many restaurants and a sports bar at Buffalo Wings which is walking distance. For Ribeyes there is LefTy's on Hgwy 69, Texas Rodehouse by Gateway Mall, Cattle Co. on Sheldon near downtown Prescott, Outback at Frontier Village, Dry Gulch off Iron Springs, and others. Cottonwood is nice but the ride thru Sedona is tops.
I'll be hanging around the master wrench most of the afternoon. I'm still not clear if it's Big Joes house or at Kewelmetal. Either way, as it gets closer I will arrange to meet up with your group and guide you in. See you on the 20th. |
