although I haven't been on the Salt for 3 years, I've been slowly working 
on a couple of projects, a bmw r100 with a homemade sidecar, this my daily 
driver, not racer, and I've been slowly working on the bsa  for the Salt, 
building a new aluminium fairing for it, and gathering parts for the dodge 
colt to bring it out again too....been riding the bmw sidecar everyday , 
coldest so far 10*F with 3 inches snow, its like driving a very fast 
snowmobile on very smooth trails, just have to dress for it is all. got a 
job in greenland next year, may to august drilling holes in the Ice, then 
the same job may take me back to Antarctica for the following 4 years 4 to 
5 months each year....I'll make it back to the Salt, still have that itch 
to see how fast a vehicle I made can go.....
