Larry -
True enough. Ted definitely knows his stuff, particularly about
Triumphs and Triumph engines. I'm fortunate enough to be in the same
state, so I can run up there when I really need something.
What, you mean you can't get an engine reinstalled in 20 days?!? Who
says you need a weekend? I did one in about 10 days, working about 30
minutes at a time, whenever I was home and could squeeze it in.
Alright, everybody, let's cheer Larry on!
