This Saturday I am heading up to the Allentown area to pickup a used part for Silvy. If any members up that way want to meet up let me know. Be in that area about 4 - 6 pm. I can't reveal what it is yet because I don't want somebody beating me to it, but I am getting a heck of a deal. I got to double check with Andy to make sure he isn't sitting on one for me, other wise this trip is a go. Time to blow the cobwebs out of Silvy and stretch her legs a bit.

Make sure you take both thumbs with you, that way if she breaks down you can hitch in either direction at the same time.

15 MPG, average highway speed 73 MPH. Highest speed during trip 85 MPH. Longest sustained speed 70 MPH for 45 miles. Sweet spot for cruise power 75 - 80 MPH. Wish I had my damned tach hooked up. Not one square spotted in 151 miles of travel. Mission was to buy a lighted visor. That mission failed. It was not wide enough. Ran the part number off it and it came up as a Dodge minivan visor. :wtf: Craigslist searched from there and found an unlighted visor located 20 miles away on the return route. Picked it up. Didn't want to waste the trip. Phuckit. Will post pics of trip later.

89S out...
