Hi Trav-
I'm about 6 mi. South of Albert--very, very rural, almost dead center of the State. I was at Steve's this Summer for the Thunder on the Prairie rally. (Nearly all Harleys, but a good time) My old flat-tracking buddies told me about him a while back, along with Stan, who has the KS. Motorcycle museum up the street from Steve. Stan campaigned Harleys a couple of decades or more ago. Steve has tons of stuff, for sure, and more hidden here and there in buildings that I don't think anyone has seen for years. How'd you like the tanks hung on the ceiling rafters in his place?!? Another good source is Bart Otti in Wichita. Tough fellow to warm up to, but he has the goods and sells now on e-bay. Bought and swapped a lot with him in the early-mid 90's. I'll try to get some snaps of the T-Bolt and post them on the BSA board (Deference to the Triumph guys, thanks for the patience here!) You're not far from John Fike- hot shoe BSA racer and ace mechanic-he opened up shop in Manhattan. I'll surely get in at least a day of riding soon-60 degrees in November is like an edict from God to ride, and who am I to argue with that??
