Chuck machined the heads for my Daytona, bored the cylinders, and did a little port work. I have not assembled them yet. I've been waiting on some 70 degre days do I can paint them. We will have to get the bikes together for Chuck at the the Gap this year.

Here's John's Daytona wheelie pic. This was taken on the bridge between Deal's Gap Motorcycle Resort and Tapoco Lodge on Hwy 129 about 1 mile from Tail of the Dragon. The bridge overlooks what we call Fugitive Dam used in the movie The Fugitive where Harrison Ford jumps while being pursued.
