We had much work to do. The Australian's bikes (3) needed servicing, chain replacements, tire changes, oil, filter and fluid changes. One was making a ticking noise when done so they took the head off again and readjusted. Purrs like a kitten. John's bike needed a front seal which had to be ordered and they would have in Friday. Dan's bike was a mess. He had rode it 2 weeks prior after redoing it and motor blew. It needed an engine swap. The plan was to get the Australian's bikes up and running, service both mine and Davids as well, ours needed oil changes and mine tires, then do the engine swap on Friday as well as finish up John's seal. With much efforts and working into the late nights, they were right on schedule. Dan did a bunch of running around and last minute things so he was busy. David and Keith did most of the work on the bikes. Dan and the Aussies chipped in. We picked them up at the airport on Thursday and Bill on Friday. Becky and I did errands and grocery shopping. We kept the boys fed and happy. Though they did not even drink until Friday night I believe. What a record! With all the stress that was running around the guys managed to get all bikes running and ready to go for Saturday morning. Way to go!

And there were many, many trips to Chaparrals!

there are lemon, orange and ruby red grapefruit trees. I picked fresh fruit daily and made fresh lemon water. The grapefruit after being in fridge was delicious!
