Hi Mike,

No, Pinky isn't done yet.  Everything is done but some body work and paint.  I
got sidetracked with other hobbies and interests - new grandbaby, ultralight
airplane, R/C flying, etc.  I still work full time too.  :-(

This summer for sure!

completed.  I wound up using a full race suspension that I had and a lot of
other goodies.  It runs very nice with the 1275 but I sure notice the
difference in weight between the Seven and Spridget.  The Spridget feels
smoother though at speed and not fidgety.  I think that I am going to use it
as transportation given the gas prices.  Should be fun.

Has anyone had good experiences or bad experiences with them?  I am going to
use on my 1275 that I just rebuilt over the winter.  What spark plugs would I
use?
