Re: 2016 Manx Club Wall Calendars - Pre-Order Starts Now!

Brian, Thank you for a brief, and concise clarification on the calendar issue. I remember receiving all of the sales and expense data along with a check for the profits on the sales. It was the most complete, detailed report of any I received during my 7+ years as a MC Director. The entire project o...

Re: Manx sidewinder - type coating

I agree with Bud on the things he is seeing on his sidewinder. Mine is 10 years old and has turned dull, mostly from a couple of oil leaks. I find myself using a very fine steel wool and trying to rub out the blemishes. The sidewinder has about 2k miles on it and will be recoated by jet hot in the f...

Re: Manx On The Banx 2015 - Official Thread

Tim: What hurricane protocol? We won't be there until 4-6 days after Joaquin blows thru. That will be plenty of time for the locals to have cleaned everything up. I just looked at the forecast and Joaquin is looking for a direct hit on OBX, on Sunday the 3rd, but that will change and we have 10 days...

2015 Manx Club Election Ballots

Has anyone received their ballot for the 2015 Manx Club Directors election?

They were supposed to have been mailed on 9/11. Maybe they are on the way.

Snow Summit Fire (August 2015)

It is a good thing that the Manx Club paid it's annual visit to the Big Bear Lake, Ca last month. The Summit Fire is believed to have started about .5 mile west of the host hotel that the MC used in July. Here are a couple of links to the status of the Summit Fire: http://firetracker.scpr.org/summit...

Re: Possible Sidewinder Slip joint leak solution?

When you fueled up in Illinois on the way back from BBB, I noticed that there was quite a bit of popping when you let up on the gas. Have you considered having a muffler shop making the inside pipe just a littler bit larger. You would only need to have about .75" stretched and all of the work w...

Re: Backyard Mechanic Nightmare

Sean, Remember that the lein rules are different in each state. What is the law in California, might not be true for Pennsylvania, Florida, Montana, or New York. Check out the law for your state.

Re: 2015 Big Bear Bash at Big Bear Lake, CA

Is there any truth to the story I am hearing about Northwoods Resort in Big Bear Lake being in the process of a MAJOR renovation of the facility? Something about them now being branded as a Holiday Inn Resort. Has anyone heard anything?
