Mark, just remember that adrenaline keeps you young :-)

All in all, a great weekend. I did have to bleed the Duc clutch on
Sunday AM (got down the mountain and decided it was too much of a
hassle, and needed to be fixed...). I cracked the top banjo to bleed
it, and it _fizzed_, like ginger ale. Gilles ran and got some brake
fluid to top it off, and it worked fine the rest of the way home. I
suspect that sitting overnight on the side stand with the slight slope
caused it to suck up some air.

BTW, Steve, that's why i stalled three or four times trying to get
moving...
