It didn't, the dealer in Vancouver explained that to me. He's going to call me when there is a demo available. With all of the charge stations popping up on the West coast, it wont be long that you could travel from Wash. State to California. These stations will give a 90% charge in less than an hour! Valve recession be gone! :x

What happened to all those Raby engine parts?

On an even odder note, I found myself drafting behind a 1.9L Vanagon on the highway with my new 125R (R not for rocket).
The Raby bits are just fine. Prior issues were with quality of non-Raby parts, and the most recent one looks like assembly error--not enough clearance for the swivel feet to turn 5K rpm :oops:

Do I know you in a VW context?

And that would be the challenge with the 125R--not only needing to find a vehicle to draft, but finding one slow enough that you can stay in the draft. I had similar problems on a bicycle BITD.
Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.

No, last winter I was considering an air cooled Westy. While trolling the net for engine info I ended up on Jake's forum and followed one of your engine rebuilds. :geek:

Ah, Melville does not know Garnet in this context, but Garnet knows Melville.
