Hi everybody, My wife and I are going to be near Ft. Myers Florida next week and was wondering if there were any Flicka owners in the area that might like to...
As far as heads go, one of the cruising staples as far as heads go is the Blakes Lavac. I am fitting on to Scout as part of the refit this winter. The lavac is...

Hal, Angus, I changed my e-mail a few days ago and just rechecked. The change didn't take, so I changed it once again! I triple check this tomorrow. Tom...
