Title: KTM rebuild at Mid-Ohio

Hello Kip Kern,  I was wondering if you still intend to demonstrate the dis-assembly, rebuild, and re-assembly of the KTM air cooled engine at Mid-Ohio.   Joe

Kip,

If so I have a engine that could be your Huckleberry.:D  Seriously, that would be cool if it was Friday since that is a non-race day.[8D]

So far not good, all the engines I had done for the school are spoken for or in bikes.  I am currently finishing 3 Husky's for the featured Marque at Mid Ohio and running behind.  It will take me 2 weeks to prep 2 engines for training and I don't have it right now.  I sure wished the weather would have been better during the February POG meeting as I was on top of my game then, sorry but I'll figure something out here in the future.  My bad:(

A video tape lesson on this would be nice.  I would buy one! Of course I would probaly be the only one to buy one so it might not be to profitable.

Probably would be easier than trying to get everyone together.  I will slow down at the end of August, possibly my son can come up with ideas for a video (computer animator) Will check it out!

I think there would be a great interest for a motor rebuild demo.
I know I'd be in for one too!

Even something like pointers or highlights to look out for.  I.E. "You gotta find/buy this tool."  "Make sure you check this dimension" "Here's a little trick".. etc etc,,  I think most of us know enough to get us into trouble.

I think every POG member who's an engine builder, or would like to be a KTM engine builder, would cough up enough money to buy a Kip Kern video.  The benefits would surely outweigh the cost of a DVD.

Where's the line form Kip?
