Many of you know our friend "Puff Bill" from Dyersburg, Tennessee. Bill being in close proximity to the factory has many opportunities to visit the "factory boys" and often hears "inside" information. Now Puff Billy will have a place to share that insider information with his friends here at V8Bikers.Net!! We look forward to hearing from you often Bill!!

Rob,

I will be asking for them to "reserve" one

We can always go to plan "B".
