Hey Tom,
Cool, you live down by me and CrnCnn. I live in south Reno also. We should meet up at the new Bully's sometime soon. I know the other guys will be down for dinner and few brewskies.
The clunk is normal for the most part, except it can be better or worse. To me, it sounds like you need a trans service, which I am sure we can help you with, that is, if you wanna save some money, get a little dirty and spend some quality time with the other VXers in town. It's actually an easy job when you have a couple helpers. After my first trans service, my shifting and clunking was WAY better. This is part of the VX that I think gets let go too long and too often, and mainly because our trans is a closed system and requires more work to get at.
I bet the Dragon you live by belongs to the lady who works at the post office off Mccabe Dr. I met her a few weeks ago. She has less than 20k on her clock!!!
We get together pretty often, and it would be really cool to add another VXer to the pack. I've been working on David (oldguywithgoodtaste) for a while too, he also has an Astral...
A 5 member meet-up would be sooooo sweet.
Bart
