think) about some clubs (Triumph, mostly) doing this sort of thing. I would
like to be able to go on road trips in my 'B, but lack of confidence
(availability of parts/expertise) kind of makes me leary. AAA and tool kit
aside, it would be nice to know someone with LBC experience was somewhere in

my state club(s) and the LBC people in my area. Sign me up.
