Thanks but where? The word Oley doesn't get me far in my google search. Event details if possible.
Edit, I just found something in PA, I assumed it would be in NJ for some reason

Oley Pennsylvania, near York PA.
One of the best meets in our area and early in the year to help with last minute parts to finish up a build. Per the link above they are celebrating Shovelheads, gotta get mine complete and ride her over.
Friday night 1/8 drag races at Reading MC Club right down the road is always a good time.
And Johnjzjz usually comes for one day.

To close the thread, Cycle Den in PA had a cylinder. Less than .030 bore and no broken fins. Has the appropriate look for my bike, it is on it's way to engine builder. Now I just need him to get it back together!!!

Yes Oley is closer to Reading, but he is from Canada, I was just giving him a location he should know for general geography, he was looking in a different state.
But you are correct.

Hall's HD in Springfield Illinois let me borrow a lift. Rear cylinder wrist pin clip walked and ate the cylinder.
Kelly Modlin (not pictured) at Twisted OZ Museum in Augusta KS loaned me a running WLA motor.
My motor sitting on the floor after being ripped from the frame.
Kelly on the left, the full crew including me. We started at 6;30 AM, at 10:30 AM she light off on the first hot kick. Took till about 1:30 PM to get her sorted, the carb on the motor was iffy, we had to go back on the lift and swap to my carb.
Next day 230 miles from Lawrence KS to Claremore OK. Joined the Chase there.
I successfully rode 1000+ miles from home on Long Island to south of Chicago. Then after three days of panic and wrenching I rode 2300 miles from Lawrence KS all the way to Santa Monica California via Route 66. It took the entire village to make it happen. After the motor mishap my only big issue was a shot primary chain, John overnighted my one and I swapped it I think in Laughlin. Besides that the bike actually held up quite well.
