Hello Volks,

Well i'm just back from my first road trip in the new to me 81 Westy.
About 375 miles round trip and she ran flawlessly.

We left Macon, GA at about 2:30 pm Saturday and headed for Atlanta, GA
where my wife's folks live.  I dropped the sweet wife off at her Mom's
house and I headed for the North GA mountains for the annual Six Gap
Century bicycle ride. If you like to ride bicycles and you live within
driving distance of N. GA you gotta come do this one.  Its put on by the
Dahlonega C of C and its one of the better rides in this neck of the woods.
But back to the Westy.

I spent Saturday night in the North GA. mountains, did the bicycle ride on
Sunday and returned home on Sunday.  What a great trip, cool weather, great
bicycling and good fellowship.  Only saw one other Westy, a white EuroWesty
 and I unfortnately did not get to talk with the owners.

The only problem is that I could not keep the flame lit on the frig while I
was driving in the Westy.  Worked fine while I was parked but blew out
every time when I started to drive.  What a royal pain in the rear. Is this
how it works or does the frig need work.

Thanks for any help there might be out there.
