Okay so I am finishing up the Noid removal and I notice a date written in silver sharpy in side the front lip of the snorkel. It's 6-20-08, which obviously corresponds with my build date of June 08. Has anybody else who has pulled the snorkel out seen a date on theirs? It seems that I can now celebrate the actual birthday for her...I mean if anybody would ever do such a foolish thing ; )

Aw Froggy...why are you harshing my buzz.

But for the sake of conversation, I thought of that. I would think the "birth" date on any part would be a code, not a hand written date. And would be more of a month/year not a specific date.

Assuming it's an actual build date...I wonder how long it takes from the time the snorkel goes on to completion/roll-off(yep I just made that term up). The video on the buell website makes it out to be about, oh, 30 seconds but I'm thinking it's a bit longer.

Loretta is # 154 off the line.
Once, while I was talking to BMC-CS, I asked about the build date.

Found out Loretta's B'day is Nov 7, 2007 - beginning of the second week of production.

Hmmmm...I don't know build date, so I'll consider that conception. Birth date for me will be when she was brought home (April 4th).
