| Between the Wisconsin
Crew and the Norwegians, with a combined travel distance of over 6,000
miles, many "interesting" things can happen.
Some people base their theories on Murphy's Law, but as Thorvald's Law says.. |
"It's not 'Can you do it'... it's 'Do you Want to do it !! " |

Have you ever tried to
ship an R6 engine on a commercial jet plane?? Well, it ain't easy
that's for sure. Some discoveries were made.... no matter what you
do to be sure everything works out smoothly, Thorvald's Law will come into
play at some time.
MotoGreg was determined to overcome Thorvald's Law. His task: To get a crated R6 engine down to Daytona for installation in a Norwegian R6 in time to race. He checked once, twice, verified with the shippers that the engine would indeed get the races ... But the evil powers of Thorvald's Law overcame the counter measures MotoGreg instilled. While waiting on the plane, MotoGreg was called up front to speak with the airline crew. There was a problem. The airline suddenly decided they didn't want this hunk of metal in the cargo bay. Another victim of Thorvald's law. It's not that they couldn't send it, they just didn't want to. What to do...
