I'm gonna need my beauty rest, so I'll roll out of my place around 930-10. I guess that puts me at your place 5 mins after I leave. Like I mentioned earlier, I'll put my craftsman lift and some tools in the truck and bring it over first then come get my bike. Let me know if you need me to bring anything else. capn Hold my beer......

I'm pretty sure the smallest hose clamps you can get are gonna be fine. 1/2"? Maybe 3/4"? Make sure to get SS. I like real coke and water too please! Lots of water.

If anything, I predict isolated raindrops that might skip us all together. I figure it's only about 15 miles of actual riding for me to get there, and if it sucks, I don't have to go on the afternoon ride Benny Black & Silver '02 Too many mods to list Not enough miles ridden
