    Got a new piece of equipment coming to the welding shop. I just ordered a 5x10 plasma CNC table. I’ve been wanting one for years and finally got the approval from the spousal unit to pull the trigger. It should be here in 4-5 weeks. Looking forward to making all kinds of cool stuff now! Might even have to fab up some hard parts for bikes....

    Darn, I think I gave away all the stainless steel pieces I had previously salvaged, or I could give you some material to practice with trying to fab a better bash plate than OEM on The KTM 790R.

    He said AutoZone would call when your new Turbo Diesel for the Subaru was ready for pick up. [:0)

    Thank you Mikey for taking me to pick-up the new wheels. It felt great to get back out on a set of 2 wheels. Just evidence that I am getting older, I don't want to load and unload the new bike from the back of the truck. Along the same lines I chose a lighter bike so it will be easier, not easy but easier to pick-up when I drop it in the driveway. This getting older ain't for the weak of heart or back.

    Sorry to all you NWA folks, that most likely means we will lose most of this nice weather for 2 weeks to a month. If we get a nice day on a Tuesday Thursday Saturday or Sunday give me a call to go for a ride. We need to ride over and figure out where AKmuds place is at. I think I have spotted it from the AR59 side up on the ridge but have not figured how to find the drive from the other side of the ridgeline.

    Sorry, the ride made me feel good so I maybe a bit chatty this week.

    Doc, we need to get you out on a ride

    We will have to go for a ride soon, but that means you'll have to keep up with The Best Bike in The World. Might be tough.

    I think it is still showing damage from Zombie Fest four months ago. He’s got the 501 as a backup.

    Don't start bashing on Missippi now, you'll anger the locals.

    I got home yesterday to find out some pervert on a shiny new KTM had been hanging out with my wife and kids. Wish I had seen you Kris. BEAUTIFUL bike! If I ever get my mom settled in and things slow down I'd love to go on a little ride.

    However, for real adventure riding, take a chiva over the same roads for 4 hours...
