Okay, guys thanks for all the volunteers! We'll see what works for Glenn and what the date ends up being. Then we'll go from there. We'll take it as it comes and see who the dates work out for.

Glenn, the ball is in your court, my friend. Let me know what date(s) work for you and we'll get it all lined up. Text or call me if that's easier for you. I'll be in a meeting for a while this evening, but I should be available after 7.

If this deal goes down the first part of Sept., I may just try to make it. Brings back memories of the trip to Todd's! LOL! That was a good time!

WOW, I went ane kicked *** today and got three pages behind. Nate threw the ball to me and I talked it over with my wife. Looks like Sep 12th will work for us but no later. We are usually in Omaha seeing the grand kids by then or in SD. I think once we stayed that late and saw the color in the UP of Mi. If that weekend blows up then it will have to be a weekend before that or I'll figure something else out. I'm still blown away by all of the guys who say they will show up! Your going to have a gang at your place Nate, your wife must be very easy going, LOL. What my wife and I are thinking is that we can get some stuff done between now and then and leave for the west from Nate's place.


Thanks guys, this is to much! I have this funny feeling with every body helping and me being a very slow mechcanic I'll be holding the flash light but that's cool. I'm all for learning how professionals do it. LOL How does the new thread title "Nate's RROhio" or something like that sound?

Thanks, Clay the well wishes are appreciated.

Alright guys, this is getting big enough I'm starting a thread for it. Here is the link.

I'll do my best to keep things organized. Glenn, feel free to ship anything you need to have shipped to my address. I'll text it to you so you have it handy.

WaaaaHOOOO!

Had to jump back in this thread to express my excited-ness for all things brotherhood!
Y'all are great!

I didn't want to muck up the actual thread too much. lol

I think if anything ever happened to me on the road I would post up to FTE before I would think of calling a tow company. lol

This is awesome. Again, super jealous of you guys being close enough to make this happen.

I didn't want to get in the way of the planning, so now that it's moved:

I'm going to have to do a little massaging on them still. The passenger side isn't sitting right and the holding tabs on the parking lights wouldnt fit. I'll have to trim those down to get the new ones on.

They're not aimed worth a damn but the light output is much better. It's a much cleaner light.

Just for fun. I dont think I showed you guys this:

Its a cool rig. Belongs to a close friend of mine. We're working on getting gauges and a hydra on it this next week. Took forever to get tunes. Guess it's some weird programming that nobody has ever written for before...
