Just talked to Jimbo at BCS performance, they have a few parts for me but they want to look at the bike first so we can figure out what we need.
If the individual parts are too expensive, my friend at Muff's motorsports said he'll sell me a whole frame for $800 (instead of $1500) and he said if i couldnt afford it all at once he'd take payments or just have me work it off at the shop wrenching on bikes.
Neatv is by far the best racing series, i wrecked my quad yesterday and last night i already had a new set of rims and tires dropped off for free to start fixing the quad

I took a swing down through there around 2:30 yesterday to make sure nothing was out of order.

Ok I was at the sub base for a delivery last night. While the security and a MP was searching the truck a bugle tune was played over the pa. When this happened the MP and the three security guards stood at attention and didn't make a sound. At first I was mid conversation and I stopped out of respect but confused partially because the time was 7:24. Since I sit behind the clock for hours it buggs me to no end if the time is wrong, so I know the time was right. After the tune was over I asked the MP what that was. He called it "Colors" and said the whole base stops even cars driving when it's played. I commented on the odd time and he didn't think it was odd as the "Colors" was played at all odd times. He never explained what "Colors" was but it was obvious he was a fresh face to the base, so maybe he didn't think it needed an explanation. Okay what is "Colors"?

Not many other blue over gray SRW trucks with flatbeds on em running around this area anyways. We've had some goofy stuff happen with equipment down there so I swing through whenever I can. Someone moved one of our excavators from our pit to the sandy clearing up the road on the other side of the street, someone started our dozer and left it running, and someone stole all the batteries out of our equipment there once as well. I just like doing quick checks to make sure everything looks alright. If you see anything that looks out of place down there while you're there give me a call I'd appreciate it.

Thanks. And as always if someone harasses you about being there play stupid and say you're looking for me.
Miles: I'm pretty sure the excavator moving and the stolen batteries were my father's brother but I can't prove it so I don't say it usually.

Justin,
" 'To the Color' is a bugle call to render honors to the nation. It is used when no band is available to render honors, or in ceremonies requiring honors to the nation more than once. To the Color commands all the same courtesies as the National Anthem."
