Hope you get a chance to get out. I swear the only place in the county with snow is my yard ,and it isn't much.

I am having issues with my skid at the moment. Put the new track on, put the skid back in and the track is so tight I can't rotate it by hand, and it hardly turns with the secondary.

It should definitely turn relatively easy by hand Mike. That is odd. Maybe you need to bring yours with Saturday...

Sounds like you need to convince Mike and Tom to come out to Montana in March and join them.

Well Chris I don't have a lot of faith it will last long so like to have one ready to go, as long as the engine doesn't get toasted.

Yeah, I know it should. It did before the new track. Something is messed up but I'm not sure what yet.

Maybe, wonder if it will fit in the back of our van then in Tom's Flex with everyone in there. Could always strap it to the roof.................

Well, brake line is in, van is put back together and ready to roll. Kind of a pain, had to remove the lines from the MC to get the new one in there where it belonged, too many bends in it.

That was quite a brake job, it only took 5 days.................
