The sharpy mark is were she always rides. A way to keep an eye on it.. Over all, I know it could use more. But As long as the level stays right there. There is enough in there. Never changed.

Wow. Just noticed i need to work on my battery cables connections. They look a bit junky.

Thats too cool Dan and Joe. It does drive a lot better with it being clean. Last year when I had my CPS recall done, they had all the shop guys around my truck looking at how clean it was and asked me about the 6637. lol.

I always liked the white trucks.. Joe has a hot looking truck there.

Edit. Like those door window sun shades. but can't seem to find them around here that fit.. I bought two sets. Took them both back. they didn't fit.
one of these days i will shop around again..

Under hood looks great Dan, but if you ever have to pull the spider use a coarse wire wheel on your drill to shine it up. Finish by feathering it out with a finer wire wheel. The results are surprising.

Boy that spider looks clean. I will have to do that when i change my boots some day.. Thanks for the tip. I did scrub mine clean. Looks ok. but not like yours.

Wow tom. That is a beauty for sure.. I also like the single/double stacks on dually's.

I have many hours on that Honda . It is a wheely machine as you can tell by the rear fender. it has a 150pound max on the sticker. And that was me so i was on it.. Takes a beatin and keeps on running. heading to a friend for his kid. I don't use it anymore. I weigh 170 now. To heavy for it. lol.

I also have many hours riding my mini trail.

Do you still have the 2pc tool kit behind the side cover ?

Did you ever take the baffle out to make it sound like a Honda 70 trail ride.

Seeing that pic brought back a lot of good childhood memories.
