May Day! Good times are here! So is the weather? BS Thread

Good morning everyone! I'm driving to Escanaba in da moonlight. Got a kitchen hood inspection in Petoskey on the way up at Big Boy. Looks like a nice day for a drive.

That's not cheap Brandon. After replacing 2 Yuasas with a third one, I bought a Techmate Optima 3 charger / desulfator. Hopefully it slows down my replacement schedule.

yeah they replaced the first one, no questions asked, even upped it to the next size.. but i've only ridden the thing twice and it has died already. reading online it doesn't sound like this new company has a great track record thus far. too bad, because (in theory) the battery is awesome. doesn't lose charge when sitting and weighs less than a pound.

For all those playing along at home, I started a GTG thread. Get involved and lets see if we can get a good turn out. Location to be determined still, date is looking like the 9th of June.

Good morning everyone. Hope everyone is able to enjoy the nice weather were getting. I finally got my motor back for the Bronco. So I'll be working on her all weekend. Looking forward to topless summer nights.

Cool Gerry - see you at the watering hole! About 6-7 hours? I can't be held responsible if Andrew and I are wasted by the time you get there...
