Nice install, HDU

Went to a local bone yard and removed a ladder from a Dodge camper van (cost me $5.00). I had to cut it down and relocate the top mounts to fit the Vanagon's rear hatch. This should make cleaning bird poop off of the solar panels a little easier




While on the subject of poop ... I checked out the new Porta-Potty UPS delivered today. For those of you with inquiring minds,
NO, I HAVE NOT USED IT YET :tongue:

My driver's side front tire tread separated today :blink: ... hope the spare is OK - I don't want to buy any 14" replacement tires, especially since I just got an email from the guy with the CLK wheels I want.

They're ready to ship, but I don't think they'll get here in time to have new tires installed before the trip. :headbang




EDIT:

The spare looks OK, but the right front has seen better days as well. I checked several local tire shops, and nobody has the Yokohama Y356 LT195/75R14 tires in stock. Most said the can't contact their suppliers until Monday and they'd be 3 days out. Found a shop in Santa Monica that said they'll have two for me on Monday.

So, here it is, Monday, I get a phone call - my tires are in, and I start up the 405 to Santa Monica. About 1/3 of the way up - BOOM ... front left blew out. Lost one of my new hubcaps and ripped my new mud flap :blink:



Luckily I had a spare, but couldn't get the fucking lug bolts out

About 10 minutes later, a road-side assistance tow truck pulls up and we get the tire changed withing a few minutes. Got up to the tire store and got the 2 new tires ... will mount and balance them Tuesday night




Also got my old CT-70 running (after sitting in my shed for 12 years). Decided to clean it up and painted some parts that were starting to rust. Tuned it up and cruised the alleys in my neighborhood tonight. It's running great




Hoping HZD gets his new CT-70 completed (this pic was from last week). Not bad, considering it started out as a partial basket case we dug out of the back of my shop




Bring your Mini too, BRY

MINI!?

I'm bringing my .50cal it's about as evil as my cr500.

 

[KF6IRK]

Are you bringing the CR? I'm leaving the 'killer XT-200' at home this trip :laugh:

I guess if I need to ride a real bike, maybe I can hop on one of Daryl's

We'll see you and GEV later in the day ...
