Interesting exercise, but for the money tied up in that re-build, I'd have just bought an adventure bike to begin with.

The service truck is on hold due primarily to procrastination. I have the body basically assembled, the next step is filling...

Do NOT go truck shopping. I'll be driving the '13 Tundra until the wheels fall off...

The old Seneca Falls just went down the road. Some feller drove 3 hours from Augusta getting here after 6PM to grab it. The cash from...

So, I contacted McMaster and asked about returning the reamer. They said "Don't bother. We'll credit your card and send you the right...
