damn i want to go to this. didn't hear about it until the other day would be a legit way to put some miles on my new build for sure.
 
In arkasas grabbing a bite. Should be in Michigan early tomorrow morning. Got some carb issues I'm hoping we can sort out before the Saturday ride, but we're committed now!
 
It's gonna be down to the wire, but I'm pretty sure I'll be up and running by this weekend...

That's the coolest fuckin beer holder i've seen yet.
 
Buildoff bike is giving us fits. Ran perfect Monday, then Tuesday it would idle real well, buy after riding for a few minutes, it would fall flat on its face and try to die when giving it throttle. Wednesday we made the drive from Texas up to my mother-in-law's in Michigan. Got here thursday morning, napped, and worked on it all afternoon, and now it won't even start this morning. We're about to head down to Defiance (a little over 2 hours away). I'm hoping one of y'all who knows what the hell you're doing might be willing to help is out, cuz we're out of tricks.
 
I'm about an hour out and gas tank decided to crack... Trying to fix with jb weld now anyone know if there's a welder anywhere near the event I can fix it right with for my 4 hour haul home tomorrow?

Just wanted to say that I had a blast. Everyone who participated in, sponsored, and showed up for this event were class acts. We will definitely be back next year... might even bring a running bike this time :). Thanks for all the support, encouragement and technical assistance... And congrats to the "Cash" bike who won the buildoff!
