Damn, I hope they cover that under the warranty. So will there be any minutes from the meeting posted, or just some cliff notes.

On another note there was a local gathering in town, and you would be proud that I won the AXE trowing contest. Beginners luck if you ask me.

Cliff Notes:

We met at Sourdough.
Travis was nominated interim El Presidante.
Travis announced that he will run his Presidency like Nixon.
Garret, Gabe, and Travis (and Tyler) spoke with Jeff Bohmke about this year and next year's McGrew run.
This year there will be a semi-official Friday run that Garret will lead.
This year is a transition year between Tony/Jeff running McGrew and JSC taking it over.
Next year will be the 10th Annual McGrew TLCA run, and JSC will be running it.

I'm jealous... well not of that stick in my tire, bum deal Ebag..

Stopped in at the truck/bike show-pretty weak showing of 4x4's unless I got there too late but seemed like a neat event. Maybe next year we ought to make an appearance as a club? I thought they should get the military collector guys there as well..

retrofive · 06-27-09, 10:31 PM

We swung by on our way back to the show, but were a little late. Pretty much was packed up.

And how could I forget. The Only Person to Take Body Damage Award goes to.......

*drumroll*

Congrats Tyler!

(Yeah. I may have blown the sidewall on a $175 tire....but that's a $600 dent right there!

)

And for more pics, here's the rest of my album.

LOL

..... and I managed to break my wipers 2.........

TOY350 · 06-27-09, 11:19 PM

Travis got a new pinstripe that should be noted.

It's not Bob Bancroft but Jeff Bohmke, close but different.

Jeff, Bob.....potato, potahtoe.

(Guess I'm a bit tired, I would have known that was wrong had I thought about it....)

retrofive · 06-28-09, 11:45 AM

Smashed in my cat shield as well LOL......

Fly Rod · 06-28-09, 01:09 PM

I got dirty, does that count?

Gabe, are you keeping my trail spare? If you do it better be there when I need it!

TOY350 · 06-28-09, 01:14 PM

Fly Rod also ran some clean lines and came out without the dents! Nice job Steve

And ditto that trail spare thing

retrofive · 06-28-09, 01:21 PM

I'm ordering new bolts from Mr. Cdan, so if you want your crappy NAPA bolt you can have it back.

Seriously though, you saved me a lot of grief.

It pays to be a pack rat!

Enough time in Mexico or on the farm and you realize that every part may have a second life. I am glad I had it for you. Throw it in your trail spare kit for the next guy.

That picture of Gabes tire needs to be posted in the 80 section!

tblume · 06-28-09, 07:21 PM

looks like you guys had fun, I was trying to fix my 'cranknostart' problem, turns out it was this :

not the pump.

retrofive · 06-28-09, 08:08 PM

Ouch! Tim. Looks like 4:20.

knoll0351 · 06-28-09, 10:34 PM

but it was 6:21

that connector may, very well, be melted down because of the pump.
dont put that one back in if you already have a new one, at least not without a rigorous test.

RredFJ40 · 06-29-09, 12:35 PM

No pics yet but all I ended up with was a small dent near the gas door from a tree and a couple of dents in my skidplate, one about fist-sized. I need a stronger skidplate.

Nice to see y'all again and next time I'll be sure to have a full co2 tank! Thanks again Travis! Oh yeah - don't rely on the OBrien store compressor, it wouldn't get past 25psi.

TOY350 · 06-29-09, 01:08 PM

Thanks for coming out Joel, it was nice seeing you and the family.

knoll0351 · 06-29-09, 04:56 PM

Yeah I think the last time I was there it was lacking in pressure....but I guess 25 is better than 15

I'll be filling up before club runs again from now on. This was the first time it bit me...better to spend a little cash too early than to run out when in need...

Kief · 06-29-09, 05:09 PM

Hey Joel, thanks for the extra fuel tank, its what I always wanted! Ok, so it what cruiserguy's always wanted. Sorry I missed ya..

too late.

couple tanks through the thing this weekend, I searched around the big page and there were so many differences of opinion that I took a shot. first bench test proved to be no problem. first road test also no problem. it will sit till I can get the plug/bracket from CDan in the morning, of course the pigtail is rivited to the bracket, so you can't just get that by itself. or maybe you can, I am going to post over there and see what comes up.

and the DOT says no 16:20 for you!

or I would have

retrofive · 07-02-09, 03:33 PM

So found a little more damage

managed to smack my speedo job in on the tranny..... dripping now. :( o-ring on order.

You're welcome! I'm just the courier so you'll have to duke it out with him. Just remember his ankle will probably still be sore, get an edge where you can!

Hey, it's getting better, not there yet but at least I don't need to hobble around on crutches anymore.

I found that the compressor at the store last year took forever to air up after the McGrew Run.

Kief, we'll see you towards the end of the month. Maybe we can have a fuel tank swapping party!
