Every day we get more confident and take the old family 55 on longer trips. Well, the fuel tank is still a beat up 5 gallon galvanized gas can with pickup and return lines soldered into the pour spout. We did ok for a while but not enough capacity. We ran out just before the gas station. Fortunately my wife's son was on his way home from a logging operation and he had a couple gallons of chainsaw mix in his truck. After that we stopped at the old resort for a drink and had a balmy drive home. No, we don't do rack crawling, but in 1967 I rode in Cliuff Dickson's new fj 45 and I was hooked. This $#!+ gets deep into a man's brain. No practical explanation I ever found....
