2019 Cruiser Carousal - June 29, 2019 (1 Viewer)

You all have room for one more rig (2 adults for sure, maybe a 3rd)? We would roll up Saturday for lunch and run the trails.

You bet! There is always room for more. We always manage to have more than enough food. The more the merrier, and we look forward to meeting you!

Things are not looking to good for me, I hit a massive pot hole at a high rate of speed and broke a front spring in the GX470 and the FJ40 has not made it out of the driveway yet. I have faith in it, but not without some test drives first. Work and poor weather has certainly hindered progress in that department.

I can confirm I will be there Saturday around lunch. I will be running solo.

 

[Ocho77]

Meat is on the smoker.

I will sit and sip bourbon til all you clowns show up. (Not really, we are still cleaning and setting up, but that sounds more fun).

Bummer. Hope you can make it!

I for sure have three;Joshua, Cara’s dad Chuck and me.
Not sure yet if I can convince Cara to come...

If anyone wants to caravan, We are meeting Chuck at the Peppermill Grill for breakfast on M45 across from Meijer in Standale at 8:30.

Looking forward to it!

Made an attempt to get the 40 up there, made it from South Bend to Cassopolis and decided there was no way I would make the haul and back. 45mph and out of balance tires were going to make for one long day. Have fun and be safe!

So aside from the 100 casualty, it was an awesome day!

Last year we didn’t the pics and video people took combined to share. How can we do that better this year?

 

[Ocho77]

Post them here is my preference, so anyone can view them. If not, I can set up a google drive.

 

[69LC]

Ok. Sounds good!

We tried. I spent the past few days trying to finish up the routing the vacuum lines post desmog but just couldn't figure it out. Thursday I took the 40 to Garfield Auto in T.C. and Pat one of the mechanics spent the day sorting everything out and finished up Friday morning. I brought the 40 home and we discussed driving down not knowing how correct everything would be and not wanting to be disappointed with another setback. So we spent today driving around the area putting on some miles but not going far from home. It was the first time my wife rode in the 40 and it didn't breakdown, happy wife/happy husband. I think we're now beyond the craziness with trying to complete a desmog previously started plus a mixture of carburation problem all thrown together. ed

Having your wife excited about it makes it a lot better!

Once I have my wife’s 80 going again and proven, maybe we will have to take a trip up to TC to meet you and have some dinner somewhere.

I won’t promise the 80 will be very great looking then. That will take a bit more work.

We missed you KBahus! Hopefully before next year we’ll meet up again. Thanks again or hosting Ocho

Nice looking 40! We missed you on Saturday... I was joking about TRD loaner. Probably best you didn’t ride with me this year... the 100 didn’t make it.

What happened to the 100?

Hopefully @MichLC has some pics.
