It sure is nice to log into the Evo forum. Looks like you guys are meeting in East Texas, wish I could make it. Oprah got a lot of upgrades last year and I logged less than 500-miles in 2014, life gets in the way of fun. Working like a dog and when I am home working on the boys wrecked truck.

WP50, see you posting an am certain we will meet up some day.

Let's see if I can remember.

Pulled the front end off to check the neck bearings, all was good, greased and adjusted swing. New progressive springs, seals and oil in the forks. Progressive tour link, new ignition, Cobra true duals and rinehart slipons, added the Thunder monster baffle ting thingy for more back pressure. Brass inlet fitting on the carb. New tires and rear brake pads. Bleed brakes and paid a lot for the DOT 5 fluid. New starter clutch. Seem like I am missing something, adding Progressive rear shocks soon. Need to fix the tach, quit workng, and the fuel gauge, not sure why, but will anyway.

Yea If it's on there I want it working.
Sounds like some real nice upgrades.

Can't remember if I mentioned I left Berg last July.

I went to an independent alignment shop called The Alignment Shop not far from Berg. Me and one other mechanic and the owner. So far it's been Great.

Yup the oil field is at it again, price of gas down so is the field. Lots of rigs stacked. Lots of folks laid off.
Steady flow of work for me so far,seems what vehicles people have are fixing them rather than trading them.
