Forthcoming Pilgrimage

[zeeker1]

Good for you, big boy, I'm tickled the deal worked out for you.

I'm pretty stoked about it, but maybe not as much as motoman is about the suspension 110 frame. He told me to call him after I got home when I was leaving Nashville, and he had called 3 or 4 time before I even got around the capital beltway in DC! LOL The Nicholson will need some love and who knows what for the engine. So it will be a bit of a project.

Shoot! You should have came on down another hour or two and hung out with me! I don't know how the hell I missed this thread before this, I PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS BROTHER VEAL!

Thank you for the hospitality thought, but after driving for all that time yesterday, I wasn't my usual congenial self! LOL Actually I was on good behavior, but all that driving was a drag. It just freaks me out, when I see people down south move over for police and other vehicles along side the road or people move over to let others merge onto the highway. Up here, people would aim for the cops alongside the road. No lie. I didn't get a chance to go to a Nashville walmart though, that may have been entertaining. I just laugh and laugh when I see the website, the people of walmart. And when I see some of the "men" wearing dresses and heels into walmart! LOL

Veal if you would have came to my house you would of seen the red neck walmart you were in the big city haha

Well, the big triker in the sky is washing away the sins of the road and previous owners! LOL It's been raining here off an on all day. I awoke this morning to thunder and lightning. I drove through rain in southern VA yesterday afternoon and I guess it finally made it over the mountain. The cops like it when it rains 'cause it helps keep the crime rate down!

Here are some pics taken during a dry spell.

[trizilla]

its about time!lol

[Vealmonkey]

Give me a break, I don't have one of those underwater cameras! LOL Where are you stashing the xr500 engine up there Eric? I know you've got connections. Fess up.

[fabiodriven]

That thing is sweet Veal. Good luck with 'er.

[Vealmonkey]

Don't just stand there and point a finger at me, get down here and turn a wrench! I've got to get some steering stem bearings and find my atc250r front end parts. Plus trying to get the kicker parts off ebay so I can see if I have spark or if the engine is locked up. Maybe I should get it off the truck, pull a plug out and see if it will roll in 1st gear? And I have my shop manual on it's way too! LOL

[fabiodriven]

Load it up with oil first. (Like you didn't know)

[motoman1012002]

I cant wait to see the first gen R front end on there

[Vealmonkey]

Moto, Don't be posting in my thread unless you have your pics up and posted!!! LOL Fabio, oil is the least of my problems right now, but don't let me forget! LOL I don't have all the parts for a complete front end, so I just went on ebay and bought some used triples and the front hub and steering stem bearings. My axle is up in PA on another hub, so I may have to buy an axle as well. But I have a front headlight set up? I must not have found the bargains for the other bits, but I'm getting them now. LOL
