One of the things I like the most about driving these old clunkers is exactly that, making some senior's day when I go rolling by. Glad you are enjoying yourself, sometimes all it takes is a little shift from the ordinary to change your entire outlook man! Have fun, the Poncho will be there when you get back
Glad you're happy bro!! Life's way too short to be miserable and pissed off everyday!! Later homie!! Ian
Good to hear you're still around. My last relationship (2 1/2 years worth) fell apart too, so I'm taking a break from dating and trying to get back to work on my projects as well. Things eventually work out with time.
I knew there was a woman involved. Flop was nuturing his new relationship! good for you man, if your not happy outside the garage you cant be productive inside! keep it up man and wish I could make the roundup, but not going to happen. JC
Sweet! Another east coaster headed to Texas! I'll be down there too. We are riding down with the guys from THEM! from Dallas. Can;t wait to finally meet ya, sucks we have to both fly half way across the country though, lol.
flying!!! you fancy motherfucker we are driving..putting the bike in the baack of the pickup and headin south!!! thanks for all the support guys!!!!
Nice!!!!! Obviously your girl is little less high maintenance than mine, lol. Should be a great time!
Sounds like you have a better deal all the way around. Lone Star Roundup sounds like a blast. Hope you have a good time.

About time dude, I've been checking this thread daily looking for updates. Can't wait to see it done.
...shoot Flop, it's hard to take my eyes off how well you did the trunk, and the perfect gap around it!!!
Cool to see you back into it again, i've been watchin for updates but you seem to have been a bit "distracted" lately
Im so excited Flop is back at it, but the ironic part is now Im leaving for two weeks with no internet, darn the luck. well man I can't wait to get back home and see what you've done in two weeks!
