Here's a few pictures I took. Got wrapped up BS'n once I got the video camera out, so this is all of the "Hard Copy Pictures".. Some show Brett working on his Gen II. Just a glimpse of the thousands of hours he's spent working and testing to get his Max into the 9's and looking so Goooooood.

I'll do the Video's later, gotta upload, edit and make them worthy of posting here.

My thanks to all who were there. Didn't even have the chance to say Hi to Christine. She was busy working with her friends and I didn't want to interrupt.

I've spent the past 5 + months mostly wondering if I'd be waking up the next morning. One problem after another. Thought the Doctor was going to stick me in the hospital last Thursday. It didn't come to that or I'd have refused, period. I was determined to make this Tech Day and ride My 89... You who were there proved to me how great our Tech Days are. I actually ate real food for the first time in weeks. My brain stayed off my problems and I had the best day I've had in a long time. My Thanks to everyone. Thank You Kyle and Christine..... Big Time. Kyle's talking a ride next get together. If It's not way out of my riding range and I'm still breathing, I'll be there....

Pic 1: SkullDuggery, Christine's Max, Kyle's Max, Jerry's Gen II.

Pic 2: Earl's FZ1 and My Friend Gary's Dodge...:confused2:

If I didn't have 4 bikes it'd be so sold....... My friend Earl walking, trying
to get out of the 4th pic...

Pic 6: 3 Gen I's. Kyle's new R1 Tail Section.:clapping:Jerry, side view....

Kyle can lock-up & leave if he wants to, in a restaurant, unless you have hired people, you can't just leave. To get a taste of what the business would be like, he could accept orders as a "dry-rub ribs specialist!" Catering like that allows you to accept only the work you can do. I think he enjoys the mechanics more than he would the grind of restaurant work.

I was all-set to embark on my way to blast my rebuilt engine and then paint it, yesterday for my own individual 'tech day,' when my wife called me to ask me to respond to her dad's home in Miami FL. A kitten had become trapped behind the gas fireplace. I had to use my Sawzall to cut through the mantlepiece to access the void where the kitten was trapped. We think it got under the house in the crawlspace and went up a pipe chase to become trapped. Evidently it had been in there for a couple of days, crying and crying. I bought a Harbor Freight fiber-optic flexible examination camera to locate its position before I demo'ed the fireplace. So that killed my chances for the mcy work! Maybe next weekend...

I'm gonna get over there for one of these days. Dave, i am glad you are feeling well-enough to make it over there, glad you got to spend some time on the bike, hang w/Kyle, and meet some new people.

:punk: Some thing's are just more important than a block of aluminum on wheels! :punk:

"Ninjaneer," those are some gaudy motorcycle riding boots!:rofl_200:

Thanks for the comment. It was a disappointment to not get to work on my bike, but my elderly father-in-law and my wife are happy, so that takes the place of contentment with "aluminum on wheels," as you said. It built-up a lot of goodwill. Maybe she won't complain too-much about this houseguest, who shows-up from time -to-time:

It was just another Vmax Super Hero. Some guy named Brett....:rofl_200::clapping:

I called Wes at Cycle Rama and I'm working on a Dyno Run to put the SkullDuggery
Mystery to rest, One Way or Another... Wish Me Luck... Earl says she's unreasonably
fast, that he ends up watching me run off from his FZ1. Well, we're gonna see if it's
HP and Torque or that his FZ needs a serious Tune....
 
I can't wait to get together again... Always a Great Time.
More around the country should take Kyle's lead and have Tech Days...


I've got a Dyno Thread up for SkullDuggery and a thread with some pictures of the New Look I've achieved on
her with the help of some Cool Parts from PATMAX, CaptainKyle and SeaTownVmax.....:clapping::clapping::clapping:
