I sprayed over the "happy face" on the sides and hit some of the rust so she's a little more comfortable with it in front of the house.[thumbzup] Went to change the air filter today and it was new. Cool. Swapping tires from the trailer to the Deuce and getting that one with the bolt in it...

Country Boy Air Conditioning So, on the Riley recovery, it got pretty hot driving across West OK and North TX, then an idea hit me. I had a water bottle helping hold the driver's window open on my Deuce and figured if I put a full one there/loosened the cap a bit, the wind would blow a...

So, the day after. Went out and discovered, she's let her hair down now. Had a bit of an antifreeze leak coming out from around the overflow connection near the cap. Best case, weak cap or maybe sticky thermostat. That'd explain the high temps coming through TX. (temps were back to 160-180...

Almost forgot. If any of you guys ever get to Salina, you'll miss an opportunity to meet a really great guy if you don't drop by and shake Glen's hand. He really went out of his way to help us and stay in touch with us the whole trip back. He's definitely a credit to the hobby and it was a...

So now the plan was to drive it to Salina, about an hour and anything significant would likely show up on the way. Glen had the massive Deuce towbar and offered to tow me to his place if necessary so after stopping for a fuel top off, we pressed on. A few minutes into the trip, we hit a...

The gov't liq lady (who was awesome - Rebecca) left us to do our trailer loading finish up and went to let Glen in the yard and we started the truck recovery. She was a bit sad looking. dirty, doors flopping, front tire flat (though new) and the rest were new Titans (all the tires on the...

Ahhhh, so now I finally have some time to post pics. Glen did a far better job telling the story than I did and was gracious enough to even add Youtube links to videos. My kids think it's "so cool, Dad's on Youtube".:roll: Being it is so close to the end of school and Zac's done great again...

BAM! Made it home in one piece and I have to say, that truck ran great the whole way!:jumpin: 658 miles from Ft Riley to Clovis, NM problem free (almost). Pictures and story uploaded tomorrow (Sat). Gotta visit with the fam and my 6 year old and 10 year old are climbing all over it right...

Thanks all for the info/help offers. Good to know the realestate layout will work for at least bleeding the brakes. [thumbzup]

Going up a week from tomorrow (Thurs 5 May) to recover the 109 and two 105s! GL says they don't allow any fluid work so I'll have to drive it off post and bleed the brakes/change the filters. Got all the tools, my homemade brake bleeder, filters, belts, a few spare bulbs (still need spare...

I just need the bed, springs, etc to facilitate the bob. I liked the idea of having two extra wheels and tires, lights etc. Is all you need the frame itself? BTW, I just found out the second EUC cleared for the two M105s today (12 days+-) Probably head out next week if the GL folks...

How come this thread doesn't show up on the Deuce forum ? It shows in the "last post" column but not on the left main column so I have to go search for it everytime I post something. Yeah, I know it's a nube question, but I had to ask.:cookoo:

Clovis. On the west Tx border. Two hours from ANYWHERE! It's not in the middle of nowhere, but you can see it from here.....who am I kidding, it IS in the middle of nowhere.........at least it's quiet ; )

Thanks Glen, Shot you a PM.

BAM! First ever EUC cleared in 14 days from Battle Creek submission to approval! Am I lucky or what?!:jumpin: Hopefully the two M105 EUCs at the same place will clear next week and I can pick it all up at once. Roadtrip! Oh yes, there'll be photos. Local Napa has all the filters and...

Thanks for all the good news and support. I'll cut my teeth on this one so we'll see (wife's not real happy about it). Hopefully it's in good enough shape to help her get motivated with me..........

FINALLY! I've got a deuce. Or at least supposed to when my EUC clears. Getting NO info from GL rep at the site so I pretty much rolled the dice. What's the worst that could happen?! If anybody's picking up there in the next few weeks, I'd be greatly appreciative if they could give her a look...
