Trip Home From East Central Oklahoma

[Welder Sam]

Today i have purchased my 2nd deuce. Its ugly but runs like a scalded cat. Ive got nearly everything that i could think of, short of items available easily. So tomorrow, ill begin my 350 mile trip home. So yall please keep us in your prayers for a safe and uneventful trip. This time of year is really pretty.

theyre coming tomorrow. Monday at the lastest. Im sure my wife will want to break in her new camera.

Murpy left WM and has been dogging my heels since yesterday

 

[Welder Sam]

Thanks yall! Tj, no worries bro.

ITS HOME!!! Just shut it down. Got a pin hole in the the top radiator tank. Its in a dent. Could be weak right there frm internal rot but... its ok for now.

It doesnt sound near as good as the 109 but it goes just as good and faster. The 109 makes it look tiny. Oh.... and.... it sure is an ugly bastard!

Pics tomorrow, maybe tuesday. Wife works tomorrow. My ass hurts. Tj, i like the box seat better too. Now to find somebody to swap the spring seat with!!

 

[ARYankee]

Well where are the pictures????? I told you that the box seat was far better. I just like having that secure feeling under my butt plus it doesn't throw you around as much

 

[Welder Sam]

sorry buddy. amy is working. i have one on myphone that i can send ya. got me a new radiator coming. speedometer quit on me about 50 miles into the trip. got a new one ready. basically all of the gauges are crap. oh and!!! i have my first flat. seems as tho i ran over a screw as i parked it lastnight. need 2 screws for the panel lights. i hate to rob the 109 just yet....... hope my robo impact will come in soon.
