4th of July

The neighborhood did a little 4th of July parade. A couple of firetrucks, a slew a kids on bikes and scooters, my rig full of girls. It was like Girls Gone Wild, except they all kept their clothes on and they're all under 10 . The only one I own is sitting in my lap.



Hope everone has a happy and safe 4th.

Very cool. I sure wish it was sunny here and I'd take mine out to the Parade.

Headers melted more plug wires. I may need to get the gas tank boiled at some point too.

Re: 4th of July

That sucks, not sure if you know, but they make little covers for them to cover up the part that is near the header.

Helps loosen up any crud inside the tank to help get it all clean. If the tank is solid, you've basically got a new tank when done. It's more of a chemical "bath".

Very nice, I'm wrenching on mine right now. I was sold the wrong water pump, so i'm putting the correct one on right now. I hope to fire it up tomorrow. Later, Mario.
