Re: PO has me PO'd
This one shows it a little better, but still not the full incline
 The approach from the left, all the weight shifting to the top outside, locking the front, brakes locked on the rear,with a blip of the throttle to get it pointed north and south again. Seeing nothing but sky, and your cheeks sucked to the seat

Re: PO has me PO'd
Good memories, nothing like drinking beer around the campfire and hanging out with motorheads. Can't deny the white knuckles, tough when you have no control of the situation

Re: PO has me PO'd
The first pic is the present I've been waiting 15-20 years for, we've always practiced catch and release. Well, I just had to keep one...17lb 30in. Steelhead, not my biggest one but it represents what I do for down time
From Santa Claus to Jim...Accel HEI dist., Electric fan and shroud Family...M&H engine wiring harness, Retosound AM/FM w/flash drive and MP3, whatever they are? And I got the pcs from McMaster-Carr,1" thin wall alum., 1/2" NPT female weldable bung from Speedway Motors to finish up my EWP outlet
