I've got a lot of picks of the place that I will have to sort through to find some that show the camping area, and facilities. I know that I don't have any decent ones of the trails though (I never can manage to take a decent photo while driving, forget the camera, or something). I will post...
Honestly, we are going to have to charge "something"... It's one of those things that I will have to figure out with Mike and the folks... I can say that it will not be much, and that we are planning on having food, shirts, etc. Part of it will all come down to how much we want to do as a...
Buggyman: Yes, my Godparent's are Jim and Rachel Graves... :) If you have attending the festivals, then we likely have run into each other: I am the guy who runs the showers/concession stand in the camping are for the Bluegrass Festival (always have a Mv parked nearby, this past year my...
Actually, we are north of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Parkway near us is Skyline Drive
Blue Ridge Parkway ends at the southern end of Skyline Drive where they all come together at I64 near Afton.
More info on Skyline Drive is at...
There are some great two lane roads in the area that are perfect for riding a bike upon... and you can always ride in somebody else's MV when you arrive... :)
Then again, you might be able to convoy up with somebody and thus could bring both the deuce and the bike. :grin:
As Mike says, we are talking about the same event. We'll be getting together to go over the trails, organize things etc. but we wanted to make sure that everyone knew the location and the date early.
Send in your suggestions as you think of them to either one of us (or both), or post them here...
I am hosting a rally at my godparents' farm in Syria, Va on Labor Day weekend. We've got about 2000 acres to play with, a bunch of roads on the property and on the neighbor's land that we can run on, several trails in the area (including a few cut by the CCC in the thirties when they were...
Left frame (driver's side) in front of the steering box on the outside of the frame. You will likely have to wire brush the area a bit, numbers are about an inch tall, widely spaced, and not stamped very deep.
Good luck.
I'm a big fan of my 1" wrench for when I'm at the shop and my 6' "cheater bar" for when I'm on the road...
I don't have one of the geared wreches, but a buddy does and I never could figure out how it worked until I saw the PS Magazine page on it that is located on the old site at...
If my memory serves me correctly, Dave at WeeBee Webbing has a dimensioned drawing of the rod and retainer clips on his website.
I had to fabricate a setup for one of my M38's...
Good point. I should've mentioned that by "in a pinch" that I meant that he could give it a shot of ether (a small one) if the cold start setup wasn't working...
As far as getting the presure up, that's what the t-handled pump to the right of the steering column is for. The power feed...
Sounds like one of my trucks on a cold day when I haven't started it for a while and get impatient and don't wait for the plug to warm up the intake... So, check to make sure that it's power feed is hooked up and that it is working (you are using it, aren't you). Also, don't forget to pump...
In a nutshell, it will all work just fine... You've got both service and emergency glad hands on the back of the truck to hook up to the trailer. Trailer does not care that the truck is air over hydrualic, just that you have the air to actuate its brakes, and you do.
Only issue that you might...
I passed this on to a friend of mine in SC who has a Bird Dog (pictured) in hopes that he could help and this was his reply... I suspect that you already know of these sources, if so it never hurts to post them in case somebody else is interested...

It's nationwide at all Golden Corral resturants...
The press release from the corporate office here in Raleigh:
RALEIGH, N.C. — Golden Corral restaurants across the United States will thank veterans with a free meal.

In addition to what has already been said:
Parts: Sid Beck at ACE Surplus in Texas and AB Linn in North Carolina are my two "first choices".

Thanks,
If he does make the trip, I could also get him to haul down those MBU's that you are interested in. They look good, I've just got to go through them to make sure that they all work as intended...
A buddy of mine just won a pair of 6.2 engines in the can at Eglin and is trying to figure out if he wants to drive down and snag them or get them shipped...
Anybody in the area, or headed that way, that is intested in helping to get them off base and moved to NC?
If so, PM me and I'll put the...
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — The Marines are inviting the public to help celebrate their 233rd birthday with a ceremony at Camp Lejeune.
The ceremony starts at 9:30 a.m. Thursday on Liversedge Field at the Onslow County base. The event will feature a cake-cutting ceremony and procession of Marine Corps...
Neil,
Follow the link the Rob posted earlier in this thread to the Ray Price Harley Davidson dealership's Veterans' Appreciation Cookout on Saturday. We were invited to stop by after the parade for food and to show off our vehicles.
It's on the way from the parade back to my place, so we're...
