Quick recap of the wench party...
Installed WDAN's headlight modulator and backoff light
Walt's Trunk rack
Rainmaker's front brake line
JC's everything else.  (think that bike must have a butterfly decal or something)
LOTS of fun...learned a lot.  Found as many tools as we lost...and found a few more bolts than we started with!  All in all, a great day!
Thanks for the hospitality...

Great surprise to see Hayhauler make it all the way here

Thank you, JC, for the good food and hospitality.
Thanks to Valkpilot and ThagAndy for their expertise in doing my electrical mods. I would not have been able to do any of this by myself.
A good time was had by all.

Thanks for taking the pics at the "wench" party, Harvey.  It was a blast.

Thanks to JC for his hosting and the great lunch from Dickey's BBQ.  

Thanks to everyone who helped me on my brake lines - I would have never figured out how to open those wire holders or how to bleed the Galfer lines correctly without Hayhauler, ThagAndy and Disco's expertise.  Valkpilot contributed by checking our work and advising us to keep bleeding as he felt air in the lines we did not feel and he was right.

It really is amazing to watch all of the people come and work on their and other motorcycles just for the joy of it. Some had nothing to do to their valks - they just came to help others. The knowledge in this group (excluding me) is without peer.  And when you add Jimmy, well, it is just mind-blowing.

There are few better times than working on motorcycles with your buds.

DARN!!

   I was wanting to get there before everybody left the "Valks 'R Us" party.  Undecided

Was thinking maybe could get a front end alignment and tire rotation before the festivities ended . .   but . .  oh well.  Embarrassed   Maybe next time.  Wink

Thanks JC for having us over. I had a great time. I wish I didn't have to leave so soon... Seemed like everything was getting up to full steam about the time I had to take off. It was good seeing everybody, looking forward to next time.
