Disco, want to meet up 0n 380 somewhere then go to Lewisville?
My route will be 720 south to Garza and over the toll bridge to 35E south to 1171/Main east.  There is a QT on Swisher just east of 35 we could meet at.

What time, and why don't we meet at the Chevron across 35?

Just got home from a great wrench party. Someone correct me, I counted 16 bikes at the most. Great to see everybody, especially the host Nora, who deserves a standing ovation  cooldude cooldude for the great food provide! Chauffeur wasn't to bad either!  cooldude Wink

Didn't need my bike worked on. I had a great time and a 210 miles day in the best weather possible.
Thanks TJ

Thanks to Chauffer and his wife for hosting! Great food!

Houdini just thanked TJ. Was TJ there? Saw some hulking 9'3 feller there. Could that've been TJ?

The day was a rousing success.

Let's see....

Houdini fixed his fog light.
WDAN installed and wired up his Stebel, assisted by Woody, BnB Tom, TJ.
Disco and I desmogged the black bike.
Chauffer and pals changed his fork springs (an especial shout out to Lucky_1_Chris, who really stepped up on this project) and tuned his CB.
Timbo accomplished his mission of distracting at particularly inopportune times.
Woody changed out his shock bushings and his rear brake pads, two seemingly easy tasks that weren't.  TJ and Houdini made it happen.
Others lent hands where needed and otherwise milled about and socialized.

Chris and Victor debate who will pole dance first.

Y'all forgot to mention the Dublin DP (thanks TJ) and redecorating the garage ceiling with front fork fluid  Grin Grin Grin .

The test ride on the new progressive springs was impressive.   Really appreciate the help provided by Chris, Tom, and Victor.  

I trust all had a good time - only took a couple pictures...



Checkout Jerry's custom made saddlebags (with a built in cooler)....  Just waiting for the final paint to match.  



Thanks for stopping by.

Thank-you Dave and Nora. I had a good time hanging out and helping where I could. There is nothing better than a wrench party to get to know one another and to learn on how to work on our Phat Girls. I like the wrench party scene better than meetings.     cooldude
