WELL let's just say Probably won't be doing THAT again any time soon.  crazy2 Got lined up behind the lead Squad car and the band and as we know these beasties of ours idle a bit faster than walking speed so there is a LOT of clutch feathering involved. Suffice to say the old arthritic hands were NOT up to the task of the entire parade route!  Lips Sealed Bout a 1/3 of the way I had to pull off and become a spectator as I did NOT want to run over an unsuspecting high school student.  Undecided YES-I did take my drugs before I rolled.  Grin For a small town we sure do put on a nice Parade. Bout another 40 mins or so I'll be in the wind as it is warming up rather nicely here. 63 Olds rag top 50 Chevy pick up with corner windows a 68 Firebird with a 326 55 Chevy 2 door-and those were but a few of the vehicles there today and some REALLY old farm tractors. Hope ya'll havin a great day out there in Valkyrie land!  cooldude RIDE SAFER.

I too was in the local parade.... my clutch hand was killing me a the end.

we were right behind the boy / cub scout troop - stopping to hand out candy to the kids on the route.

Probably wont do that again...

       My Spirit was willing but my body came up short!  Lips Sealed I ended up tail end Charlie at the lunch ide in Spearfish this past June after being first road guard. Even on a MUCH warmer day than I had today my hand was taken over by the ritis!  uglystupid2 Hell-coulda been worse my legs or knees couda give out!  crazy2 RIDE SAFE.
