Weekend roundup

I made a ton of progress in the last week, and had a killer weekend. I spent 3 more days pulling all nighters trying to slap the bike together in time for Pinned Ohio. I got it running well after a little carb tuning, and finally got everything on it Wed night. Pulling it out of the garage for the first time since October felt great. I was able to come up with a mounting set up for the exhaust that let me utilize the stock hangers, but was still a major pain in the ass. I took it for a nice ride to test it all out, got home after about an hour and realized that I had 1 of 5 bolts remaining that hold the rear sprocket onto the hub, yikes. I got all new bolts, lock washers and drown them in lock tight. Took it for another spin on Friday and caught an unidentified bolt on the leg doing about 60. I decided not to take it with me to Columbus, and cruised out in my 61 econo pickup instead. We camped Friday night at Mohican state park. Hot dogs were eaten, beers were drank, people we caught on fire. It was a good time and I met some really rad people. We got about 20 minutes outside of Columbus and the seat bracket on Taran's XS broke, so we made a roadside repair using a few zip ties to hold the seat on until he gets a new bracket. Pinned was amazing, great turn out, lots of down to earth, like minded people. We rocked out hard to some Charlie Hustle and soaked plenty of people in warm beer. It was a great weekend with great people, already looking forward to next year.
