    BTW Bill , checked with My Chief ... he doesn't mess with ECT any more. In typical Chief fashion, says "I just drive the truck." God I love that guy.

    He's single handedly responsible for the season changes here in Maine based on his garage organization....more specifically the snowblower/lawnmower switcheroo.

    in other news, since I moved, I'm a few miles further from the office, making it a safe run for my air cooled bikes. Means that on a day I 'know' I won't have to pick up equipment or travel with anybody, I can take a bike to work. Rare event.

    Here's Pearl, safe from the blazing sun, but not safe from fork truck drivers. Pick your poison

    There are never any shenanigans with fork truck drivers. You're good.

    Hey @CTSpruceMica looks like another visit to my neighbrhood may be in order. This is one of the showrooms at that facility I was telling you and Mrs. Spruce about...

    [​IMG]

    Same place also houses North Americas finest Ducati and Piaggio (Aprilia/Vespa/Guzzi) showrooms. No expense spared. Place is insane.

    Mrs SpruceMica said she's always up for a trip to Indy. Every time, we say next time we're flying and once a little time goes by we realize that the road trip is half the experience. But..those I-70 potholes...jeez

    I measured about 22” from center of wheel to fender. I forgot to say, it has the factory tow package. Springs look something like this. Look stock?

    That bottom leaf doesn’t bend down . That’s just the wide angle phone lens doing what they do.
