The Deuce I was referring to is my son's bike. He'll be keeping it, he's almost got it paid for! Obviously not like his ol man.

Have I mentioned how wonderfully my farm equipment has held up this year?







That's because it hasn't...


Main field raked (grateful for small favors) but before I cold get the small one done, I get this.


Not sure what I gotta do to catch a break this year. Only consolation is it's pretty much over.

He's got a good bike there IMHO. No **** load of electronics. Just a good solid proven bike. I wouldn't mind having one at all.


The cam plate upgrade for my bike was done at 42K, and not because it was in desperate need of it. The shoes still had a lot of wear left and were holding up well, I just wanted to go ahead and do what I knew I'd probably have to sooner or later. You get a bigger oil pump with the upgrade too.


Kit, adjustable push rods, and labor was like $885

I think I'm going to have to fire my ***. Can't get good help these days...

It was getting pretty sloppy and a lot of wear around the bushing. Pretty much just a matter of time on a 33 year old rake. Actually better that it happened now. I got all winter to find parts and fix it.


Anybody up your way handle Durabilt?

Interesting reading that explains some of the ISR operations our government uses.
