Frederick bound Woods...what food do y'all want for your visit? Pork, chicken, beef? BBQ or taco bar? Hot Pockets or Lunchables?

We're spending MY overtime check on preparations. Preparations A-G have been flawless, so this step is Preparation H

Whatever is the least amount of hassle, Marcus. I cannot speak for the group but I am coming to enjoy fellowship with you and your family.

Having said that...
T-bones, potato salad, deviled eggs and Mexican beer...I am not picky.

Mexican Beer? You mean Milwaukees best? That's what the Mexicans here drink.

Make sure that spring loaded plunger is sticking out of the key hole by about 1/4 inch (as shown in pic below), which means it's unlocked. Then lift up on that spring loaded tab (arrow). Sometimes it won't compress all the way which it has to to rotate open. It can be a finger hurter. Then use a wood drift or something that won't damage the material (you'll need help) and gently tap that latch to rotate it at the top towards the rear of the bike.

As mentioned, the backrests tends to side load the whole deal which makes rotating that latch very difficult sometimes.

Sorry if I stated a bunch of obvious stuff. I don't know how much experience you have with these.

I have some friends that will only drink Milwaukee's best. I haven't had one since 97 when I enlisted and got the hell outta there
