Can’t remember if I posted it here but I found the o ring for the tranny plug was bad and split when I snugged it down. I believe that it was responsible for the oil on the bottom
Sending you a PM.

Sure, Greg, you and Rick have your little secrets you keep from the group. We understand.

@NoRegerts Chris, you did a great job on the wheel clean and polish. It was the last part of this week's denny that was holding me back from deeming it a success. I would have waited to realign the pipe had I known you were willing to do it for me.

You're gonna look good with that flowing mane as you do burnouts with the windows rolled down. We'll discuss removing the smell of burning rubber from the interior in another session.

Question for you guys out west....planning a trip on Route 66 starting June 18. What's the weather like out MO/KS/OK/TX/AZ/NM this time of year. Expect much rain or bad weather? Worries about elevations out there? Cool/cold weather? Have packable rain gear, but not sure if I need heavier jacket or hoodies. Any suggestions? Planning on riding a number of sections of 66 along the highway. Plan to hit the CA state line, then take highways home. If time. Any input you can give me would be appreciated.
Thanks.
