Visions of Dyna on the course in full leathers and boots is what I get...Wish we could have been there to catch it on film.

Hey Dyna, did you get one of those nice electric carts or the old gas powered ones I used to assemble at HD. LMAO

It was some electric deal. And that thing could climb some pretty steep hills too. Almost thought it was rolling over once:D

And South Hills sux. Couple minor doglegs, but mostly all straight shit. So long as you hit it straight that course is super easy.

I really gotta work on hitting it straight:)

Crusty-
Mine was too large too but I used some good ole ingeuity and filed it down to fit. I removed just enough so I had to force it thru the hole so it wouldn't fall out on my dirty floor.
Those of you that don't have a file I believe they sell them at most True Value hardware stores. (That was a boldface plug for my favorite non-motorcycle shop).

Iamike,

Yeah, that's all the input I was looking for. I just wanted to ask if people were working on the plug or the frame loop. Anyway, now Crusty is sending me a new and improved plug. He's the man! Thanks again Crusty!

I made the drain plugs as a memento for the 20th Anniversary. I had access to a lathe, and I bought 2 6 foot lengths of 5/8" aluminum round stock. I worked about 2 hours a day making them for something like 40 - 50 hours total. I no longer have access to that lathe, I have no stock and right now, I don't have the time anyway.
My mother is dying with Pancreatic cancer, and all my energy is going towards helping her while keeping my own family close during this very painful time. I'm sorry I can't help everyone out, but I'm only one person and have only so much energy to go around.

Steve-
That'll teach you for missing that great event. It was great of Crusty to plan ahead and make those for everyone. That type of action may just catch on and every event could become a big swap meet.
Crusty-My thoughts are with you and your mom. It's really hard to see that type of thing happening to a loved one. When my sister died it took long enough for us to say our goodbyes and be at peace with it. I hope never to lose anyone suddenly. There can be too many regrets of unsaid things.

Crusty -- all our thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones . . .. stand tall, and just keep letting your mom know she's loved

without stepping on anyone's toes (especially Crusty's, who nobility is obvious), if someone needs a drain plug, I got a lathe, and aluminum stock is easily come by . . .. it won't be by Crusty, and it won't be a momento of the 20th, but it'll keep the oil frlom spooging outa the tank

Sorry to hear about your Mom Crusty. I'll be thinking of you.

I have one of Bomber's handmade knives, yes, he does good work.

Ride to the edge!
