Hey All...
Well, I thought I was a gonner there for a while.
I haven't had the '68 out in over 2 years. Hadn't even cleaned the Paragon crap off of her from the last trip when I did a fair amount of body damage (Chicks still dig body damage, yes?).
I thought I was gonna sell the beast but after she started right up, and cleaned up real pretty. There is NO WAY I'm letting this thing go. I have just too much blood and money into her and damn - she still looks hot for an old gal. As I was doing my write-up on all the details about her, I thought, this is silly. Yes, gas more expensive than beer these days, yes I do have a ton of obligations that don't include "fun" for Brian, and yes, the wife is scared of wheelin' (but loves my bike go figure)
Anyway - I know I'll be missing the Fall Crawl due to travel but the truck despite having a couple love-bites from Hazleton, is really drivable so ... I'm back. Not sure how active I'll be but I just thought I'd reintroduce myself and let everyone know I'm back in that crazy addiction we call Bronco'n. (Hi everybody, my name is Brian, and I'm a Broncoholic)
Specs on the rig are below, I know I have some pics posted here somewhere from this little club started. If anyone wants to do a quick day trip to URE over the next couple weekends, gimme a holler!
