The new brake part did not come in today. I went back to the Harley shop this afternoon with my parts, they thought they might be able to make the parts work. They couldn't, the tolerances are just too tight. They gave me a set of 4 inch risers to try and see if they will work. So between now and bedtime I need to install the risers and the old brake system that you see in the photo, pack all my stuff, and make a test run. This is a lot like Orange County Choppers with the pressing deadlines. The only thing missing is Paul Sr. to come around stressed out and start yelling and swearing.

Let's all hope that Mike gets his front brakes fixed soon, and gets on the road. Mike!!!! front brakes are important. Ya think???
Grayling and Alma
I got them fixed up last night, had some problems with the risers, but other than that the bike is ready. Our home PC decided to take a dive last night so I'm attempting to fix it this morning. So I'm not on dawn patrol like I had hoped
Enough with the hold-ups! I mean do you really want to do this trip or not? Are you getting cold feet, is that it? Are you chicken? In the spirit of Sweet Johnny just go! I mean really! Sweet Mikey, Sweet!
