Down the street from the old DJ Mitsu or down the street from your house?

No, it's on 27th down the street from DJ Mitsu. They pulled the car off the trailer and the E-brake was fine. WTF? It also would not have been covered under warranty since the warranty on brakes is only 12,000 miles... Oh well, didn't cost me anything except 68 miles on the bike. I just wonder if this will happen again or if it was some fluke.

That's what I was hoping rolling it back & forth would do. I wonder where it was hung up.

Haha yeah, I definitely am at least until Shawano. After that, I'll take my chances again. I'm still disapointed I can't make tomorrow's event. Have fun!

Hey Bill, sorry I couldn't talk long. We ended up to be on the wrong side of the island and had to walk another hour.

Anyways, if you guys/gals haven't been to Key West.....go. The 4 days we were there it was non-stop action. We should be back in town on Monday morning.

I'd consider an aluminum jack if I get to the point that I'm changing tires at events. They seem pretty sweet.
I had the crapsmen aluminum jack and it blew out the piston seal. Brought it back, and it did it again. I went through 4 of them until I just told them to give my money back and bought a no-name jack from Northern tool and its been good so far.

Right down the block where we were staying was a "***** house" aka escort house. I figured we were in the 1800s since they were all lined up on the balcony. The ground sludge looked better than them.

Moss.... very well run event! Thanks for the invite and opportunity to run that track.

Good times.... but I wish more Miltown EVO's would have attended.
