Bama Swap and Drag

The 4th Edition of the Bama Swap and Drag is coming up this weekend.  The weather forecast seems to be improving for Saturday so be there ready to party!

Preparations

Ross, Bill and myself have all been dialing in our bikes in preparation for our trip. We leave in less than 60 days! I had a key switch go bad last weekend. After that, I decided to upgrade my battery to an AGM. I had to modify the battery box to accept the slightly larger battery. I then tooled and dyed a new leather battery cover. All in all, I am very confident in my bike but I want to be prepared as possible to handle issues on the trip. Can't wait!!!

The Coctagon!

Friday in San Felipe will get interesting!  24 "like-minded motorcycle enthusiasts" will square off in the Coctagon!  Check out the EDR blog for more info on this epic showdown.

 

Sportster Tracker

I'm close to pulling the trigger on my next project.  It's an 80's EVO Sportster that has a fresh engine rebuild.  I've poached the following pictures from the interwebs for inspiration.  I will probably use some ideas from just about all of these examples.

I won't get started until late Summer at the earliest so this will probably be next Winter's project!

EDR Passport Wallets

I've been plugging away on EDR Passport Wallets for the past few months. These wallets will ensure that "like-minded motorcycle enthusiasts" stay organized while riding the wild thunder across Baja Mexico!

Cabin Fever

I'm dealing with some medical issues and have been in the hospital since Saturday. I'm beginning to get cabin fever. I want to go home.

 

Here's a picture of my motorcycle. I put a new headlight on last week and I like it a lot better than the big square one I had.

 

Well, that's about it as far as an update.
