Sphincter workout!!!!

[Dennman]

Took the Weerier out for a quick burn over to buddy Gerry's to see if he was goin to the Campbell River swap on Sun.I'd just put a digital stick-on clock on the scoot.Barely down the road and the clock fell off.U-turn to retrieve.Pull out and give'er.Only doin 30MPH and front end starts to shimmy,then shake,progressin to a tank slapper.Get it pulled over with some difficulty.Pull out and easy does it to Gerry's.After a visit,I plan to head up to my Indy's (Jack) for a confirmation of what I thought was the problem.(Too tight a preload on the neck bearings).Give the front end a shake and hear a slight "Tink".Closer inspection and the axle clamp is loose,missing 1 nut + washers and the axle nut is only finger tight.Tighten the clamp and axle and head to Jack's for BS and a 5/16th fine thread nylock.All nice a tight on the way home.
  Neighbour mentioned a few days ago about going for a ride together.Glad I didn't go.

Gerry's doin fine.Rode up to Campbell River with me ,in the rain,to a swap meet today.He's officially retired now.Got his first union pension cheque last week.He's headed East on the 1st of June to catch Friday 13 in Port Dover and then down to visit his family.Probably end up on the east coast again.May be the last trip for the Victory.We been pumpin him to buy a new Indian.Also a 2007 Electra-Glide locally has his interest.It's well maintained,clean and $15,000.
