Well made it back with the truck...without any mechanical failure...lol. Oh gonna tell you a little story , we get at odd times ...transient vagrant passing through the town on rare occasions during the summer...been a week been noticing this one..when going to the coffee morning hours...ripped up clothes dirty has hell.with a winter coat and a hoodie in this 30c plus weather....on my way to get my truck...this transient was walking on the side of the highway...walking in the same direction I was going...I almost stopped and offered it a ride..but the traffic was to heavy and im not in the habit of picking up hobos... On the way back...that same person was sitting down next to the white line...mixing bottles of water or something...I pulled over and ask..French or English..turns out it was a elderly women..maybe 50 or so...I gave her 20 dallors and a bottle of water...told her its for food ..not drugs...pour things she's was actually about 70 km from the nearest next town...

Ya that could work...

Well better than those comanders 3...shit in the rain..with a 130hp on tap and a woping 300 pounds of torque this thing needs a performance tire...

I wouldn't risk it...with a heavy Spanish accent...your liable to be trown into that swamp infested with bugs and alligators ...Alligator Alketraze....

Well good news...my truck is ready to be picked up...1 hour to get there now...hopefully the engine won't explode on the return ride..lol

Good idea...cause I'd have you running around in circles till your brain would explode ...

Yes Pedro shouldn't definitely not try a crossing any time soon...

So you're probably thinking what's the big difference from a Harley...no need to mess around with the muflers, with rusted clamps and are a pain in the arse to remove at times...if only Harley had compitent engineers...lol.

Breack time...gonna run to old shop and install the tire...in a few...

Remove wheel...piece of cake..

Removing pin...jack underneath the wheel to take the pressure off...and voila...easy access to the axle saft and nut...

Removing circle clip and use a bolt from one of engine side cover to screew in the pin to give something to grab to...

And im doing this in actual time wyll posting this has I go ...and I'm certainly not rushing... Step two..remove caliper , and linkage pin so to un- couple the suspension linkage..pin held in place by a circle clip...make sure to mark the adjuster for the rear to get it has close has possible when reassembly..

My PJ 's ...with Buckster favorite animal on it...mule deer...lol.

A screew it..im doing it today..I'll show you how easily a rear tire swop is on a indian ...compared to a Harley... Step one, remove panniers and side cover...I'll add pictures later...think it can actually be done without removing the panniers but I'll clean the muflers wyll I'm at it...

My legs are perfectly match to my body ..here's the proof...and yes im still in my PJs at the moment...lol.

Stop being so hard on the little one....lol...he'll end up in the lurk section again....

Has if im capable of photoshoping a pic...lol..my left foot is clearly planted on the ground dum arse..lol.

You know it...lol. Are you still planning that trip to the U.S or did the big guy throw you off ?...I wouldn't risk it...you'd probably be turned around at the crossing after the look at your ugly mug...lol or get mistaken for and IRA terrorists...lol.

Don't know if i will be takling that today...anyway that rear tire with a plug in it since new lasted until completely worn out...never did pull it off again to patch it...never leaked so..still running on the OE front..it scallop a little but its still good...should last the summer...

Oh and these were 4x4 trucks...

Well certainly lived my share amount of stress over the years...and getting paid for peanuts when I first started working for others...remember when I was in my early 20 in my prime.....did 2 manual clutchs in two Chevy trucks in one day...one in the morning, and the other after lunch...finishing by 5 o'clock...was working for Canadian tire company at the time....understood early on the only to make a living doing this was to branch off on my own...

Well you weren't certainly fixing your owne shit at 8 years-old like i was... Tell me if you're this good...why are you still driving a bus for a living...?

Started working in the automotive field when I was 16 years old...

I could certainly happen...just get your arse over here...I've got 5 motorcycles...I'll let him pick his weapon....
