It could have been but I have an ODSS member interested in it now, but also just found out, the title numbers don't match the truck numbers.
I'll be talking to the DMV tomorrow to see if I can get that corrected.
The Homecoming would be a good road trip on your bike and then you would be part of the LDT and help do the first start.

Welcome to LDT.
Your help will get you addicted to attending every year.
I'll PM you later on what to expect.
Once you get past the hazing, you're in the ODSS.
Don't worry, they won't leave any marks/scars, that people can see, in the winter, with heavy clothes on.
Mike
I was not a witness to the butchering you did to that truck, so I cannot claim credit for your name tagged to the door.

Not a big deal to invite a 100 of your dirty, foul mouthed, hungry friends over for the weekend and invite them to bring 1000s of lbs of rusted metal and leaking main seals to be parked in the front yard. No. Not a big deal at all. My wife would roll with that. Can yours?

Just because your rusty metal leaks oil, doesn't mean that the rest of ours do!
Any one up for a truck raising end of March or beginning of April? I need some help to test drive before I link up with the homecoming convoy for the drive.

Chris - Tread lightly, young jedi, we have not witnessed the leak rate on your project yet. Let's get that thing running first so those fluids can find all those seams and seals.
I will bring a drip pan for the both of us and will drink out of the one that does not leak. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,424 ODSS President | | ODSS President Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,424 | Yikes - "a message for your sir"

I was going to win that bet by draining the transfer case on flappy prior to your arrival.

Lets say you find the most beautiful truck, you sit there all day hoping the owners comes and shows you around and go for a drive. He never comes.
At Homecoming, its never hard to figure out who's truck belongs to who. Not only will you get a ride in it, you may get to drive it, then when you're done, we do the same with your truck. Finally, if there something going on with your truck that you can't figure out, there will be many on site to help you.
Finally, there are going to be some crazy people in a place called the "OR" where folks learn some things and hopefully every truck that enters this OR, leaves better than it entered.
Can you do all that at Carlisle???
There will be plenty of activity on Saturday for sure!
