Hello to all my future riding friends!  Just relocated from Cali to Upstate So. Carolina.  I have met with the West Coast crew.  I even tried keeping up with them on the road!    All I know is that FJ owners are the the coolest dudes out there.  If any of you want to ride with an East Coast newcomer ,let me know.

But still plenty of SoCal members to meet up with. Mike from San Dimas just invited any takers to ride the Crest last Sunday. Tim brought his '84 to my place for some broken bolt repair. Ended up doing a valve adjustment just because. I think Mike is still holding his Man-Shed day in the near future. And the West Coast Rally is soon, it is looking to be the largest ever. Feel free to make your own introduction and say hi to everyone. We are mostly friendly, mostly...

The SoCal crew is the best!  Just watch it when Mark says the word, Thermite!

Man shed was moved to yesterday (sent you text). I worked Pats ass off. Teached him to ask me to bring something to the Rally. Most of the time was spent looking for the goodie that rolled under cabinet or the wrench I just a had a second a go, :crazy:
Good times

Yes, that was fun, throughly enjoyable.
I really enjoy working on someone's bike that has been well cared for, and Mike's '87 is a beauty.
I'm up for any man shed days you guys want to have in the future.

Mike, Thank Tina again for the yummy pasta lunch.
