death traps swap meet

so...we were all set to ride to the swap today and i find out (wednesday) that one of my cylinders has weak compression! so we scramble and find a motor and picked it up last night @ 8pm so we can swap motors...we were well on our way and had about a good 2 hours to go and we discovered a snapped bolt in the cluutch side case! the thing was flush and no tools we had in my garage was going to work...we spent 2 hrs trying to get it loose, to no avail. fuck our lives! it seems like something always goes wrong when we plan to ride. fuck it...guess thats how it is. anyhow, we drove to the swap instead and found some shit for Cody's 69 Bonneville 650. i found the matching passenger pegs for my bike.

The bolt is being extracted by Neal Ferguson at A & M Performance located in West Sacramento. After that, we should get the motor put in on friday night and after a few hours (and hopefully no more fuckin hiccups) we should be completely done with this bike! El Diablo Run is less than a month away and - needless to say- we are on a time crunch but should be ready to go.
