    Who needs anti skid when you have @smeagol21b and @TheCrazyGnat to stop the fall? That was scary... I actually blocked that memory... until now, so... thanks!

    But no, No anti skid... It's expanded steel (looks like mesh???) I was thinking about rolling on some rhino liner truck bed stuff, but i'm thinking that might be slippery too when wet. Just have to remember to get the bile on the trailer before total nightfall and subsequent dew!

    Checked the bearings and sanded/spot painted the trailer as well. Looks good... as good as a trailer can look.

    @saftie suggested that adding flames would make it look and perform better.

    They make spray on anti skid/ slip resistant material, you can get them at Walmart, alternatively they anti skid strips for your steps or even for the tub, just run a strip where you be taking the bike up. Expanded steel can be slick as snot even when dry...

    Do we have a headcount yet for next weekend?

    Started looking at weather forecast. Still hoping to ride up there.

    Again with the flames? It didn't make your mini van any faster did it?

    Right, but I made the mistake if not putting red and yellow ones on.

    My plan is borrowing my father-in-law's truck/trailer and driving there Saturday morning and home after things wrap up. I'll plan on valve adjustment and fork oil change to keep things simple.

    I don't suppose you'd bring the FZR1000? It's a bike I'm looking for in the next few years, maybe once I'm done w/ the BSA.

    Think I'm gonna stop at Orange County Choppers on the way up there on Friday.
    Still have this Harley project and need to figure something out, hoping to get some inspiration, maybe I get to talk to someone.

    Btw, here my FZR1000 photo documentary
    Gabobobikes.com/Kinga

    Under "builds" on that site is a bike called Rita, was pretty much the same bike. Originally a 750 but had a 1000cc engine int it.
