I did fit in a little time this weekend to get my vegas out of storage. We bolted a 150 to it so a buddy can race it for the season.

Nothing like a driveway full of streams :boating:

Thanks, I will be running mariner colors on the boat and motor so I thought the grey fenders and carpet was fitting.

Man it's been a busy summer and the vking has taken a back seat to working, but I needed the shop space so a little work got done yesterday. The first time back on the trailer in about 6 months.

I hope to get the dash and steering in this weekend but you know how that goes.

I have a couple bikes to work on so the vking is stashed in storage for a week or two but I have a little motivation to get it done. I spent today assembling a bunch of mix and match parts on a 280 block.

After a couple days of upper 90 degree days I had enough and added a ac unit in the shop, life is good :up:
