Part-timer Steve is headed for Tejas.....

Here's what all that cutting and grinding was all about. Part-timer Steve loves his 2.2 gal. Mustang tank, but he's getting a little tired of stopping every 70 miles to gas up, and carrying extra gas. So, for his ride down to Texas for the Lone Star River Run this weekend, Steve decided a 3.5 gal. tank was in order. He put new tank mounts on to match his frame, sealed the tank, and primed it. He shot this photo at his place last night before he packed up. Yeah, he's riding down there.

I guess the plan is to hook up with (the other) MikeD from the Cheap Thrills and Good Times blog down there, and then on to Austin and the event. Steve plans on riding thru Big Bend Ranch State Park before he heads back. Lotta miles.

I hope Steve enjoys the 80 degree weather while he's down there, because there's a good chance he might be riding into some rain mixed with snow when he hits the SE corner of Colorado, and on into Denver on Tuesday. Hey, it's the middle of October......ah kids, you can't tell um' nothin'.
