I let him -- because I don't want him to call the loans in.

I always knew you were a smart business man.

Ed ---


I was really missing not being there - until I found out Charley and Mike were on tour with you. Then I was kinda glad I'm stuck at home.


As it is - We covered a lot of ground on the house build that needed to be done. But I'm not happy about not being with you yahoos.

XOXO
Greg

Greg, I've never met Charley, but it seems that every picture I see him in, his left hand is "stuck" in this position. Can you elaborate on this for us? Lol!

You know Scott -- that's a really good question. It just pretty much sums up our "relationship" since I first met him.

I always took it as a statement "You're still #1 with me!".


LOL


He gets great joy out of suggesting that his friends buy stuff "they need" ... and flipping people off. My guess is his mother washed his mouth out with soap a lot.

It appears that Charlie has a rare but very serious arthritic condition that causes the left middle finger to protrude above the other fingers on that hand. I'm not sure, but beware -- it may be contagious!

Also - --with every picture I realize more and more how much of a serious player Charlie is....... I mean - - - a Segway! I'll bet Greg doesn't have one of those! :lol:

It's the opposite of a condition known as 'trigger finger' in which the tendon develops a bulge and catches in the guide sheath, left untreated the finger can lock in the clenched position. I believe the condition Charley has can be referred to as 'stink finger'. :sieg:

Musclerodz 10-01-2014 11:58 AM

Those pics of Charley really do sum him up in one pic, ALWAYS having fun somewhere. Lateral-G party is always a great get together when you have all these characters under one roof.

Can some one tell me what pages there are actual on topic discussions or pictures of said project. I have seen more pics of Charlie then an actual 40 Ford.

I actually just laughed out loud when I read this.
Maybe Charley is upset because he gave Greg too low of a rate on all of the money he's borrowed from him?
Charley, what's your side of this? :popcorn2:

Charley is very important! Cars (trucks) really aren't.

Then why don't we just put that in the title? The title of this one leads one to believe there is info on an actual 1940 Ford truck. It says nothing about and older guy with an apparent attitude problem. How can a guy smile so much and yet flip the bird in more pics then not.

And from what I remember from grade school he is not even doing the bird properly. Maybe those standards have changed also but I am not aware of any new procedures.

You guys all suck.just took Mayhem on a 2600 mile trek with the Goodguys and most of it was in the rain. Went thru the Rockies and went up to to 12,500 ft. That is the highest I have ever been on this Earth. Scary looking down to the right with no guard rail and realize if you go over you drop two miles. What a great fricking trip. In Texas now and sat night we get to take our cars on Texas Motor Speedway which I'm told is very banked.

And the car ran like a top and I only got one ticket.

Sucks to be you --- I've STOOD on the banked turns there (found a hole in the fence down by turn 3) --- and even went for a ride in a "NASCAR" (ask Ed about the smile on my fat little face when I climbed out of it).... which was much more fun than I thought it would be. You'll be SHOCKED at how steep they are.... 23* I think.

You're only 2 hours from Austin -- go down and see SW.... and eat at Franklins or The Salt Lick. He'll take you out to COTA... and hang out -- I'll be there Saturday.

If you're lucky they'll light up that WORLD'S LARGEST whatever you call it --- GIANT TV --- that thing is F'n HUGE!!

NOW THAT IS NOTEWORTHY!!!! LOL

GregWeld 10-02-2014 08:43 PM

BTW -- Lillard....


The new "track bike" I sent you a pic of earlier.... that is SUPPOSED to go 30 miles on a charge.... I charged it up --- left the shop and headed home - it's about 17 miles... I made it 11 and had to call Gwen to come get me. Out of juice in one third the miles they said. SO I DO SUCK. Seems nothing I buy will run right or work as advertised.

Sorry for the jack ... Mayhem is a gorgeous, understated 67!!! Love that pix!

Retro Hippie! It looks cool, I bet it looked real good on the side of the road! Did Gwen let you know that besides the motor it has pedals?

It looked so good in the "FORD" position... that a buddy did a U turn (it's a small area -- one road in and out) and came back to see if I needed help.

Yes it has pedals and the only reason I made it to where I was waiting for Gwen was using them. This bike is HEAVY.... single gear.... and not made to pedal. It's made to ride. It was fun for the 11 miles!

DBasher 10-03-2014 07:55 AM

It always happens on the first outing...or second, sometimes the third. Charge it up and give it another shot!

We used to get pulled over by Officer Chu, now Detective Chu, riding our hopped up Whizzers in downtown Bellevue....those were the days!

you should of bought one of these. www.brammo.com. They are here in Oregon. Why didn't you just get a Segway like Charlie? Just cause you face planted the one time you got on it? Don't give up you'll eventually get your balance.

Rode the 17 miles to the shop this morning without a hitch.... Learned a couple things via a simple email.... #1 my bike (they're all custom built) was built in RACE MODE.... which obviously uses more more and goes faster. I held the throttle wide open until it ran out of juice.... turns out you don't need to do that to maintain speed... once up to speed you back off the throttle and she keeps humming right along. Trust me - this thing hauls ass....

Charged it last night - all night... which I also think was part of the issue - even though I had charged it for awhile yesterday.. but maybe not enough. I may have needed a full on charge.

I don't want anything like what Charley has.... LOL

The reason I face planted was I didn't turn the stupid thing on --- it needs to be ON in order to work. Imagine that! How stupid!

Still no truck pics?
