    4 feet. Weather has not been good as it's been raining for 3 days now with temps hovering around freezing. First day of spring should hit the mid 60s and looks like a good day to finally get a ride in :cool:. Got a lot of new stuff to get used to . . .

    20140321_2 (640x480).jpg The ramp is finished, boys, and as the picture testifies, it's strong enough :D.

    Looks really nice. I like the way you added the two other posts and that non-skid paint works well when wet. Very nice job.

    I like your no loitering or drinking sign, pretty cool.

    Found that sign laying on the sidewalk in front of an abandoned building here in Hobgood. But there is a lot of loitering and drinking happening on the premises anyway :hungover:.

    I have a good excuse not to - ran out of paint :p. Took a ride this afternoon after school. Bike runs stronger than ever (and no oil leaks, either) plus the ramp works very well. Plenty of time to shift into neutral and hit the brake - no small task with this suicide clutch/jockey shift ass beater. If I miss neutral, I can always hit the kill switch :eek:.

    That's cool Josh really glad its working out for you. I would let the old porch just look natural. I really like the sign and drinking on the porch or inside well that's to be expected. :)

    Always, my friends. Next time the yard floods, I can get out my fishin' pole, stand on the "pier" and cast out LOL.
