HETT's sold for 11K a few weeks ago at Benning. How cheap do you think they will go? If I had known they were going to sell that cheap I'd have gotten a letter of credit from my bank and bought one. IMHO you will spend 15K or better on what you are thinking about if you are going to have a third...
It doesn't seem like a long time since Dave was PCS's by the Man Upstairs but there was undoubtedly an important mission for him to accomplish.
Although I never met him in person I spoke to him on the phone and we PM'd back and forth several times.
I'm a better person for having known him that...
Rolling backward in any gear except reverse is asking for trouble. If you are rolling backward in a forward gear and your foot slips off the clutch the next sound you may hear is metal grinding and have a rapid deceleration.
Not a problem Brother...that's what Steel Soldiers members do.
We all hope to see you at the 2014 GA Rally.
Elmo says "it's gonna be a HOOT!!!!" :wreckerman893:
The is a lot to be said for the judicious use of bling bribery. The Boss Lady caught me bidding on HETT's right before her birthday. She got a pair of diamond earrings the day of. Got me out of the chithouse for a few days but there is a GL auction every week.:whistle:

A classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. We still remember the abuse you heaped upon poor Elmo at a previous SS GA Rally. You possum porking fiend!!!!!!
I haven't heard from him and I got wrapped around the axle today doing other stuff and forgot to call him. I hope he made it back...
Fellow member alanb scored an M101 trailer a few weeks back and drove his deuce up here from Florida to get it. He arrived yesterday (2/20/14) and since I was committed (or should be committed) to a previous engagement he got to hang around while my son and I attended a Yellowhammer Filmmaker...
I beg to differ with you Sir.
I put over 50k miles on deuces in Germany back in the 70's and spilt empty or loaded.
Splitting gives you two extra gears and you can accelerate like a scalded cat if you know how to do it right.
When I had my bobber I surprised he ell out of a bunch of people...
If you want the most out of your deuce learn how to split shift.
When you are upshifting you have two extra gears if you can split shift. It is not rocket science and I think there are videos posted on how to do it correctly. Splitting when downshifting is trickier and if you make a mistake you...
A few years ago Bastardcard upped the limit on my business card to $35,000.00
I called them and told them to drop it back to $20,000.
The nice lady asked me why I wanted the lower limit.......I said "you don't know me very well....do you?"
Since most Wally-Worlds carry dry ice now could you put some on the thingy and cool it enough to shrink and break the tension on it?
Before I got out of the wrecker club my hydraulic hose guy had put a kid through college on my dime.
