Spentshell will chime in shortly with the details of the adventure. I was taking photos and video and used my truck as the rear guard. The quick story is our friend Tom lost his brakes because of a blown wheel cylinder. This is the first time anyone of us towed another MV. Except for one rude woman that cut in front of us during the convoy all went smooth. Taking the wheels off was another story. Of coarse after a test ride and a lunch stop at Fridays Toms radiator sprung a nice leak. Here are some photos. I'll have the videos up later or tomorrow.
The M998 was used to stop the Deuce while driving out of the storage area so we could hook it up.

The details are that we busted our buts all day and had fun doing it. Its really not that bad towing with the tow bar after all, we even had a max speed of 27 mph woohoo. Cant wait for the video.

I was in the back so I had no say on the speed.

That being said. It was our first time towing, we didn't trust what we were doing, It was wet out and the fastest road we were on had a 45mph speed limit. Last but not least, have you ever seen what we pay in NY for insurance.

Oh another thing. If you play it safe you will usually never be sorry.

Plus we are a bunch of girls. :oops:

Man, I missed a good time :-D. I'm glad everything worked out safely for ya's.
We knew with the warmer weather you would be out wrenching on your own. The 4 of us are going to do a nice weekend run soon. Think you and your brother can join us?

Plus next month we have the Rocky Point Parade and a week later Montauk. I'm thinking a Camp Hero Invasion. :-D
