Soon my neighbor, soon. We’ll get out sooner but looks like Maries April 22. You need to make that one. Tiger coming, Brandon and Kevin BDay, everyone there. Tony coming too. Be a few shenanigans. It’s been a long damn winter!

Interior all in. Had to heat up some of the plastic that was bent from wreck in driver floorboard but it now fits great no gaps, clips slide in easily.
Went back to 3 point seatbelts. Installed the side nets as per the wife I hate um but whatever, she’ll probably be driving it a lot, keep her happy.
Waiting on gauge relocation kit to finish up dash and front end. Getting close🤗

Ya it’s just amazing how with all the rivets and glue combined how they can possibly fall off so many of our machines. The Talon is my 5th Honda they fell off of. I noticed Wolverine has same problem though. It is what it is!

Dood, I went for another ride today. The snow's melting but there's still a lot of it, wet, soft and slushy. Where there's no snow, there's a lot of run-off, so wet sandy gravel. My windshield gets unusable within a very few miles, then it becomes a battle with slowing in the wet sections or wiping my helmet visor, over and over and over and ...

Getting tired of the wiping routine, it became a go fast, slow enough that the splash doesn't soak me, go fast, slow down, go fast, slow down, go fast etc, etc. So it became a day of short drag race, hard braking, short drag race, hard braking, short drag race, hard braking etc etc etc

WHAT A RUSH!!! I had more fun than should be legal. Ricky Racer,

Nice!!! That gets me pumped even more. This was a lot for me to take on right now but I’ve been saying first of the year this year for awhile. I’m broke and overworked because of it but making it happen. Stories like that right there don’t help situation lol. It’ll all be worth it shortly, this thing will be ready to rock in just weeks. It’s going to be awesome to drive one I’m not worried about f***n up. Ya I’m excited!!

Alright from front of the doors to rear bumper on both sides is done! Everything adjusted and tight. Double checked.

Got the cheapie 200$ rock sliders on. Seem fairly good quality, going to get best to s*** anyways. I did kinda want blue ones but they’d always be scratched and seems to be bad idea leaving evidence on all the trees lol. They do sit just barely inside the tires which has been what I wanted. Honda did design the machine well for these.
Wish they went back a little further to help protect those big ol hips but it wouldn’t look right.
