Vladislav

Tom, It was really great loss for me and I'm sure for many others to miss you there. I too hope for the future.

It was the great day, guys, for sure. Bunch of beautiful trucks, nice weather, good food and so on. I came into conclusion though being meeting you, my lovely friends. Probably needed whole a month of time to talk with everybody and look well over every your truck. Still have a feel that I missed much interesting and important. So here is my pare of cents on the thoughts. Anyway I enjoyed the meeting too much. DCR, it was very nice and friendly from your side to make the cake party. Vlad.

NY looked well. Just too many people but good city location with much water surround. I used to live in a big city although that's not the place I dream to spend my life at.

Looks like those space-cabbed rigs all vent to Iran.

Great collection of trucks! Vinny,thank you for sharing.

You are close to be right JT. Whole 8.

I too hope to see you soon guys. I'm in NJ just aside of NYC,met my old friend and looked over the city. jT, I wish I could see the muscle cars although it comes to be difficult now. And the damn time difference makes me upset.

Good news folks. I was mostly off 'puter for some last days although I'm in NJ now!

Have the great day!

I was in Normandy and saw that place. Going to be again. We Russians too thankful for opening the second front. It saved millions of soliders' lives and shortened the war in Europe.

Randy, thank you for the cleaning up, I totally forgot how the evening meeting is called. Leon, just wonder how to recognize you on the show grounds without your black'n green R.

The most interesting point by our way is the castle of Crusaders in Malbork, Polland. It was built about 1300 as the residence of the Great Masters of Teutonik order. This castle is the biggest brick one in the world. It was demaged hard at the WW2 time though.

So far so good. Fresh Pollish pics. Central railroad staituon in the city of Gdanśk and the local train.

Thank you for the kind words guys. We aren't in Germani yet. But will be soon. No vodka for the first time though… Any way I can't bring whole a trailer of for all the community. JT, yeah, the SEC is mine. I drive it above 120 mph some roads.

There are also photo of port city of Gdanśk which was called Danzig before WW2. We stay over night here.

On Monday, June 10 me and my son will fly out to USA. It's working out not so easy though because we'll do it from Amsterdam There is a plan to visit my friends in Germany and Holland by the way, so there are two different things in one can. The first half of the trip must be covered by car At now we made 1000 miles from Moscow(home) and we made crossed right half Poland. Not many pictures are in the camera now, but the most attractive once are on your display. The sky scenery and the steam locomotive by the gas station were in Belarussia. The road shots and buildings were from Poland.

Barry, do you plan to bring Watt's Branded t-shirts?? I too hope to get some flames.

Looks great. Hope it will be all of that way to you.

I like red MH. And the goats are awesome as usual. Shure there was too rare chance to observe so nice dressed girl making improvements to her steel horse. Too rare kind of women nowadays. You must be happy being seeing such the scene.

Nice bikes and the ride stories. I took my one on the road some times in May, there was beautiful weather for a couple of weeks. Ended up with weared out fromt brake shoe. Feeled minor pulsation on the lever so had to back home slowly using rear brakes only. It was a trip to get my passport with a Visa though. Weekend? Most of the holiday I spent for different needs to get ready for my trip. Going to start tomorrow.

I also think it's LJ. Sorry to see the frame cutted through. As for the vent windows they make sence of course but I think they started from about 1944.

Very nice trucks, thank you for posting. What was the 10 years bike trip? What where the countries and how did you travel between continents?

What the diff's ratio is? And what the kind of them? Of course if they will be off your project.

I wish you more free days to work on the truck before the show. I also use to shift car sticks most of my life. So had to re-learn for a motorbike. Truck is re-training again. Looks like my R has rough gearbox although it shifts if you understand what's going on and how to put a gear in. I'm going to mind I must be happy about having no bounce while bobtailing. The truck has a wheel base long enough and she's air ride. Although it has "special" brakes. Ex-owner didn't make front shoes up, said there was a trouble to steer her in when on a snowy road. It was probably good enough with a tri-axle loaded trailor. But when bobtailing and need to stop short... So my pair of cents - try extremely stop with full brake down on 20-30 MPH.

I have been in quarries but never have seen such a giant. Wonder is the only operator required to activate this shovel? Reminds me about whole an army to service German Dora gun.
