So, this show happens to be the same weekend as the September meet was planned. It's only an hour from Springfield, and the first version of this show was a blast, so I can only imagine this one will be too.


Well its official, we are going to throw together another SOL show here in Joplin the 20, 21 of Sept. The owner of the bar we threw it at last time had a blast and has been asking me to throw another one everyday since the last one. He's done more work to the bar since the last show, we now have an outside stage for live bands, and I hope to have the side street block off by the city for a stunt bike show. We are going to have drink specials and since its a 2 day show this time we will be having the after party at the bar with live bands, wet T-shirt contest, and a beer-pong tournament. More details to come but mark your calendars its going down, hope to see everybody there

Well, it's up to everyone else really...I mean, I'm gonna do the SOL show. I hate to flake out on the RPS guys, but this show is in my town, and to keep it going you gotta support it, ya know?

Got accepted to wyotech for next june. Gotta have a vehicle to work on while im there plus ive been really wanting a truck again and well.....2 play toys is a bit much for me, crap just 1 is more then enough...
Besides if things go right I should atleast have a 5/4 drop for under 80 bucks with shocks :)

Stepside is a pain ill let you know. Nobody makes anything for them and everyone wants me to make some fancy diagram thingy that keeps confusing me. LOL

dakotahq
Sep 09 2008, 09:18pm
yeah. I've only seen 2 stepsides ever actually fixed up. both of them looked terrible, because of how much you have to raise the flairs to clear tires...but at stock height or dropped a little, i love the stepsides.
