  That was a fun story.
I hope to hear more about the Red Raider adventure in the near future, or perhaps a little sooner than the last update....  we all know that time is a thief, and a " minute" ago could be remembered as " that time" without the years between it...
and it could take a while maybe longer

John
Fascinating story and reminds of my younger days rebuilding my rides and vehicles(I had a 49 dodge 1 ton truck amongst other Dodges through the years)
in the 70s and 80s. 
I read through and watched the vids in November when you did your update and again yesterday when rb found it and posted on it so I figured I'd say howdy as I didn't get back on the fours until 2015 and joined the group in 2017 here so I hadn't seen your posts early on.
I rode through Houston in 1980 riding my K6 750 with my hound on the back to get to Daytona, I had spent the early winter in California having escaped the deep cold winter of Colorado ski country in early December that year and had wanted to get to see the races at Daytona.
Keep at the Raider.
