Good trip, I got in about 4pm. I made an unplanned stop in Winston Salem to find some food (I passed Trooper Chris on the way in) Man was that a mistake. Geez drove around forever looking. Finally found some grub.

Then I get back on the road and just before the big hill climb up fancy gap I hear that my exhaust is getting quite loud. The power was getting pretty weak to match. So after I topped out at a whopping 45 MPH (last year same hill I topped out at 70 with the same tires) I pretty much knew the exhaust flange was leaking something terrible.

I got home and find a bolt out of my three bolt flange at the header.

Thanks to all for a great weekend, my son and I had a great time as expected. Can't wait to get back there in the spring. I may just get the wife there this time. My father in law is talking about getting a small RV. (My wife isn't much for camping)

I've learned not to tell my wife how long something will take to do out in the garage cause a 15 minute job always ends up with a broken off bolt that you have to drill out and fix or something. So Andre that really was an hour you just thought it took longer <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
