Do you practice safe scooting?

Post by jbcollier »

As many of you know, my D's frame broke during the Jaguar's poker rally. Thank goodness I was surrounded by friends who not only helped me out, but spotted the trouble before it got really serious.

It turns out the frame has been cracked for a long time as you can see from this photo of the broken off section:

Note the extensive rusting! There wasn't much metal left holding it on!

Great to hear, it's too bad that the season is winding down.

Nicely done John, is there anything that you can't do? I mean really, is there? And no, what your lovely wife might say does not count :P

The welding was not pretty, not pretty at all.

I would have but it was a bit of a fluke that I was doing the work at all. Next time, the club's trailer for example, for sure.
