So, my buddy (also my old guitar player) calls me to tell me that he'll be visiting Montreal from Myrtle Beach (last week), and he's gonna make me a cool "one off" gift (knowing I'm a Dime fan). I said I'd throw a few buck$ his way to make some extras, but he won't take money from me. He made two..., so I have one, and I decided to send the 2nd one to Texas. For years now, I've wanted to drive my USA built motorcycle back to it's homeland, South of the border. So today was the day. Here's the journey in pictures:

2 small custom gifts made in Myrtle beach by my buddy Mitchell. No pics available..., but here's some pics of me and Mitch. Mitch made the gifts, he's in the middle:

It's for Mr Rottingcorpse, so I better store it some place safe Laughing Laughing Laughing He'll say that he used rubber gloves to open it..., but he'll probably just sniff it.

Bike and the gift warming up in my driveway, chilly this Morning:

I'd post pics of the gift, but it's a surprise. I'll post some once it arrives South. I tell ya..., if it weren't for family obligations, I would have driven the thing all the way to Arlington!!!
