The Nut

    Finally, the nut is on the bolt.  No more ringy, dingy, ringy and worry about something falling off the bottom of the bike.  I still don't know exactly what this bolt holds on but I won't worry about it any longer.

  The nut (fastener, as Classic Motor Works calls it) CMW sent was a big honker nylox that wouldn't fit in the space available but the threads looked right.  Brother-in-law, Bob, came up yesterday PM with his grinder and ground off enough to get it square with the end of the bolt.  After that it was just a matter of getting wrenches, vise-grips, channel-locks, etc on everything and snuging it up.  Shouldn't have to worry about it coming off with the nylox.

  Today is a ROMEO ride to Towanda, KS, more on that later.
