Cheers and Beers!


Lucky enough to live close to Victory - damn near live there (if I could).  Love ALL their beer EXCEPT the plain lager.  For a brewery that puts out a lot of cutting edge beer in terms of taste, their lager is so remarkably ordinary it's a sin

I think the Belgian fruit beer is Bomgarde.  It rocks the house!  All the Belgian beers are great!

Kriek Lambic uses cherrys as fermentables Lambic all have added fruit but they add them in primary pushing strenght of the beer way up. Lambics are all 9% - 13% not a chick beer at all.

Chick or no, I will drink all I encounter.   It actually works out well as my brother won't touch it in the fridge, so I have to drink it all.

I definitely wasn't calling it a chick beer.  Most of the local yokels around here would call it "chick beer" just because of the fruit and their lack of understanding--and unwillingness to stray from their mass produced standards.

I was up at my Pop's today in Va. Beach, and he swung me by the beer store "Total Wine", nice store, they were out of the Bomgarde Lambic but I scored some even better I think, Lindemans, big 1 pt 9.4 oz bottle, man is it good, I got 4 of them, and some victory storm king, plus some Sol and yeungling.  Good trip.

Lindeman - lindeman ... yea, those people did a great one on my suspension too. maybe they put beer in there ...  ...
Cool.

I doubt the Storm King will be around long enough to be your winter time sipper during your rebuild.  You'll definitely need to make another trip!    Just don't mistake it for motor oil when you do your next change!

Ha ha - good un D.
Anyway, the gooped up threads bugged the crap out of ken last year when we did my GS and my savage.
Cool.

Yes, they did . Which is why it took so long to do my F conversion 

I did this a few years back, really fun project. It took one night to tear down(with help), and about a week on and off to put back together(solo). I had about 9 months between teardown and rebuild and got it back together using only a clymer's manual for photos. So its pretty easy I think..

1) Baggy up every bolt and mark it
2) Replace all bearings.
3) Gonna need to tap threads after powder coating ..  think most are threads  8mm x 1.0 or 6mm x .8 ?
