Hi Everyone, thanks for the warm welcome.

I added some info to my profile, but I will add more here.
Just a few months ago I retired from working for Goodyear Canada for 30 years in a tire factory. I'm a Millwright/Industrial Electrician, so I know how to swing big hammers. I've worked on motorcycles and cars all my life, still have too many of each. My wife worked for Canadian Cancer Society as a Clinical Trials Co-ordinator for many years. We have 2 shelties at the moment, they are the best, how many dogs can fit in a GMC?

We bought the beast last week, unfortunately it's too tall to fit through my garage door and I haven't found inside storage (everything is full), so I think I'll throw a tarp over it and park in the backyard for this winter. My priority is mechanical and electrical systems, as well as the water leak. Of course, it's too cold to do any of that now.

So, I'll soon be asking about CV boot covers, airbag systems, roof sealing, etc.
I have some friends who are truck and coach mechanics, they can help me out if I need it. I have a fairly well equipped garage and no problem with buying more tools if needed.

BTW, anyone else into dual-sport motorcycling? Autocross?

Burl
