Default A 996 Story - Pete's Odyssey

This came out in the December Panaroma - Pete's Odyssey. A great story and a good read from one of our fellow Rennlisters, with help from Jake. Amazing how it turned out.

Pete is a great guy.. His trip was epic. He had such a great time attending the class, and was so enthused to get Home and build his engine....Then, bang! It was all over.

I like difficukt instamces, and challenges... So I decided to tackle this even though I really didn’t have the time to do it.

The only problem with that story, is it makes me look like a nice guy... Now I’ll have all sorts of people wanting favors and free work!

The story doesn’t go over all the “extra curricular” things that Pete got to experience by hanging out with us for a few days... I am sure that his life has changed forever...

To make it better, Pete is an Engineer, so he may or may not have been constantly exposed to smart assed comments, ridicule, and borderline hazing while hanging out with me.... Like I said, he came into our world, and hats an off the grid world in many ways...

Default Can't turn the page..

Can't find how to turn the page of the magazine when I use the link. Is the trick that PCA membership is required?

Great excuse to join the PCA, thanks for the motivation and what a story. I have plans to hit The Tail in 2018 in the pcar as I’ve only done it on two wheels. Don’t worry Jake, I have no plans to call you after!
