precarious perch

Well both tires and rims are now off the bike, and it's sitting on some stands, and a bucket.......

Lets hope she don't fall over by the time I get the new rubber on, and them rims back in place....







I don't even want to breathe in the garage......

Man that's just one pretty bike GK, evenin it's current state. Once the new rubber is on, how much more till ride day?

[GateKeeper]

Saturday

the rubber goes on in the morning, going to stop by sypug's place for lunch since he is just around the corner, then come home, put the rims back on, slap the tank on, the seat, and fire her up and take it at least around the block......

no current plate or insurance at the moment, so I can't go far....

then the tins will come off and be sent out for painting, will order my decals as well, and button it up hopefully in a week or so....

getting close and getting excited......

Expecting to hear good news tomorrow

[spyug]

Well if he's going to try and ride tomorrow I better keep him out of the lunchtime "joy juice".

Do you think he'd notice if I swapped wheels with him. See I figure I ply him full of booze and food, he takes an after lunch siesta and I do the ol switcheroo

By the time he figures it out I'll have sold the bike.....at least that's the plan.

I'll let you know how that works out. I'm looking forward to seeing those skins.

cheers,
spyug

I am PI$$ED.....right about now......

the lead I had on getting this done, has not called me back to confirm, a few PM's, a text message to him, but no reply......

So unfortunately I am gong to a place out in TO, and hopefully they are not slammed with work, and I will be able to get this done and out of the way...

So spyug, your plan will not work at all, and I am out a lunch and some good boozing....within moderation, of course..

I hate flakes, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt, as I don't know the reason for his not getting back to me.

ohhhhh well

crap......

[GateKeeper]

Well just got a text from this guy...2 in the morning....that we are good for Saturday at 11.....

I reply back, saying OK, and nothing back after that,,,,some real strange guy this one is...

ohhhh well, gonna give it a shot, and if all goes well, I'll be at your place spyug right after I am done getting the skins installed...

see ya at lunch....

Cheers
