OK!......That's a wrap on tonight's late night finish off the 4 wheeler session!
No......its not done but yours truly ruptured a gas line sending a good 5 gallons across the shop floor. Yes folks, I take pride in my work and feel I am above average at my craft but whoopsie daisies do happen ya know.
The line itself wasn't so much ruptured as the fitting connecting line to tank was pushed out as I was wrastling a motor back into its cradle.....By the time I had scrambled to get a catch for all this full gas tank gushing everywhere.....well.....twas but a drip by then,
Thanks goodness for mops, Special Kitty brand cat litter, a big ol' shop fan to suck the fumes out the back door and an in house warshin machine to wash and wash again all the gas soaked rags, mop heads and towels that were used to contain the spill.
On the plus side we have a really clean section of shop floor now!

Newer old
So i was asked where the blog post to end all blog posts was....hmm....writers cant be rushed. Maybe this one is it I dunno. Probably why I never got serious about a career with words....me and deadlines and editors don't mix too well. Whatever.
Here is what I do know. Parts galore came in today, plenty of work orders waiting to be finished as soon as I check in all said parts and double check the price is right, no not the TV show, the parts.
A bike went up for sale today that I would just love to own but alas I am sure it would end up owning me as material items seem to do that. Yes, this blog may just bounce all over all around up and down, its OK. Just please don't criticize my grammar, its meant to be phun round here OK, I mean, most folks go into the motorcycle business because they are passionate about motorcycles and for no other reason. I took a huge cut in pay to get back into the bike biz several years ago and never felt more satisfied.
Oh yeah......the bike for sale, Hugh Owings of Hugh's Handbuilt put this up for auction recently. If you got the scratch you should buy it, help a good local feller out in fulfilling his vision too. We fulfill our vision by helping other peoples fill theirs.....http://www.ebay.com/itm/291077483123?forcerRptr=true&item=291077483123&viewitem
