A local custom builder has let me have some floor space and offered to make me a chop frame, teach me a bit about how to use the machinery and make some parts together. Kinda restores yer faith in Humanity. Stripped the Bike yesterday, one handed, very entertaining. Left handed you see, but only have the use of my right hand Work are gonna settle out of court for causing my breakdown and so I'll be keeping my house after all and building a new life. Got part time work in the custom shop, (a dream come true) Going for a gooseneck frame, girder frot end with 21 inch wheel, Plunger back end, 902cc conversion etc etc. Funny how life sorts itself out around you sometimes. one minute everyones kickin you whist yer down, the next yer ridin hi and everything comes good. Thanks to all of you who PM'd or phoned to cheer me up. I'll be back with some updates soon. The path of excess leads to the Palace of Wisdom

You must be like a kid in a sweet shop working around custom bikes. The only thing now is to sort that jacket out! Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

You will have lots of spare parts going on the boards so that will help in some small way to pay for your new build. Dont forget pictures lots of pictures start a thread showing us all how you are getting on with your project. Glad its coming together for you. I cannot decide whether to be a good example or a horrible warning ! Peace & respect http://www.tomcc.org/gg/ Eric
