Just venting here...Well 3 weeks ago, Monday, I gave my tins to the painter for a new paint job and I'm STILL waiting. He told me a week when I gave it to him but it's been one reason after another as to why I don't have it back yet. It's been the most beautiful weather lately and missing the PRIME riding time is killing me. I went back by the painters two days ago on Monday and it was finally coming together. I will be picking it up on Monday of next week...FINALLY...and will have to re-learn how to ride a bike it's been so long  . Anyway, I'm excited to hear I will be getting it back but it's been killing me that I haven't been able to ride  .

Chris, just curious.......who did you take it to?
I've got a front fender I want to get painted but have held off so far this year.
Can't wait to see your pictures of the old "Mike Bike" with new paint.

I took it to a friend of mine, Tony. If you need a front fender painted, let me know and I'll get a quote for you. It will be very reasonable. This guy went to school with my Dad, was his best man, and they still hang out...so he's someone to be trusted. He uses House Of Kolor paint on the bikes he does.

Yeah I usually wait until winter to do any mods that will render the bike unrideable. What are you getting done, anything crazy?
