    Fred...
    Da-Bubble lives in Oklahoma... About 1,500 miles from me.
    I'm pretty confidant that he won't show up any time soon, free bike or not.
    What kind of fool do you take me for?
    (yes, there are more than one kind)

    Hardly in dire straits, Ray.
    Before I go sellin' any of my bikes for food... I've still got 6 months worth of ramon noodles in my "Earthquake/Volcano/ Race Riot/ Plague/ Meteor strike" emergency supplies that I can live offa.
    Hell, if worse comes to worse, I can aways get a job... but that thought sort of chills me.

      It's times like these.....

      I wish I was filthy rich instead of just filthy. Imagine the look on prom's dial if I turned up at his place with a heater under on arm and a clymers under the other

        I'm imagining the look on your face when you see the present condition of my garage!

          Hi Pro,
          do you suppose that an Australian cannot use a shovel? One of the more printable epithets for an Australian is "Digger"

            Hmmmmm....

            Being as I have family and grew up (grew older anyway) in your neck of the woods... another Okie would like to have the same offer!


            A couple hours after arrival, you wouldn't be griping about the shape your garage was in... it would be everything thrown out in the drive that would piss you off!

              I did build models and have an erector set, thank you very much!!! And most of my questions were not how to reassemble but rather to fix something while I had it apart!

              Judging by the fact that it took me about 6-months start to finish while working full time and going to school full time, and I only disassembled mine down to the motor and frame....I figure your project would only take me about 5 years or so.

              Hey I do know somebody has already tackled the daunting task of matching up the correct fenders to wheels! You're off to a good start!

                Speaking of erector sets. (That sounds funny) Now I feel lucky that I played with an old erector set. AWESOME stuff. You could do ANYTHING with those. Much better than legos.
