      Ok now that you have seen the picture, here's what happened. I was putting a new set of brakes on my truck and I was coming around from the back and I tried to step over the XS engine block at the same time I was turning....I was in a hurry and tried to move too fast. Somehow my shoe got impaled on one of the studs. Ok now I am stuck! No option but to fall over , then I became really stuck, there was enough twist to roll the engine up slightly, so there was pressure pulling both ways, my body on one side and the XS engine on the other. The leather sneaker would not pull up off the threaded portion of the stud. I tried to get my foot out but that didn't work either, it took a couple of minutes but finally got the shoe to pull up off the stud.

      Moral of the story, I got to much stuff! Everthing for sale! (No Kidding) Below is the link to the ad in the classifieds section.

              I could use a 'new' tank for my 81 Midnight, black of course, in ready to run shape, hopefully.
