This day started out great. My check cleared and I'm riding Moop telling him how I'm getting my Titan today for the Schwinn. Suddenly,Moop breaks a chain. Sigh.
So I got a hold of Duane and I go over there.
Here's me with Duane!
Here's my Schwinn on Duane's rack:
Sorry for the blur. I used my camera phone.
If the man with the most toys wins,Duane won. Let's just say...Duane won.
Almost complete.
Then Duane not only handed me my purchase,he insisted on installing it. This man is one in a million. Thru all the excitement my truck decides to let go of my parking brakes and it rolled down the street crashing into another truck. I freaked out,but later I lol'ed. I mean no one was hurt,I have insurance,my rate would probably not go up.
So it was getting late and Duane and I just did it to it,mostly Duane did the work and I helped with handing him tools and stuff and I have to say,Duane made me feel real comfortable,man,like he's been my friend for a long time. The only real snag was the throttle cable being too short for my bike seeing it's a cruiser with the wide handlebars and this also went on a coaster brake and we had some interference with the coaster arm but Duane bent it all up in his vice and cleared the bolts and it really looks nice.Also we took off the rear fender just for measuring. Later,I'll get it back on there.
But the throttle cable Duane's gonna make one for me longer so with that I left my Schwinn in Duane's good hands.
Tomorrow Duane's gonna finish her up. I mean this man is BUZY yet he can take time to make sure my bike is PERFECT.
I can't wait to come back there tomorrow. I'll bring my better camera along this time.
(For the life of me I can't figure out where this thread should go. I guess here is as good as any?)
What's funny is that I had pictured Duane as oriental. He's far from that!
What a day.
