Dream Shop Day

[Long Tall]

So a couple of years ago, I became friends with a guy here in Lynchburg that has a MC repair shop on the side. He has it next to his garage. He did ride HD's but is a Wing owner now, but does mostly HD repairs. Anyway, this is where I have been working on Big Red. Today was installation and balance new tires, clean and grease spline, hub, gear drive and all other gears. Change oil and filter. Check tightness of all bolts and add Blue Loc-tite as needed. Change brake and clutch fluid.

 

He had never changed tires on a Yamaha RSV and kept saying how easy things were versus the HD's.

 

I printed out the picture instructions from the tech articles and he was impressed with those also. While the tires were off I changed angle/location of rear valve stem to high side of bike and added 90 degree stem to the front.

 

Used his garage a few months ago to add the shorter shock links (no charge). So I ask him to let me pay him for this time and shop use today and his charge, $40! He did take into consideration the box of 50 count 45 Caliber bullets I brought for him from my stash for his new Kimber full size Stainless II.

 

Everyone needs a Bud like this that likes working with Bikes and lives less than 20 minutes away. I NEVER bent over once to do anything for the whole afternoon. I'm a lucky guy and know it.

 

PS. We got through and the wives had fixed us homemade ice cream.
