Re: parting out 1200's / who's who
Hello Kevin, but is it a 2002. Customer does not want to repaint. Good used in same color to get the bike ready to sell. He also needs a rear crash bar for the right rear side. He really done a number on it and on his arm, requiring stitch's . Drivers here in NJ have been plum crazy and very aggressive and phone use seems to be every other car you see. No one stays in their own lane , very bad accidents every day here. I have been getting most of the work and parts here locally. But all my sources have dried up. I am down to just these two items and I can put a number on this job and get it out the door before its gets to cold to ride it. I do not have my trailer completed well enough to carry a bike yet. And the weather here has turned cold and damp.
I may , I think , get caught in the rain on the way up to Lake George, Giving myself a few days to get there as I am not going to push it . I want a nice 10 days off, no wet roads no heavy traffic. Work has taken its toll on me this summer between the welding fumes and the three to six finish sanders going all day. Taking the long way up and may even go further inland if weather is nasty.
See ya'll soon. I hope we have a better turn out than what the post here shows who's coming.
How have sales been doing for you, I have been selling more fender inserts than anything else and , well there is no money in them. Had to increase the price , not worth it to set up for just three sets a month on average.
Well If I get good weather I will be at one of the cheep motels until check in on the 18th, I just need to get away and ride, ride , ride....
See ya on the 18th.

Ps. customer will pay shipping ,if you have what he needs. I am not pulling the trailer. Marie is not coming so flying solo and light weight.....

thanks Kim. Good parts are getting somewhat more scarce here in NJ
