Sitting out here in the shop with nothing to do. Still waiting on parts to arrive for a couple bikes that need finishing but not sure when those will arrive. Had part of another one show up yesterday, but wont start it until the fenders arrive. Thinking seriously about stripping the mustang & painting it. Just hate to start it & something else happen thats stops me with it half stripped. Decisions, decisions...

As you have nothing to do, can you have a look in your shop for a 10 stud head with straight inlets for a 79 T140E Triumph. I scored this beauty for 2.5k, but it has the head with the splayed inlets. I have looked everywhere in Oz without luck and was told to try the USA

Hey Steve, I've still got the wife's fender to fix if you want some work for next week. She's flying to SF for the week to be with her brother (health issues) and now I'm rushing down to N.O. Sat. to see my brother who is bad off so we won't be using it for a week at least.

I can drop it by Fri. some time if you want the cash work for next week. Car can sit outside if you need (hell, that's where it is at my house..).

speaking of barns, I found these little guys in my shed today.

took them up to the wildlife rescue & this fella greeted us at the door. he is about the size of your hand & was hit by a car & is cockeyed. tried to get a video of him hissing, but each time I started recording, he would stop.

What parts do you need?
I have a friend in Florida with Enfields and Sunbeams
