Marcel

He learned everything from me...and is a master sledge hammer operator...lol. Think most likely they wanted someone younger and would be around for wyll....he has a good temperment for it...and they could mold him to their system I guess...older guys are hard headed and don't like being told how to do things...including myself...

Anyway boys im pretty well stoked at the moment knowing the fruit of my loins will be molding the minds of youths for the next 30 years or so...lol. Thinking back it wasn't easy at time , but this makes it all worth wyll at the end...all that Im missing now is grandkids...

Really wasn't expecting this at all...he mentioned that he was applying for the job about a month ago , has he was going against older guys with more experience thought his chances were slim to say the least, has he's only writing his final exam in 2 weeks..lol , he's not even a red seal technician yet...lol....must have made a real good impression with the teachers and on the interview...has they contacted him a day after the job interview to tell him he got the job...work conditions are excellent...summers off...all the holidays..pension...not to mention the pay increase compared what he was making at the Kia dealership...

Think your French might need some work...lol.

Its in French...lol...Basically just says...congratulations, we'd like to offer you the teaching job for the auto repair course .. .

So happy and proud at the moment...my boy Patrick applied for a teaching job at the community College and got the job...

Guys were paying ridiculous money for those things back 15 to 20 years ago...he'd be lucky to get 8 or 9 Canadian funny money for it now....think the fellow in question paid 25 and that's some year's ago...

Its definitely a trailer qween...lol...with the seat that's on it...if you can call that a seat..lol.

Stop by Dan's repairshop...and this monstrosity was sitting there...lol.....I guess the thing sold for 125 thousand , state side and it supposedly wone a few bike shows during the crazy chopper years...

Do you think these also leak oil ?

Looks like the entire front end snap off...Harley frame ?

Smoking Harleys since 1901......lol

Im just crossing my fingers nothing bad will happen like flipping the truck on it's side..it's a big outfit company and they've been to give chances here and there...driver s are in short supply at the moment...

One of my boys has finally found himself a full time job...its been a week now , operating a 10 wheel dirt dump truck..was on probation for 4 days with a supervisor on board, last Friday they let him solo...been really hard to find someone or a company to give him a try , has most ask for a few years of experience to start with...long hours, from sun up to down...11 to 12 hours per day...with experience under his belt, probably better places or conditions will eventually pop up...my other boy is finishing his red seal in a few weeks at the community College at the moment..he's coming over this morning to use my garage to replace a wheel bearing on his pickup truck...its a long weekend for us here ...there is a few openings at the college we're he's at , and his teachers have recommended that he applies for the job...they are looking for candidates who are are up to date with the new cars , has all except one are all at retirement age now...

How embarasing ......lol... I just don't get these guys its like a bunch weekend bikers who try to pretend they are 1% .....

No not today...lol...a tour of coffee shops with the lone wolfs...lol.....it's probably the last time Im joining those guys...they stop to offend like for 30 min for breacks...

Well 22c on the forecast...sunny and no wind....definitely will be going out riding with the Tim's Angles...lol.

That's quite the overhaul Bob...nice work.

Yes have to agree it's not a comfortable bike for 3000 miles..lol...mostly just hold more of a sentimental value for me now...sold the bike 4500 bucks when I acquired the 22 1290..comfort wize it was a little better but it was a rolling laptop on wheels , not to mention it let me stranded on the side of the road a few time...and the old 950 found it's way back home after the fuel pump failed on it ...luckily that owner didn't have time to trash it before it broke down and it sat for and entire year ...having no one who wanted to work on the thing I was able to buy it back after running into the fellow at the shop...for 2500 buck...I think it was a steal...lol...he was just glad to get rid of it...

That's what I keep hearing from guys that rode them in the pass...I haven't ridden one yet kinda curious to test it out..dam thing is rated at 145hp and it's tiny....

Going to Jean's place in a wyll to help him install some forward controls on a old 2003 vmax 4 that he picked up this winter...the bike is in half decent shape...ill try to snap a few pics...I keep telling him...you better be careful when you take that thing out...has he never ridden anything else than a Harley...I think he's in for a surprise...lol.

That's not a valid excuse...lol. Anyway I've just ordered everything I need for the fix...everything is still available surprisingly....who knows i might find the time...if we get a week of crap weather...but being retired now...think Im getting kinda lazy...lol....im due for my morning nap...lol.

Taken you long enough....lol.. what's the hold up...parts are slow to come in ?

Just don't have the time or the will to do it now...lol...im afraid that it will be sitting in my garage with parts spread out everywheres for a month or two....has Im riding the indian 90% of the time...

Not sure exactly what this one has into it...it will be the third time that it's service...im keeping a close eye on the coolant overflow tank for now if I notice any level changes it will be parked...
