soooooooooooo way back in october i put my truck in the shop, to have a custom motor built, i finally got it back 3 weeks ago, i put a whole 75 miles on the truck, before one of my heads collasped, and it was ugly, bent push rods, bent studs, collasped valve springs, were talikng ugly. so the shop picked up my truck and ther are fixing it for me at no cost. but i an still with out a truck. they are waiting for for the maker of my heads to warranty them out. taking a deep breath. the funny thing about all of this, is this machine shop is very reputabel. i know people thta have takin there rides ther an have been very happy, myself included. the owner said in all his life he has never had one be such a pain in his ass, every thing that could possably go wrong has. and i really do feel his pain as well.
dam i miss my truck on the flip side
i have logged more than 3000 miles on the harley, since the truck went down
i have had to indure cold weather, rain, and so much dam fog that i feel truley
weatherd.........
knocking on wood, atleast the bike has been running good!!!!
i am now through with my pitty party, taking a deep breath
as i look at the fog outside, knowing i have to ride into town.......
thanks for listening

TRG | Crap occures, similar problem here with a heater core in a Mustang Convertable. I only drive a car when absolutely necessary. Hope everything works out for you and the guy doing the work.  | |
