Alright so maybe I missed last Friday , but now it’s this Friday again ! Frame and swing arm and a box with 18 misc pieces all to be media blasted and powder coated in grey. As close as I can match the oem grey frame. That is tomorrows mission it’s ten minutes away , gitr dun ! So what else is coated , hubs , backing plates , rear fender , small parts. Leaving front fender , tank & side covers in original paint. Rear fender was rough I removed most of the dents , left a couple for the look. Not a lot of rear fender is visible so I had to pick 2 small dents in visible areas , it will look old in a hurry any ways !
I doubt I’ll see it back before Christmas , but I’ll be waitin on his call !

I did it , half pint is at the powder coater. I felt like I left my first born child at school for the first time. A definite attachment to this bike. He made no promises on a date , just grumbled hopefully by Christmas. I’m not gonna be disappointed if it doesn’t happen. But I’ll be hella busy Christmas night if I get the call. Hella exciting , I’m truly ill and have no life. Time to reseal & polish the engine. Intake & exhaust is done and ready. Cool

I might drop into radio silence while it’s all out to P/C. Want to get a going on the engine. Windy raining & thunder n lightning today. Warm up the garage and tear down & inspection. Krammed a bunch of crap this past week to have day to gitr dun ! A day with nothing else planned , shush don’t let the wife hear that , I’m sure she has a list that I don’t want to know about. Me me me me me me ! Grin

I’ll be back !

Half Pint is still at the powder coater. Engine is in progress. It’s all come to a halt. My best buddy that held on to Half Pint for me for over forty years before giving it back lost his 6 year battle with cancer. I am crushed after a 50+ year friendship , seem to have lost all my drive. Time to grieve , get right in the head. He fought the good fight and now it’s time to rest.
R.I.P. Brother , meet you at Eldorado
