Default Thanks for everything Tim!!!

Saturday I called upon Tim at his home garage. He graciously took time away from working on his B race bike and selflessly hooked me up with some Napoleon bar-end mirrors complete with expert installation, taught me how to do my own oil and filter change, and performed several attentive modifications to my bike:


1) Gifted and installed the Napoleon bar-end mirrors, really transformed the look of the bike, significantly more stylish and decidedly European looking than the stock mickey mouse ear mirrors, and with enhanced functionality.

2) Removed reflectors from the front forks and the rear license plate assembly, which smartly cleaned up the rear view of the bike.

3) Removed some troublesome plastic wrap which had been carelessly left trapped among some hard parts from the original assembly of the bike, that which I had decidedly ignored, painstakingly took apart the bike to get at it.

4) Upgraded the cheap fencing hardware used to affix the license plate to the rear fender to some fine quality metric hex screws, no doubt more appropriate and befitting for a European cultural icon.

Thanks Tim!!! You are a true friend and a class act. I really appreciate all that you have done for me.

Sincerely,

Scott

:-[ Sheesh! You're welcome!! I guess this means that the next time I get my class act :angel: totally trashed > at Rhodeside, I'll still have a sober ride home?

(What Scott didn't mention was that after we were done in the garage, he treated Justin and me to a meal fit for a king at the local Outback.) [thumbsup]

Well I also didn't mention that I will be ordering an aftermarket exhaust for my monster and taking the liberty to ship it directly to your house so I can use your garage [and cheap labor]. Ha! ;D

Here she is, from the front. More stylish and European looking with the Napoleon bar-ends. Looks more aggessive, can't help but imagine seeing a bull when I look at her.

And from the rear she looks as good going and comming, much cleaner than before. Less is more in this case. There is less junk in the trunk :-)
