“You new around here pilgrim? You’re kinda far from home aren’t you? I couldn’t help but notice you seem pretty green. I thought maybe I’d give you a hand before you go and kill yourself. “
Well I guess all my floundering has attracted attention. Haha! The man from Baraboo rode up the other day and just kinda casually mentioned, “ You know I just happen to have an XS2 cylinder already bored with matching pistons laying around, looking for a home. If you know anybody interested?”
WHAT WHAT WHAT ??? I couldn’t open my wallet fast enough! He must’ve taken pity on me, watching from afar.
Either that or he was cringing , waiting for me to mangle my old , hard to come by cylinder. Either way, a deal was struck, new parts coming my way, my old parts going to Wisconsin for exchange.
I would just like to say thanks to Gary for taking pity on this old greenhorn shade tree mechanic. This just made my life a whole bunch easier and sped up this process to boot. I’ve still got a long way to go, and a lot to learn, but there is movement once again!
A couple of photos of what’s coming my way.
Yeee! Haaaa! Life is good!
