Hairy

Thanks Just need to get my other bike out the workshop so that I have a rolling bike while the HD gets these upgrades.

What are the chances that one of you have a clutch cable and outer for a Dyna that is a little longer than std. Looking to get a set of riser bars for the Fat Bob to get me sitting more upright with my back, and need to replace the clutch cable, got a throttle cable today and then extend the brake hose too. Hopefully there is enough slack in the wire loom for the controls when I raise the bar height.

Got another voice note, after about a weeks messages being ignored. "Hi, XXXXXX. Um, ja sorry. I was just, uh, had a family member pass away. I'm on my way back from Swellendam now, uh, from the funeral. Um, so ja. Um, I'm just in search, I found a... You know last time with the flywheel story where the flywheel was ****** up and all of that? WhichXXXX, uh, gave another flywheel but it was a 640 one. But the ignition curve, the pickup is completely wrong for 640 versus 65. So I found another flywheel for it, um, that the guy is willing to trade. So I'll go pick that up tomorrow and, um, ja. Then I can put it in and then it's all good, which is all complete. Everything is just, uh, the starter cover's off so I could just swap the flywheel around. Then it's all sorted." So let's see .... if I get really lucky I have a new toy for the Dec. holidays coming up.

More than a week after being told that he will try and get the bike done that night, I am still waiting and there has been no response to 8 messages after this. You get excited, and then you get disappointed again.

morning Erica, please reach out to me via private message and I can then exchange numbers with you. I have unfortunately become a slackard and work from home since covid, but I can then put you into contact with our old WhatsApp group and hopefully someone travels the same time as you.

This past Friday, and for the 21 year, a husband and wife team have put together a Christmas ride / event for the kids at the Red Cross Oncology ward, this year was my second ride for them. It is not possible to describe the feelings running through you, a mixture of extreme joy and sadness for these little ones. We also contribute monetarily to the event for gifts, etc for the kids so that they can have a happier Christmas. All you need is a Harley with a sissy bar and spare helmet to join in if you want Below clip is from one of the riders who came along. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRnWmLNCB3R/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Are any of you riff raff going to be doing the Overberg Toy Run this weekend? If you are, look out for me

That is sexy, and must pull like a freight train.

All good. I do think we will eventually cross the finish line ok. Took a closer look at the pics. The small crevices of the motor look to be really clean. He would not have cleaned the engine other than if he did split the casings to flush and clean it properly. So being positive here.

Reached out to this guy now, I suspect I know where he got the parts from and have sent this guy the parts co's info so he can reach out to them and see if this was one of theirs. My guess is that the mechanic owes them money, and he does not want to make contact with them again.

After asking for more than a week now, I finally got the following from him this morning.
