Late nighters---unite!!!

[rhino 2]

I wish every business operated the way you operated yours. The world would be a better place if they did.

I don't think many business can now days' I was a one man shop, I started out as an apprentice, The first 6 months without any salary... Then the next year at 40 dollars a week. Then slowly honed my trade.
When i finally started making some good money...1964 into 1965....I got a letter from Johnson ''Greetings'' Salary went down to 93 dollars a month, Got a raise in Nam 178 a month... Worked for my old boss for a year or two after i got out' Then i opened my own shop And for many years worked 6 days a week' Leaving my house at 4:30 Am and getting back home at 8/9 Pm... My Credo was finish the job when promised and do it right every-time, Even if meant turning down other work...And thats why my customers kept coming back to me year after year... And paying my relative high prices...

I would say 'not soon enough', but I don't want to wish my life away. It'll come in due time.

Yeah, the Victory fanboys don't like being second string to Indian.

It wound't surprise me if Polaris is going to use Victory as their sports bike line...
Like Harley tried with Buell a few years back...:Shrug:

 

[MikeyTX]

Could be. Nothing in this industry surprises me anymore.

 

[consitter]

Another night at werk....

 

[BillR]

Are you still riding around in the truck?

 

[consitter]

Yessir!

 

[BillR]

Did you go anywhere while you were off? I thought you mentioned a camping trip.

 

[consitter]

Did you go anywhere while you were off? I thought you mentioned a camping trip.

Nope. Stayed around the house except for the 2 trips to the drive-in theater. It takes about an hour and a half to get there.

I'll probably take a sick day before the summer is over to go again.

 

[consitter]

In for another night of fun, fun, FUN!!

 

[consitter]

In for another night of fun, fun, FUN!!

And the way it looks--all by my lonesome.

You'd think everybody is out riding or something. :Shrug:
