david-
well, you are right, but the guy , well, i think he's pretty much given up
on alot of things. his "computer" is a 386, and not EVEN internet capable,
he lives in a converted garage, and his wife [all 345 lbs. of her] is a
hypocondriac [a LOUD one, too!] he thinks of his 15 year old pickup truck as
"new", well, ya know?
i am not really a good friend, either, or else i wouldn't have told ya
this stuff. just ask ian- i am really a dick-head, but i love motoguzzi, and
this project is gonna get goin', somehow, and tom is gonna own it when it's
done. case-closed!
happy holidays,
andy

| hi guys- dave is right- i need a project, and fortunately have one on the bench, but i guess the only way it'll happen is to ask for help, here. firstly, i have a buddy who's been riding as long as i have [32 years], but is really behind the 8 ball, financially. he's a really great guy, just can't seem to get it togehter [gee, that sounds familiar!] he currently rides a clapped out cb750, which has been on it's last legs for a long time. anyhow, i have a titled ambo frame w/swingarm, an engine [no starter], |
| trans., seat, xhaust system, but need everything else. [wheels, frontend, gastank, reardrive,u-joint, & front fender]. does anyone know of a source for these parts? no, not ebay! i'm GIVING this stuff to the dude, already. what i need is cheap parts. rusty, dented, broken, ugly stuff is fine, ok? they might even end up that way, anyhow. i was sort of thinking that if i built the guy a decent ambo, maybe his attitude, or expectations of life might improve [hopefully], plus it would give me something to do. heck, maybe i would stay away from the beer/computer! [now, That's a great combo!] thoughts/ideas????? thanks much, andy Hello Andy, This guy is lucky to have you as a friend, but wouldn't his self-esteem profit even more from being more directly involved in the project...particularly when he sees the generosity of others like those who have replied to you already. Probably more difficult than doing the work yourself, I accept, at least at first, but it would get him away from his computer and he would see something from his own hands and observe your accomplishment too. |
