Previous Bikes & Store Updates

It’s one other Fourth of July, and whereas we’re celebrating the signing of the Declaration of Independence, I believed it was a very good time to submit an replace on what’s been happening round right here. Issues are type of hectic however I’m lastly getting the store again collectively and dealing on previous bikes once more.

Initially my plan after shifting to the brand new location was to shut my store to the general public and focus strictly on restoring my inventory pile of private initiatives which were gathering mud for a while now.

At this level I’ve no plans to supply any extra providers to the general public, I at present have a big backlog of promised restorations which were delayed so I’m not accepting any new commissions right now. If I’ve already agreed to do a motorbike for you, it will likely be accomplished and it will likely be a present successful magnificence. As soon as the entire different peoples bikes which can be already within the pipeline are accomplished, the plan is to revive the buildup of cool previous bikes which can be gathering mud within the corners of my store and different buildings on the property.

Earlier this yr I turned very sick and was out of labor for two months. Whereas this was considerably of a monetary hardship particularly after shopping for a brand new home and shifting, it additionally led me to the belief that I’m now nearer to the top of my life than to the start of it. The phrase “I’ve the remainder of my life to complete issues,” has turn out to be “I solely have the remainder of my life to complete issues.” A sobering actuality particularly when mixed with diminished bodily power and endurance.

4 and one half weeks in the past I obtained approval from the county code inspector to get energy related to the store so I may have adequate electrical service to run the tools and get again to work. As of at this time (7/4/2022) I’m nonetheless ready on the electrical firm to come back and join the ability. They’re most likely ready on the transformer that can be wanted for the set up. Sadly all of American business is designed and arrange for a “simply in time” supply and manufacturing mannequin that’s not viable. All of us must be affected person, adapt to our new actuality and discover away to work round the issue. As soon as my energy is related I’ll announce it right here and open the store again up.

Despite the fact that new weblog posts have been scarce, (my apologies for that) earlier than shifting I used to be extremely busy and turned out a number of very good initiatives that In poor health share with you within the coming months. Hopefully you’ll take pleasure in seeing them once I get them posted. Along with restoring some extra of the previous bikes, I’ve bought one more new motorbike and can be doing a brutally trustworthy overview of it very quickly.

Peace, love and hope to everybody on the market, the long run could appear a bit murky proper now however we’ll all get by means of it one way or the other and proceed to be affluent and glad.
