TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge Part XIII
Evening woods
As you know I dont type or spell well but its been a good week , I got the new clutch in and tested it - working great , tuning the new motor needs some love , surging decel pop etc I can do a few auto tune runs and get it to the dyno so I should be good to go
Now the story , I have a friend who has always been the black sheep of his family , always worked at labor jobs ,no education per say , gave up on life when his younger sister was killed by a drunk driver 40 years ago . Never asked for a thing always lived alone , He lives just outside of town , no power , no heat just a woodstove and a generator . Never saw him dirty , clothes were always clean and one of the most intelligent men I have ever known.
You want to talk about ancient history he can talk about it , politics well what do you want to know .
Well he just inherited a million dollars and the local rift rats have been all over him , He trusts me , so far we have bought a house , small and well with in his life style so all good .
He has never had anything new in his life , He owns a 49 Panhead and a 09 soft tail and wanted a new bike so he phoned our local HD dealer 100 miles away and bought a new SGS when He told me I looked at the paper work and lost it . Phoned the dealer and let loose one them They charge him for everything plus . When I calmed down I had $2000 knocked off the price , free service and extended warranty
We are driving up tomorrow to pick up the bike and the salesman asked if I would be ok or should they have the cops there , I told him yes because I dont do well with thieves or ***********
The price included free delivery but after the money was transferred they left him a message at 5 pm
that they couldnt deliver till the 31st
I Thanked my buddy for his trust as I haven't had this much fun in years
Should be a good day tomorrow LOL

Halito Wooders, Toakers, Posers, and Lurkers. Dave, good of you to help your buddy. I hope things don't take a downward spiral for him. The scammers, beggers, wannabe's sure know when someone get some extra $$$. Hope you can help him with finances. Although the way you describe him, he prolly has a damned good idea and plan of what to do!!! You are a good friend. Wish more people would be like you!!!
Anyhow, this Lurker has the coffee on, grab a cup. Getting things around for work..... posed to have rain today, but looking like we might just get some sprinkles or very light rain. Be careful out there. The idiots are out for us!!! Lurker out!!
