The Cost of business...

ARRGHH!
Murphy's law strikes again!  As it is a Holiday weekend, what better way to celebrate then have two of your most vital tools get broken!
YEP!  I know, small worries, but nothing brings a workshop to a dead stand still then having crucial equipment go down...in flames.  Well not "LITERALLY" in flames, I mean seeing as they are not equipment prone to incineration, nor do they require flammable liquids for function, nor caustic or otherwise flammable otherwise....
But it;s the THOUGHT that counts right?
Where was I...?
OH YEA, our last chain breaker AND crank puller bit the dust.  So as NO ONE is open until Tuesday to even get a replacement we're a little stuck!  We did manage to get out two bikes, before the tragedy struck, but that's about it.  I mean when you do FULL tear down, and cleans and you can't soak the chain or re-grease the crank bearings...whats the point in living.
That's rhetorical.  Don't answer that.
So the day started out with a bang, loads ah re-pairs (Thank you kindly) and sold the XR-75 that went out last night.  Thanks to the young man and his folks for visiting!  And thanks to the young couple cleaning out their apartments for bringing in the goodies!  They are already on their way to new lives!  THANKS! Had ALOT of Lookie' Loos, just not much to look at!  Alas!  But as soon as the new week starts we'll be up and running.  And yes we are open on the Forth, so if you're needing a fix (unless it's a chain....ARRGGHH!!) we'll be here!
So it's off for us, y'all have a happy weekend!
