Yeah, it is 28 first thing in the morning but 50 in the afternoon is tee shirt weather  :-)

Goat, I am building a room upstairs for a night watchman to live in so, I'm sure I could find something around here for you to do in the day  :-D

LOL Don't tempt me. You'd show up in the morning and all the parts would be together and ready to ride.

It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.

The hardest part for any new employee is taking apart a perfectly good motorcycle.
When I first started I got up to about 75 bikes because I just couldn't bare to take them apart.
I'm long over it now  :-D

What is really funny is the look on a bike sellers face when they are getting ready to leave our shop after selling us their bike.
One of the first thing we do it take some bolt cutters to the chain.
I have had people literally start yelling and screaming... "WHAT ARE YOU DOING???" "YOUR NOT GOING TO PART IT OUT???"
Yep, that's what we do  :-D
Then I tell them, "Just think about it this way. You have enjoyed you bike for years. Now, we are going to help about 50 other people feel the same way about their bike."
It doesn't usually help  :cry:

Thanks on the shop.
We have a few more weeks to go but we are getting there..

The Insulation is going in today.
The City inspector is suppose to be out today so we can get the sheeting on.
We'll see...

As I was watching the contractor put the insulation up in the ceiling I was reminded why I like doing bikes.  :lol:
We had a City inspector out at noon but I wasn't able to find out what the story was.
I'll find out Monday.
Right now it looks like we have the drywall to do, bath fixtures, bicycle parking inside and out side, fire extinguishers, parking lot paint, tire bumpers, handicap hardware, some signs that read, "Do not stack anything above the red line by order of the fire Marshall." Finish electrical, Cable internet, set up the network, build the work benches, paint, and start moving parts in.
Should have it all done by tomorrow morning at 9  :-D
