Some day I am going to find a newer bike like a Honda Shadow VLX 600 that's a real good deal and owned by some idiot that barely drove it and left it sit in a nice warm garage for the past year without touching it. And now it won't run and they don't know why. Last year I was going to design a t-shirt for the Harley Owners Group in the Upper Peninsula and then some idiot thought their grand daughter could do it cheaper. Long story short the woman organizing it called me back to see if I could work on her bike so she could sell it and I got there and all I had to do was drain the gas out of the carbs and it fired up.  The bike sat there in the garage for two years not running and the woman had even trailerd it to the Harley dealership to be worked on several times and they couldn't fix it. Oh yeah the T-shirt looked like crap. A squirrel with crayons could have done better. 1979 Honda Cx500 Custom    Report
