Indy
Here's my latest project. I've had this bike for a few months now and until recently I haven't done much to it. I wanted to go all out and do a big build but after much thought I've decided to go a more economical route and do a modest build. Short and sweet if you will with the routine basics.
First things first, Andrew (Mothgils) found this bike on clist local to us here in Indy, shot a handful of texts with the guy and all seemed normal with nothing out of the ordinary, hard to tell how people are through text but he seemed legit. We pile up in the truck and head to the bike. When we get there we see the front door of his house is wide open, the back of his van was open and the bike was just sitting in the driveway. I knocked on the door jam and got no answer... Hmmm... text the guy... nope... Hmmm... Call him and he answers, ok, this is getting strange, I'm about to get raped. He says I'll be right OUT. So yeah ok, he's taking a bad shit or something and just dropped everything in a panic to blow ass chunks all over the porcelain. A couple minutes go by and we are just hanging out in the driveway and I see this guy that looks all methed out riding down the street on what looks to be a stolen BMX with no shirt or shoes, I jokingly said hey there he is... Then he pulled in the driveway and it was. This dude stank of elderberry and 3 week old cabbage. Missing more teeth than me I went ahead and committed and made the deal and walked away without getting raped.
The bike has some obvious cosmetic issues but mechanically and electrically everything is there and for the most part those parts are unmolested. Super clean wire harness and the bike in general was in ok shape just needing someone who knew a little about nothing to help make it breath again.
The day I got it/her/him/this thing
