steveb leatherworks: the blather

I saw this on the COC blog, believe it was posted by noot.  Kind of stopped me for a few reasons. The bike…a basket of a Sportster, a baby, a young wife…like this chap didnt have enough going on…right?  He took on the rebuild of this bike himself, hmmm, looks to me like he has a new house too, a  fresh basement to work on his basket case baby in the off-hours when he isn’t working to support his family…  doing it yourself is what you do when your not a rich guy, getting some help from your pals, if you’re lucky….the parts are expensive enough, forget about paying for labor!!

Looks like the wife gets it too….she knows how important this rusty-ass, grease caked wreck in boxes is to her guy… she cant begin to count the hours he has “wasted” on this junk heap, but she’d never in a million years say anything… cuz, well it wouldn’t be right… he’s had this bike since before he’d met her… they’ve shared good times on this bike and she knows one day it will be her son’s.
