Hello again,
Tomorrow is Christmas Day. My family traditionally spends the day together exchange gifts and put the feed bag on.
On Christmas Eve i usually go to the in-law's parents house for the festivities .
Not this year.... :mad:- were gonna stay on lockdown- for many reasons- mainly for the health of our older family members.
we have made other arrangements to get gifts to the peoples , and have sent Christmas Cards, we'll also be face-timing.
it's not the same, but we'll get through and we look forward to brighter days ahead.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!


My son has no idea about his present yet.
i have kept it at the shop until this morning.
i brought it home and sneaked it into the garage, unbeknownst to the wee lad.
i took some photos of the bike after my road dog, the venerated "El Rojo Diablo" Ryan D. , did a spit shining on the lil beast

i added some spoke covers and replaced the rusted rear shocks.
i took the luggage rack of,
A) because it looks cool ;), B) because it will be easier to swing a leg over the seat for the boy.
i'll keep the rack for when it is needed again.

the bike runs but needs some parts installed, which will be chronicled in this thread!

Tune in again and Drink Your Ovaltine !!!!! :grin big:

Too bad he's so disappointed.:grin:

Nice job Pop! We all have dreams of bringing joy to our kids on Christmas morning. After 28 Christmases as a Dad I realize the "out of the park" presents are pretty few and far between. Enjoy!
 
That's really awesome!
Best of the season to you :)
