Just watched this one roll away

[Link-Belt]

Sold my last build about a week ago and the Guy sent a roll back to pick it up today. I think a tree rolled down my cheek as the roll back drove off with it. Me and my pops put some time in on this one and the both of us are heart broken to see it go but life happens and you do what you have to to make the ends meet.

Never give it a name if you plan on selling or slaughtering it...

Look at it this way, it gives you and your pops the opportunity for your next build that will be even better!

Uuuuh i know what you're talking about, i am working on a 1970 Shovel right now, guess i never sell her again (like the KZ900, like the Buell, like the road King, like my jukeboxes...etc...)

Did it hurt when the tree rolled down your cheek?

Just pokin' fun at ya...

You know what the bright side of it is? Now you've got a blank slate to start from to build a new one.

The bike may be gone, but the memories of time spent with Dad will be with you forever.

Same thing happened when I sold my mostly hand built Triumph a couple of years ago. I built,and rebuilt over 20 years and it was one of those bikes that turned out exactly the way I envisioned it.But,financial necessity won the day.Sold it on ebay,and it went to Wisconsin somewhere,so at least I don't have to see it around town.

A bike with a mailbox on it. That's cool!

Link-belt, I think it is great that you and your dad can enjoy building bikes and working together.
Treasure that, because it doesn't last forever.

Thanks guys. My old man is the cats meyow when it comes to classic custom cars and bikes. He and I have been at it ever since I could turn a wrench. I am 36 now and just when I think he has showmen me all his tricks he pulls anouther one out of his bag. I'll try to get some pics of some of the stuff we've done this weekend and post up here you guys.

We all give up stuff near and dear to us at one point in life or another. My personal attitude has always been, I woke up on this side of the grass this morning so the rest of the day is a bonus. With that in mind, there are plenty more *things* in this world and I'm gonna go find something I like today...
