Got Roo bar but those big Roos can still fuck you up especially coming through windscreen.

Well not into bagging any one out. But I was let down when I had to travel back to Victoria I spent 2 extra nights in motels waiting as told I had to go as wife was back at the Hospital. Mrs not happy as I did big miles. Some Holiday she said . I still have no frame so nothing to report. This bike build is fucking with me. I need my Frame please.

Have a friend 2 hours away from Nifty who is coming down for our friend funeral. Both HD riders. I contacted Nifty to explain that my friend lives 2.5 hours away and is coming down. Nifty said a couple of things to do and finished. That was the 13th au time. Since then no contact phone email.

I should not have posted my frustration but this has been going on for a year now. I’m sure Nifty will reply and explain. I want to get the 68 riding

Missed the frame pickup . Does anyone live near Nifty as no communication from him. I tried contacting his neighbours but all have cell no home phone. It’s strange that he has no replies to me. It’s a good 2 days drive one way to his home and if he is not there? Can anyone help me please.

If the frame is finished and ready, could you not pay and ride in bush plane to bring it back, instead of packing in a 2 day journey?

I drove to Melbourne yesterday and dropped off frame for repairs. He will remove neck and true the rails and refit . He does HD only frames to 1984 . I will keep you posted.
