Nifty is still working on frame. Hopefully he will post some pictures. I am desperate to get it back together. Will post to Roo if Nifty does not show his good work

Re: 68 FLH
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.

Re: 68 FLH
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.

Re: 68 FLH
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

Re: 68 FLH
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.

Re: 68 FLH
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?
