It's the latter, but it involves a co-owned house that's 3/4 of the way through renovation, dog, blah, blah, blah.  So basically a divorce.

Already thinking about the next project when things settle, I get back into the black, and have a space to work.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, and help along the way.  Hopefully, I'll be back soon with another project.

Bummer. Pack your stuff up, move out here. Plenty of space in the shop for you and your project! Hell, I travel so damn much, you can even have my side of the bed while I’m away.  ;D

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

Serious bummer, Mule.  Having been through a split, just keep in mind that "it's just stuff that can be replaced."

Hey guys, brand new to the forum. I know this build has been quite for a while, but I'll be picking the bike up on Sunday and hopefully beginning the last leg of the build.
