Busy times with so many feelings to go through.

 We unchopperized a nice 750 K2 together. It had belonged to an old mechanic friend in the area. We put shorter fork tubes in it than the +6" and removed the ridiculous pullback handlebars. We added 750A rims, new tires and a nice Hooker 4-2 header. It has a reproduction seat and shorty shocks so he could get his feet down.
  I knew he shouldn't be riding it, and he did too but the process of me trusting his judgement was good for our relationship. I bought it back a couple weeks ago and overpaid. L0L.
