The New Co-op: Big week and im making a break to Monster

Sometimes things seem to happen all at 1 time……this week will be fantastic……..we have 3 projects coming up for review this week.  Today though, I need to break out to pick up one transmission and drop off 2.  Transmissions and motors for that matter are like fruit……letm sit on the shelf they go bad!  We don’t let that happen……the fresh roller motor will light up in Mutcedes tomorrow so we will need that trans.  Rick and Tosses transmission will be needed as soon as the motors are done over at Mike’s…….so today I rideAn early morning, I opened up Dixie Belle the breakfast hole!  Fresh from getting a new water pump, timing belt and that menacing wire roof rack sporting the spare tire, Ralph is looking more off Road as he ages……500k miles and he’ll STILL huff 2 trannys at a time!  Ralph is my buddy.  He’s had a problem of the driver door latch wearing out.  No problem!  Found a good use for one of those New Way height control valves we were forced to use some years ago before the original vendor cranked production back up on our original 14 second fluid governor units that God originally gave usthe shop rag will suffice until I get a bike handgrip……  Hey, I like custom!as always with custom stuff like this….dont try it at home.  Hwy, not ALL creative juices taste good!  It was fun……The Eagle has landed, Tranquility base here…. After running out of oil in Texas overheating and shutting down….then looking 12 volts because the alternator was unplugged when leaving La only to find the trigger circuit on the alternator had shorted not letting the motor shut off without unplugging the alternator again………a hard working unprepared Malliniel made this happen though thru the phone…….and it landed yesterday at the shop……….what a wild weekend on the phone!  THIS is how we help…….now WE need a mechanical review and some love needs to be given out…..stay tuned.These 2 coaches are subjects of our work right now.. .both are badass being converted to super badass….. My job is just so much fun!
