Slash, I should have added that I'm as broke as the rest of the world. Besides I now have a place with an attached garage to park the Goldwing in.

i wish i had a garage to work on my truck in. i guess you got the better end of the stick. ive been doing all the work on my truck underneath a dogwood tree in the backyard! but at least i got a truck and the skills, ability and capability to do the work myself and not have to pay someone to do it. for that i am thankful.

Back in the dark ages, the missus and I weren't quite as financially sound as we are now. Back in Ohio with a foot of snow on the ground changing out a transmission. Anyway I do feel your pain.
