What made you smile/happy today ?

OK WAS JUST ON THE PHONE AND WAS OFFERED a job at a local dealership for about 400 a week less than i am making now thinking about closing my shop and going to work for them no more working on guns or bikes only parts and book keeping truly thinking about it.... no more overhead and one of my employs just offered to pay off my house debt which i no longer have for the shop and tools more then the shop is worth but ok i'll bite for a 200g payoff .....
kinda think this is the way to go less headache less time working less money though but its cool no more hassel no more crying about shit just sit and do my thing more time off 2 weeks paid vacation shit i dont get any vacation now since i own this place and i work from about 8am till about 11 or 12 at night.. now it would be a 9 to 5 thing dono on the fence but it would deff make me happy to have more time and energy to do other things ive wanted to do ......
told em id have a answer by the end of the day....
 
dont matter who runs the business. At the end of the day you are working for you, and you should decide for you.

will it be less stress . . .. yes
will you have more time for yourself . . .. . . yes
money aint everything . .. . . . . . yes

make the choice based only on what suits YOU.


best of luck bloke.

sounds kool and it might not hurt to get a new perspective on what you want.

I had a chance to work in a shop a few yrs ago but turned it down, I had a feeling that I would't come home anymore and work on my bikes in my shed. I know I made the right choice for me.

i just found this tonite if I had the bread I would buy/negotiate it in a heartbeat. 350 Kwak $ 3000 aus never know if its there in a few weeks . . .. . . . . .

this is what it did look like without the body work on the sides and front crashed out put a emgo on it kept the tank and the rear end painted it red ,,,,,
 
well that fucking made me smile today. nicebloodynice. Greg Hansford ( and quite a few others as you know ) made a name winning on them.

this thing aint up to that standard here's the stats as posted.

'kawasaki 350 triple road race bike from the early seventies . bike is in great original unrestored condition . has been set up for the track with many modifocations from wheels to suspension. full expansion chambers etc. the bike is complete but missing the ignition and cover. motor turns over and the crank feels good with no play in the conrods. i belive that with an iginiton in place it would be running. call anytime and can freight it any where if needed.'

I rekon it's worth a look and would be a fun track bike but I just cant justify it atm . .. .. but ya never know. eh ?

You are a gun dealer?

I bet the ATF act like you are doing something illegal every time they come to your shop.

Ever read 'Unintended Consequences'? My favorite book.
