OK, I came home and started getting some stuff arranged, the first thing I needed to do was grab some steel I've been holding onto and take it over the shop to start cutting up for the sidecar. These 2 "pallets" are a 4-wheeler crate. A friend of mine works at the local Honda shop, most of the shipping crates they use nowadays are crap, but someone ordered a non-stock ATV and it came in this:
(That's my 5 year old, he's helping me)
Next I dug around in the shop and found some surplus for the bike:
These are just 2 of 5 ammo cans I have to work with, the green bag that says "U.S." on the right side is just some backpack I bought over 10 years ago in Big Lots for $4. The other thing, well, that's a parachute harness that would attach to cargo being dropped.
I bought this back in college, in '98 I think, they accidentally sent me 2. It's got lots of cool buckles and straps and heavy canvas. The red knob, I think that will be used on the passenger brake lever. (is anyone paying attention?)
Most of my work will be done in front of the shop outside, because once the sidecar is attached, there will be no having it upstairs.
(The Huffy is a friends, I am cleaning it up, he bought it for his wife.)
This isn't going to work for me I don't think:
Then it thundered and this happened.
It's ok, rain is good.
