Ok , daydreaming all weekend about ordering my weld on rigid tail this week. Go out today and come in about 6 pm.....go to wash my hands , NO WATER! Crap , the cats have turned the switch off again. They did it before.....no s***. Ok , I go to the basement and the pump is running and running. Can see the shaft turning....this cant be good. Call my plunber friend , John. Sounds like you need a pump....he says. Well there goes my bonus money next week. Most going for Christmas and now the rest for a new pump. Dammit...oh well, at least I am working and can pay for it...the chop job will have to wait til the money is right. Thats all I wanted for XSmas...that dang hardtail.... . Im done cryin now.....I realise we are better off than most...these little things make us thankful for what we do have.....

So the new pump went south...dont buy Myers jet pumps , they are crap. got a Gould this time.....works great , easy to prime , and plenty of pressure. Shoulda went with Gould three years ago....we have water...WoooHooo......no money to spend on the build , but I can take a shower.

Weld in hard tail, yawn, so freaking over done. Every one and his brother has one of those ...
Literally, 2 of the 3 xs's for sale in my area in craigslist were weld in hard tails that they are referring to as a "chopper"
Yea peanut sportster tank - check.
Battery tray stuffed at the bottom rail of the weld in hard tail - check.
No guages - check.
Custom paint - check.
Springy seat - check ...
Sorry man, seeing 1 out of a 100 is cool, but on the XS's its pushing 50%.
Like I said, everyone and his brother.
winstonsalem.craigslis...74798.html
Then this -
charlotte.craigslist.o...50679.html
Then this -
winstonsalem.craigslis...19810.html
There was one more but dont see it now.
Do flat track or cafe and you're only in the 25% category.
Cool.
Srinath.
