Now I am even more of a douche. HAHAHA. I checked out this video on running a clutch cable and they were talking about taking the clutch cover off so I got a clutch cover gasket today. Then when I went to hop on my bike, i followed the end of the clutch cable and it turns out, I got the right one in the first place...... DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!! I was right the first time hahaha....

at Twizted, Yeah, he had milk crates stacked up everywhere, full of all kinds of ****. What blows my mind is that he calls me now and asks me if I need parts for my fatboy!!! (how the hell is my dad getting fatboy parts???) (then I remember who he is affiliated with)

Well, we rebuilt our 72 about 10 years go and it is still running harder than anything Ive ridden since. Even after that bike is long gone, he still keeps parts, just incase one day he needs something again. he has tail lights from when he was 18 years old sitting around because they are cool haha.. One is a big cat or something with blue eyes from the 60s or 70s.... All kinds of random old stuff....

Well, if you're like me you won't need those gaskets until you forget about them and unknowingly reorder the same ones that are stashed away in your parts box, only to find the old ones 15 minutes after the job is complete.
