Default A Good Deed???

I went in to the local Indy shop yesterday... didn't need anything... but bought one of their "T" shirts...

Anyway... I heard this guy asking about drilling out baffles on his 2006 Sporty...

With both finished up and was outside so I approached him... he seemed like a nice guy...

So I offered to sell him the SE slip-ons... well the whole exhaust system actually... I told him $50...

Gave him my phone number as he said he had to round the money...

Long story short... In the end I just gave the dang things to him... come to find out it was his birthday...

Man you would of thunk I had given him a winning lottery ticket!

His reaction and appreciation was worth it...
