Default Re: What made you feel good today?

Poor old guy on a bicycle got hit by a car at about lunch today out the front of our place. Always seems to be an accident due to people not knowing road rules like giving way etc. Driver turned right and side swiped him.

He was very shaken but apparently kept asking about his bike, Ambos asked if I could look after it and I was happy to. Pulled it into the shed and had a look over it. He obviously loved it, but there were a few bits that had seen better days.

So I spent my study day repairing his bike. Panel beating skills came to the fore that I didn't even know I had. Straightened it all out for the old guy and gave it a hand polish to boot. Looks really nice and it has that old time period look that it would have had before the accident. The only thing I couldn't repair was the hand sewn leather handle bar covers that match the seat leather.

Now just have to hope the old guy can come pick it up soon.
