Since I was going to stay in Texas while the crew went to California, I had to take care of the animals at the compound. Not a big deal but one morning something was a little different. </div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The chickens were already up and roaming around when I went to let them out of the coup.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
After a few minutes of investigating and I found out what happened. The floor of the coup fell out sometime during the night. How did this happen? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY7tq-A4v2P6U7tJt8FfFWdYPSjXvAjY7CYoWR6WBEtgiBPwQFb_nqqFOzoBmomMDiuf35v_DFUXCf_NO7YuuZD-ESqgA7oNQQC2emBNZP6KNM189Eae5BIYad1AtNYbSkO_Gy4kg9XEA/s1600/IMG_0753.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY7tq-A4v2P6U7tJt8FfFWdYPSjXvAjY7CYoWR6WBEtgiBPwQFb_nqqFOzoBmomMDiuf35v_DFUXCf_NO7YuuZD-ESqgA7oNQQC2emBNZP6KNM189Eae5BIYad1AtNYbSkO_Gy4kg9XEA/s1600/IMG_0753.jpg" height="258" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It didn't take long for me to figure out what happened. As soon as I put the lid down, a goat jumped on the coup racking the box and knocking the floor out again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXT0NsQwwS6blwyUeWXgv5zpJsmpQ2j5d2n0KiAQlXlu29MFD62hiUOO1s-fcr_3B1Ai10Cn4heDFe_YJE0LoiG7vC6l49Q78YAu70QEYf17xx7FMhJ0kFubIKYXnUaen5IuN6VoJMkgs/s1600/IMG_0754.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXT0NsQwwS6blwyUeWXgv5zpJsmpQ2j5d2n0KiAQlXlu29MFD62hiUOO1s-fcr_3B1Ai10Cn4heDFe_YJE0LoiG7vC6l49Q78YAu70QEYf17xx7FMhJ0kFubIKYXnUaen5IuN6VoJMkgs/s1600/IMG_0754.jpg" height="320" width="276" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It took longer to find the saws and drills than to fix the coup. A few cleats installed inside the coup gave the legs something to attach to. With the floor back in and the box level, the outer legs were attached.</div>

I had been at DC Choppers about a week when a call came into the shop from the organizers of Born-Free. They had a spot for DC Choppers if we wanted it. The problem was the show started in 8 days, it would take 2.5 days to get there and we were waiting on material to finish a new batch of mid-controls. The plan changed several times over the next 24 hours. Who was going, who was staying, is anyone not going, what are we taking...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the end I opted to stay in Texas and watch the shop and animals while the rest of the team went to Born-Free. </div>

A few days after the Fathers Day River Run it was time to get to work. Dan had taken in a few bikes for me to work on. </div>

First up was this stroked 93" Shovelhead that kept blowing oil past the motor sprocket seal. I changed the seal and took it for a test ride. No good. I would check, change, or fix something and then ride it. The oil continued to leak.</div>

Next up is a perfect example of when a good deal isn't always a good deal. He got it cheap but.... Change Oil and filter - check. Change front tire - check. Wire new tail light with blinkers on and check over the rest - ffffuuuuccckkkkkkkk. During the initial quick check over I discovered there were 11 broken spokes on the rear wheel. Replacing those and truing the rim took a little while. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would write a list of issues that I would find. Call the customer and get his OK to do the repairs and order the parts. Then find more issues while fixing the original items.</div>

The bearing race that is pressed in the left side case proved to be the reason for the leak. Time for new cases. I would have put an enclosed wet primary on instead, but chopper guys like that open belt.</div>

Enough parts came in for me to finish enough issues on the Softail that I could take it for a test ride. A very short test ride.Yep, more issues were found. Loose neck bearings, a rear wheel that would not stay in place due to a missing axle adjuster and no rear brakes.</div>

I flushed out the master cylinder, lines, fittings, and caliper. Here is what the final product looked like and the brakes worked properly. The Softail and Shovelhead were still waiting on parts when I left Texas. I hate leaving jobs unfinished. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished a few small jobs while I was there but these two gave me nightmares.</div>

So with Lichter riding on the back of a bagger we set off on some back roads around Spicewood, TX.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We made it about 10 miles from the shop when we hit a spot in the road that had water flowing over it. Due to the recent storms a mini river had formed and the roadway underneath was as slick as ice. Dan, Chris, Carlos, and Lichter ended up on the ground with their bikes and passengers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ended up riding back and getting the shop truck, picking up Chris and his bike and Dan's wife Felice.</div>

I went to Florida to get a few errands completed before I head West this month. I saw the usual cast of characters while I was there. Mark was working at removing a generator from the engine room of a 54' Hatteras. I figured I would give him a hand while getting a chance to catch up.</div>

We finally got her on deck. We had removed the deck chair and placed a 7' piece of steel over the chair post. Then tied the post off to the aft deck cleats and used ratchet straps as back up support.
