Seat Update

So, the Cub’s seat…

It was, after all, the first piece that was started in earnest after stripping the Cub & I had sent it to the Auto Upholsterers to be made better again…

So what has happened since this monumental commitment? … Well I’m glad you asked!

I had called by just before Easter; I was rather guilt ridden over this visit, as, due to the sale of the Auld House, I thought that had stiffed a decent bloke as I reckoned it was safer to keep the seat at the shop, that to damage it in the move.

Thus I rather sheepishly went into his workshop (when my car was having its yearly rego check 1 door down). I was really worried; I had last spoken to him a month a half before I moved from the Auld House.

Davo had been ticking away slowly & steadily on it… & was rather apologetic that he hadn’t completed the work yet

I suppose the truth of the matter is that, as with his sign, Garry is rather Old School when it comes to work, if someone says, “it’s a low priority job” he doesn’t worry too much about the delivery date; rather he shifts priorities to the guys that are crying out for the jobs to be done.

Cool!

Thus, when I said “Nah, the bike isn’t even painted yet”, he was visibly relieved that he had remembered correctly… the relief was palpable!

Seat meet some Nylons...

Anyway, the seat was on the bench (& underneath some rope, so I know that Davo had been working on it… it looked like it had been in a bizarre bondage session (for motorcycle seats that is)

OK, so I can hear some out there in the Net saying about how important it is to be on time when a commitment is made, but hey, I don’t roll that way! And neither does Davo; have a look at his shops sign…

If you ring this number, put "63" infront of it...& note there is NO mobile number listed either!

…OLD SCHOOL! The Phone number is only 15 years out of date!

In much the same way that the Cub itself is 40 years out of date!

Read timeless; Cary Grant - You know, incredibly cool & timeless!

The Love Cub, Cary Grant & My Auto-Upholsterers; I’ll wager that you’d never think that you’d read them in the one sentence!

So Mote it Be!
