the pucker point

[masterofpuppets]

When I worked at a local Corvette restoration shop for a summer back in high school, the shop foreman introduced me to this term. Any time you do any sort of modification, you get to the "pucker point". It's the point where you're halfway done with a mod and the thing you're working on is in pieces. Computers, cars, or in my case motorcycles.

I got to a point tonight where I was in the middle of putting new handlebars on where I just said "omg what the hell did I get myself into"



I got everything done and everything still works. It's just always cool to take a second in the middle of a project and look.

Anyone else have any pics from the middle of a 'work in progress'?

My entire yard right now is a "work in progress". We're leveling out most of it... and we live ON a hill.

I hate engine swaps. A friend of mine was swapping out his 1130 to a 1250 in his VROD and I went over to help him out.....seeing his bike without a motor freaked me out.
