Hey Carsten, Sorry,no updates so far. I have been doing fine, just a bit of tired of all the covid and war **** thats going on. I got that damn covid too few months ago, but luckily it wasnt a bad one. I havent done nothing for awhile for shoebox, mostly been messing with my Harleys. Making parts for the another one and riding the **** out of the other one. I made a top clamp/handlebar thing for the springer front end and exhaust pipes. Those were the first homemade pieces i have ever got chromeplated. I did all pre-chrome work, sanding, buffing etc. I guess it wasnt just because being cheap, there was a bit of challenging my self too included in that one. Well, it sure was a bit challenging with my ****py tools, so i am not going to anything like that soon Wait, you have moved to Sweden? I made a quick visit there few weeks ago, in Haparanda when i and few friends of mine made a motorcycle trip to the arctic circle. Its warm and nice in there at this time of year, just those damn reindeers everywhere..
Hej Antti, thanks for the reply, i know what you mean, the overall situation in Europe takes some energy of everyone, lets hope it will come out somehow better. Yes, i did move to Sweden in march like i always wanted to do, yeah! But i'm deep down south, i didn't have the balls to go to Lappland. (yet?) Good to hear you are well and did some small stuff on the motorcycle, it takes so much to take care of all that little things. good to hear from you again! Cheers, Carsten
Wow, its been 3 yrs already, so the time flies. I am ok and i still have the shoebox. Its been a backburner in the garage, i havent paid much attention for it for a while. I guess most ppl would have just gave up, sold it and focus on something else. But i am too stubborn to quit and a worst salesman on this planet. And what i have noticed, ppl doesnt buy anything at these days. Not even the rich folks, a couple of weeks ago i read that a Ferrari dealership went bankcrupt in here... Anyways, my plan is not to sell it, after all the work i have done on it. I am still messing with my bikes and the plan is to concentrate on shoebox again when i am done with my project bike. And hopefully that will happen in next year. That bike project has gone a bit out of hands, i wasnt planning to do anything special for the motor, but now i have a dual magnetos, a mild stroker crankshaft and a lot of good quality engine parts waiting for the ***embly.
