    Meet MARTY! A real nice guy and his wife I met at the Zephyrhills Car Corral/Swap Meet today. He had to have his foot amputated last year and came up witha unique replacement! ITS A PISTON FROM A HARLEY! He put a rubber bottom on the top of it for grip and had to cut a groove in the rubber so he could still ride.
    He couldn't stay with his car for sale as work is real slow and he had to try to make money doing some odd jobs. I have his phone number here in Florida. This would make a great "personal-Interest" story in some magazine or club news and maybe get him some work and/or financial help ( he NEVER asked for any). Its the kind of people that really deserve help. Tom

    My buddy called me asking how he lost his foot. I didn't ask but may have been due to a Bike accident. He has a great outlook. Tom

    Sounds like he is making the best of a situation that would sideline others. I wish him well.

    Dude, I just shot coffee outta my nose! That's so wrong and so freakin' funny at the same time. I wish the guy well. If I'm ever in a situation where I lose a limb, I hope to have a sense of humor about it. A friend of mine said if he ever lost a leg, he'd get a prosthetic one with the foot about three times bigger than the other one, just to mess with people. I hope this Marty dude finds a solid career. Good luck to him.

    That's a guy with a good bead on life. I keep picturing him coming out of a bar bathroom saying, "Dammit, I piston my foot." And there's a blue suede piston thing in there somewhere, but I'm too tired to figure it out.
     
  23. Sounds like he's a character...great attitude...

    Hey!!! JUST the one I've been looking for! Trade you one from a HONDA that I have been walking around with! My wrist pin should fit yours. Thats the biggest ROD I've ever seen! Ever been to one of those Donkey bars in Mexico?
    Nothing tops "I piston my foot".
    Marty would blow a gasket over these.

    does it leave an oil trail everywhere he goes?
     
  29. Good thing it was a flat top piston - 12.5:1 Hemi pistion would be hard to balance on . . .
