    My packages arrived !

    Now this one was new to me, maybe it'll make you guys grin ...

    I had a super deal on some GS1000 parts - oil cooler, brackets, Goodridge hoses, oil takeoff, special front sprocket cover, Yoshi oil catch can, breather hoses and filter, all in brand new state.
    Seller is a buddy and all his stuff is like new.
    Stuff never arrived, mail service claimed they had given it to me personally.
    Even went to the trouble of reporting the 2 packages missing to the police.
    Life goes on, money gone and no parts.
    Sh*t happens, right ?

    Yesterday one of my neighbours came to my door, more than 6 months later, with both packages.
    He explained he accepted the packages for me and intended to deliver them.
    But he then unexpectedly had to "go on holiday for 6 months".

    Which is slang for "go to jail"

    So yesterday was the first opportunity he had to bring me the packages
    I was laughing all evening long ... ​

    Well, at least he's a honest man...
    To bad he didn't use his "one call" to tell you he had your parts! Haha

      Honest men rarely have this kind of 6 mo. holidays.... Just usually isn't that way. Though late, glad all is OK.

        Nice wee surprise.
        At the very least, he could have written you a postcard from 'holiday' in Sunny Gevangenis.

          Around here it's called 'going upstate.' Or just 'in.'
          1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

          2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.
