Well, that certainly puts a damper on things, but don't let it take away your enthusiasm. Start looking for another project bike. This time keep it in your own shed.
My wife asked me why I speak so softly around the house. I said that I was worried that someone was listening. She laughed, I laughed, Alexa laughed.

Ouch, but how bad was it damaged? Maybe it's still useful as a donor bike or something?

I would agree with you el jefe, except that Detroit's population is shrinking. Perhaps Houston or Seattle, no?

I didn't think not keeping the boarder path cleared here would annoy Juan THAT bad!! I think AJ is right Juan called in family from Mexico and they done me up right. f@$k him, now a six foot razor wire topped fence is going up here.Then I'm going out and buying 50 pounds tacos,tamales,burritos, beans and rice.... And setting them on fire in his yard!
