Title: Million to one........
Post by: Richme on November 11, 2008, 01:29:06 PM: Years ago when my niece was small....I said out loud...How am I going to get a million pounds...?? (UK you understand!) With the natural wisdom of an 8 year old....she answered...get a million people to give you a pound each.......................well.........some chap did something a bit like that recently and sold a million pixels on his website for a dollar each......success!
My reason for mentioning this is that I desperately need a new R65....and have no money ( apparently some American Banks did something and Fanny somebody wouldn't pay something back to Freddy and hey I lost the thread ) Anyway...................I guess there are far less than a million parts to an R65.......but if each of you could undertake to send me just one part each............Could just work eh?

Reminds me of the old Johnny Cash song, "I Got It One Piece At A Time"... how he stole a new car from the factory over several years time by taking one piece at a time in his lunch pail. A Cadillac engine block? That's some lunch box! ;)

And as for sending one piece at a time - I've certainly heard a number of stories abot guys from WW2 on sending home whole jeeps and bikes that way....though I think they musta had the odd friend in the air force to assist...

Having no bike at the time I suspended an old chain guard I found lying around and now I literally have bins of parts and more, stuffed into any empty spot in the garage. Last weekend even more showed up! Give it a try but be cautioned. I have no idea how to make it stop!
