You know Jeff, I have never found a woman that DID NOT lke sitting on a rumbling Harley? Anyone that knows bikes knows what I am talking about here.

Jeff's other ride is probably an Escalade 4X4 with 24 inch one off chrome wheels and such. I forget the color that Caddy calls it but it is copper colored anyways.

I on the other hand could only afford a 4X4 Denali. And a Polaris Sportsman 700 EFI 4 wheeler.

It's my one toy I wasn't allowed to have when I was married before. Now, my fiance loves the bike and is completely willing to go with me. So, i've got that, then i've got a $800 92 Corolla! Of course then the kid mobile, but I either ride my bike or drive the Show Car (Corolla). Rust is really just a color, right? Like two-tone.

You give wsr a bad name with a show car like that;)

GlasWeldTech,

92 Corolla baby...Oxidized red, auto, upgraded squirrel for an engine...3 SPEED AUTO! Shakes and bakes at 70! Awful car, but dependable so far, and allows me to get my dream bike.

Wilz,

I know, I know, when I go do windshield repair, I take company vehicles. No way i'm showing up at a job site in THAT car! :)

The bike thing sounds innovative if you are in a metropolitan area but I am rural and the weather up here can be unpredictable at best.If you don't like the weather wait 15 minutes.

I'll get a prenup, she can have everything except my bike :) Well, except my bike and my son. :) Forget the house, I'll just sleep in a motel as long as I have my bike! ;)

Just have the calls forwarded to your cell phone. When you get to the repair location simply look at your cell phone to see if you have any messages.

My 2cents

I'll have someone answer the phone at home and take down the information and put them in the schedule- trying to do it while riding is too dangerous.
I'll call home when I am ready for the next job and figure out where to go. I am already doing this every afternoon on 4 wheels as the phone starts ringing off the hook and I can't answer and fix a crack at the same time. I am fortunate to be doing this in cooperation with my spouse. Two heads are better than one.

What About If You Need A Step Ladder Or Regulator Ladder For A Repair In The Middle Or High On The Windshield , (suv, Truck)
Or Do You Just Trust That The Customer Is Telling The Truth About Where The Break Is Before You Jump On Your Bike.
P.s. This Is And Probably Always Will Be A Popular Forum.
But Now I Know Why I Hardly Ever......check In To This Forum Anymore. I Have Found A More Technicaly Oriented Forum Recently
And Have Enjoyed Gaining More Knowledge Of That Forum.
When People On This Forum Start Talking About Prenups To Keep A Corolla And Rust Colors For The Color Of There Car, Its Besides The Point , It Seems Like More Times Than None. This Forum Turns Into A Instant Messaging Chat Room. About Whatever.
Keep Up The Good Work Guys. Its Funny How People Check In At Odd Times , When They Claim That There Out Performing Mobil Service
Or Repairing Windshield In House

L.R We tend to use a lot of common sense when it comes to going on the bike I only go to dealers where I know there will be no problems and who have the same two wheeled interests. As for people logging on at different time's it is now 10 at night I do not wish to be out working now. where Delta is it is about 2 in the afternoon, this may explain your times. I have done my 5 hours and seven repairs at
