Need some help in Abbotsford, Beer's on the menu!

mainlander · 07-05-08, 10:42 PM

Hey folks,

I need some help on Sunday evening or Monday afternoon or evening if possible. I figure cruiserheads would appreciate a nice frame more than my neighbours

I need 3 guys to help me take the frame off my roof rack and put it in the back yard. It's not too heavy about 300 lbs, it's more awkward than anything.

I'm thinking if I can get a few guys to come over either around 5 or just after 7 that would be great.

Oh yes and there's a

or

in it for those who can help. Just reply in this thread, pm or email rodtrue(at)shaw.ca

I'm in Abbotsford near the Auto Mall.

Thanks

Rod

i'll be in abby tomorrow after work around 4ish...give or take an hour. post up if youve got a couple more helpersfor sunday..and i'll show up

Doubledown and GG, both of you in for Sunday. Would 7:30 work for both of you? I'm sure we can get one, maybe two more (the more the merrier they say) for Sunday evening around that time.

Jeff, now that would look really funny! Like you said perfect recovery if turned upside down (did that about 18 years ago in a nissan minitruck, wasn't fun)

Sounds like a plan.

So did you drive down and get it or did you ship it up?

mainlander · 07-06-08, 09:29 AM

I had is shipped up Charles. The cost to drive down (fuel, food, loss of work) worked out to be more than the shipping cost.

I can help. Shoot me a PM with your phone and address.

mainlander · 07-06-08, 12:30 PM

Thanks everyone. We've got enough help now.

Don't know if all of you are just really nice or if it's the beer

(I think it's the first one though)

I've pm'd everyone my phone number and address. We'll see you around 7:30 tonight

Rod

A big thanks to Greg, Phil, Rob, John & my father in law for coming over and helping me with the frame, it went really easy I'd say.

Thanks again guys, I certainly appreciate it.
