Can you also send them on to Big dave. And,oh attenuated one, shouldn't someone be interested in a real good human interest story. Almost as good as kittens.

I had a chat to Andre last night (that's the dad), the young boy had no idea what was happening and from all accounts was just expecting the bike to have had had some work done on it.

Andre was tell me that his eyes just lit up when he saw the bike completely fixed and then he was told he and about $1000 to spend in the shop .. now that would have been a Kodak moment.. lol.

He left with complete new kit, and still has $400 on his account at dowman's, he went to bed that night in his new bike pants and shirt and keep asking his dad if they could go back to the shop.. LOL.

The boy was going to write us a letter of thanks, but has asked his dad if he can make us a video instead, so Andre is going to send me the tape when it's done .. on a side note .. I'll need to figure out a way to convert VHS to digital .. lol .. I'm sure I'll figure something out.

Dowman's took some photos as well .. so i am just waiting for those to arrive and i will post them as soon as they do.

Looks like we managed to get this young lad even more excited about bikes than he was before.

I don't know about the rest of you .. but I'm just all warm and fuzzy .. ha ha

I have a gizmo at work to convert VHS to Digital. Let me know when you have the tape and I can convert it for you.

Bit of a shame everyone but KB got a mention in the story. Ah well at least the kid will always know
