My Eagle wheel (pictured with 19-month Cayo<\/a>) finally rolls without a high spot! So much THX and honor to Blacksmith Pawel Guba of Global Metal Art<\/a>, whose special machine rolled my damaged rim back into a perfectly round loop before he then skillfully tig welded a gusset on to it for reinforcement.\u00a0And to Jim Spillane, the bike’s re-manufacturer, who sent me the parts I needed for the wheel job from all the way over in America, \u00a0Hopefully now it is ready for these roads over here. Won’t be able to get it out for a few days yet, as more than just rain, Ireland is facing heavy storms right now with winds howling as high as 80 mph in some places, and I do mean howling….<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But I am excited!!<\/div>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0THX 4 all of U!!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
