He turned out to be a great friend after that and I helped him with anything I could, he was 92yrs old and still riding, he passed a few yrs ago and I miss him all the time. He was a mailman who liked bikes and planes building his first plane in the same shop he did bike repairs in, I worked on his Rotax 2 cycle engines for him. Here is a before & after pic of his truing stand he gave me, which I gave to my boss and it is displayed at our shop.
