"swing...arm and miss, strike one"

So I've been calling all around Dayton Ohio -- looking for a wrecked motorcycle in order to build a category III hybrid adapter.

I finally found a place called "Roddys" Motorcycle shop -- in Jamestown Ohio -- reportedly they have dozens "out back".

So I go there today -- and I got my first disappointment to find out "Rowdy Roddy Piper" doesn't even work there.

Anyhow -- before I could get out of my mouth what I'm looking for -- the guy behind the counter tells me to come back when I'm not babysitting......yes -- I had my kids with me.

Now, as a parent, I am sensitive to kids running amuck and tearing up a place -- but indeed mine were not.

I realize these motorcycle folk are serious-- and it's "men's work" to ride and work on bikes -- but I'll take my business elsewhere.

I wish all the best to Roddy in Jamestown.
