just too quick

I was out and about yesterday when I got a call on my mobile.

It was a delivery company driver to say that he was at my door with a parcel. It has since turned out to be my Americana 2 bike lift. I ordered it on-line on Wednesday, got an e-mail to say that it would be delivered within 2-3 days and a tracking number would be forwarded to me. That arrived afer the lift did the first time!

Anyway, I managed to re-arrange delivery for today and so I've now got my lift in the garage just waiting to be used.

I finally decided on the Americana as opposed to the Clarke. This was as much to do with cost and availability as to functionality. Though, the hand release on the Americana, as opposed to the  combined  raising and lowering mechanism, by foot pedal, on the Clarke seemed to be a better option.
I ordered it, with free shipping, from V-twin Mania and the speed it got  here will no doubt encourage me to use them again.

I've also cancelled my order from Brakes4U for the stainless brake lines. Nothing at all to do with the company, they were especially helpful. It's just a job I'm going to have to think about before beginning.

Next week I'm off work so will be able to spend some time in the garage doing some of the thing I've been talking about.

Will let you know how things go soon.
