Fixing Honey. Oct. 2. |
She's brought me 1,300 miles so far on my trip.
But sometimes I think she'll let any dude with a wrench under her hood.
I was the lucky guy last Saturday.
Shapiro Hardware, Bleeker and Lafayette. |
The next morning, Friday, I crawled under Honey and saw the problem: The bolts that hold the donut clamp to the tail pipe and header had come lose, so the exhaust and sound were coming straight out of the header without the benefit of muffling. Loud. Really loud. The kind of loud that the people in cars next to you stare at you and even point.
All I had to do (I love that phrase) was buy more nuts, lock washers and bolts to reattach the donut clamp.
I found a hardware store in Greenwich Village at the corner of Lafayette and Bleeker, where I bought what 5 needed. Of course it's all prepackaged, so now I have ten of each.
Saturday morning I crawled back under Honey and re-secured the donut clamp.
Someone even took a picture.
Just another guy who eats problems for breakfast.
