STOPPIN' IN AT JIM'S BIKE DETAIL SHOP 12-23-11

FRIDAY, 12-21-11, IT WAS A LITTLE ON THE CHILLY SIDE (34 DEGREES) BUT I GOT ON THE HARLEY AND WENT AROUND AND TOOK CARE OF SOME "HONEY DO'S" THAT JANICE NEEDED DONE. FOLLOWING THAT, I RODE ON DOWNTOWN TO SEE JIM AT JIM'S BIKE DETAIL SHOP. SCROLL DOWN AND JOIN ME ON THIS BRIEF POST AND REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURES BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE.

JIM'S BIKE DETAIL SHOP, (ABOVE), IS LOCATED AT 1001 HOLIDAY STREET WICHITA FALLS TEXAS. IT SITS ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF 10TH ST/HOLIDAY ST. PHONE NUMBERS TO THE BUSINESS ARE: 940-691-1121 AND 940-232-4181

THIS IS JIM, MY GOOD FRIEND AND OWNER OF JIM'S BIKE DETAIL SHOP. JIM DOES BIKE DETAILING  AND CAR DETAILING. COST OF A DETAIL FOR MOST BIKES IS $60. IF YOU HAVE A BIKE THAT IS EXOTIC OR UNUSUAL, CALL JIM AND TELL HIM WHAT YOU HAVE AND HE WILL FIX YOU UP. PRICE FOR A DETAIL FOR MOST CARS IS $70. AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING UNUSUAL, CALL JIM FOR MORE INFO.

THIS IS JIM'S NEW TRUCK THAT HE BOUGHT LAST WEEK. IT IS A 2012 CHEVROLET COLORADO LT Z71.  A VERY SHARP LOOKING VEHICLE!!

THE FRONT OF JIM'S COLORADO LT

INSIDE THE SHOP ARE JIM'S TWO BIKES AND HIS GIRLFRIEND,TAMMY'S BIKE

THE FIRST BIKE IS JIM'S 2010 CHOPPER HE WON AT THE ADULT BIKER RALLY IN ALVARADO TEXAS BACK IN THE SUMMER OF 2010.

ON THE LIFT AND BEING CLEANED UP, IS JIM'S 2011 HARLEY STREET GLIDE. HE KEEPS HIS BIKES EXTREMELY CLEAN AND THAT IS SOME GREAT ADVERTISING ON HIS PART..

AND THIS IS TAMMY'S 2006 HARLEY SCREAMING EAGLE SOFTAIL SPRINGER.  JIM IS CHARGING P THE BATTERY AT THE CURRENT TIME

THE SIGN ON THE WALL INSIDE THE SHOP. IT'S ALWAYS GOOD HAVING YOUR BUSINESS NUMBERS POSTED AROUND THE BUSINESS, INSIDE AND OUT.

THE BACK OF THE BIKES: 06 SOFTAIL SPRINGER, 2011 STREET GLIDE AND 2010 CUSTOM CHOPPER. JIM'S CHOPPER WAS BUILT BY TROY NICHOLSON WITH LIGHTNING CYCLE WORKS LOCATED AT 4525 E. BELKNAP ST., HALTOM CITY TEXAS. THE PHONE NUMBER AND WEB SITE FOR THIS FINE MOTORCYCLE BUSINESS IS: 817-831-0700 AND THE LINK IS: www.lightningmotorcyleworks.com

HERE IS MY 2006 HARLEY ROAD KING PARKED AT JIM'S. I GOT MY BIKE FROM A GOOD FRIEND AND FORMER CO-WORKER, STEVE CARROLL, WHEN HE BLEW OUT SEVERAL DISCS IN HIS BACK AND COULDN'T RIDE IT ANYMORE. HE KEPT IT IN OUTSTANDING SHAPE, ADDED ON LOADS OF EXTRAS, INCLUDING AN ENGINE UPGRADE AND HIGH PERFORMANCE PIPES. AND THE MILEAGE WAS ONLY LIKE 15,600 MILES. THE BIKE RUNS LIKE A SCALDED APE AND I AM ENJOYING IT MORE AND MORE AS I RIDE IT MORE OFTEN. THOUGHT I'D NEVER FIND ANOTHER BIKE THAT I'D LIKE BETTER THAN MY BELOVED  SOFTAIL THAT I TOTALED OUT ON 6-30-2011, BUT I THINK I DID WITH THIS BIKE...
.

BACK INSIDE THE SHOP ARE JIM AND A GOOD FRIEND OF HIS, JARED.

JARED IS CO-OWNER OF THE AAA GUARDIAN FOUNDATION REPAIR         COMPANY. IF YOU LIVE IN THE AREA AND WITH THE DROUGHT WE HAD, IF YOUR HOUSE SETTLED OR ANY OTHER BUILDINGS SETTLED WRONG AND YOU ARE HAVING FOUNDATION PROBLEMS, GIVE JARED A CALL AT THE NUMBER ON HIS CARD, ABOVE. OR YOU CAN FAX HIM OR STOP BY THE BUSINESS ON SCOTT STREET. SCOTT STREET IS ALSO BUSINESS US287.

JIM ALSO HAS THIS HONDA DIRT BIKE OR SCRAMBLER LEANING AGAINST THE WALL IN THE FRONT DESK AREA.

AS WE AT SAT TALKING AT THE TABLE IN THE FRONT OFFICE AREA, I NOTICED THIS SITTING ON THE LEDGE TO MY LEFT AND I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY APPROPRIATE TO HAVE IN THE OFFICE.

BEFORE JARED LEFT, HE TOOK THIS PICTURE OF JIM AND I OUTSIDE IN FRONT OF MY BIKE

ANOTHER OF JIM & I. HE SAID THAT ON ONE OF MY RUNS UP TO MICHIGAN, HE'D LIKE TO RIDE ALONG BECAUSE HE HAS RELATIVES IN MICHIGAN THAT HE LIKES TO VISIT.

THIS  HALF SHELL HELMET BELONGS TO TAMMY.

HERE IS JIM, IN THE OFFICE RIGHT BEFORE I LEFT THE SHOP TO RIDE HOME. SINCE IT WAS KINDA SLOW AND THE FACT THAT HE OWNS THE BUSINESS, JIM, ALSO,  WAS GOING CLOSE UP SHOP EARLY AND GO HOME AND SEE TAMMY. OH YEAH, BEFORE I FORGET: JIM ALSO DOES FULL SERVICE WORK ON THE MOTORCYCLES. THE CHARGE IS $120 LABOR PLUS PARTS, WHICH IS ONE HECK OF A DEAL.

FINAL PICTURE FROM TODAY IS THE LIT UP OPEN SIGN AND THAT SIGN NEXT TO IT. IT READS:  IF YOU LIKE MY WORK, PLEASE TELL OTHERS. IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY WORK, PLEASE TELL ME..  THANK YOU,  JIM 
THIS WILL CONCLUDE THIS POST.

I ENJOYED THE RIDE DOWN TO SEE JIM AND I ENJOYED MEETING JARED. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT RIDE WHENEVER IT OCCURS AND TO WHEREVER IT TAKES ME.

ALSO, WHILE THE WEATHER IS BEING SCREWBALL WITH THE TEMPS, NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO TAKE THE BIKE DOWN TO JIM AND HAVE HIM DETAIL IT FOR YOU. HE DOES OUTSTANDING WORK AND YOU WILL BE VERY PLEASED AT THE WORK HE DOES ON YOUR MOTORCYCLE, NO MATTER WHAT THE MAKE. ALL BIKES ARE WELCOME AT JIM'S BIKE DETAIL SHOP IN WICHITA FALLS TEXAS.

JIM IS ALSO AN AMSOIL  DEALER AS OF THE FIRST OF JANUARY 2012 AND WILL HAVE THE AMSOIL PRODUCTS AVAILABLE IN THE SHOP  ON, APPROXIMATELY, JANUARY 9TH OR THE 16TH.
