Such optimism...

You've got me beat by two wheel now - I'm assuming they each have a
particular sort of roadway they're built for?  Gotta love the hobbies!

You da man.  I got two of a kind, and dreams of a chopper...funny thing
about choppers, the more time you take thinking about them, the more of
them you can think of to build.  I'm in the thoes of replacing nuts and
bolts right now - little chrome for now...I seem to be saving up for
something, but I'm not really sure what...

I've got a "dream" Springer in my head to put together - I'm sort of
looking for a wrecked Softail Standard to get the project going.

go old school. what would be really cool would be to revive
the "lace" paint tanks. 'member those? get a hardtail and a
shifter knuckle and go nuts....about the same cabbage as a
wrecker, 8-9k.

Actually, I've been angling for a free one in that stripe - I have a
cousin that has a '59 Knucklehead in his basement in Illinois.  Last
time I saw it running was when I was in high school.  Been needling him
to give it to me and let me restore it.

The only other hardware I might find is his brother's supercharged Honda
750...he used to drag race that thing.  Don't know what ever happened to it.

It was cool, alright.  He turbocharged it himself...had a set of 6 foot
long wheelie casters he used to bolt onto it when he took it to the
strip.  The thing was a monster.  He also has a '68 Shelby K500 Mustang
that he bought when he got out of the USMC in San Diego in '68.  Paid
$2K for it as the original owner...he's been offeredd as high as $86K
for it last I heard.

I'm gonna concentrate on the Knucklehead...

It was his brother's bike...Stan has the Knuckle, his brother Harold had
the Honda, and I think it's long gone.

i'm sure..i was day dreaming. i need a 305 motor for my
chopper. or the parts to rebuild the top end. maybe just
pistons and rings, the first over size should work. and a
cam chain, of course.

Just make sure it's the bike you break and not the rider!

    There is this thing called pain, man!  You definitely have some
priority issues.
