Did anyone go to the Vintage bike show last weekend? I drove 8 1\2 to there and it was worth it.Great weather,lots of nice bikes in the show and on the road.

Took it out yesterday for it's first real ride. I forget how slow these things are when they're stock. Oh well..I have other bikes when i have to have my,"need for speed".

The round ones are a bugger,but the square ones are easier, spin it as you pull.

If willing...i'd like to have that back rest for mine,if it's a decent original.

Nice.. REAL nice! If you ever sell it make sure you know the person.

Beings,I built a tracker years ago..It is hard to know "when it's done".

Nice cover! Did you do that yourself? I remember someone here was doing one.. I was thinking of the stiched top patern like my original but the seat cover guy talked me out of it. It would of cost to ...

[quote="Barbara"]Scalejockey,

Is it my middle-aged eyes, or are you not running any rear turn-signals? I prefer the bike without the signals, and did that for years, but now have both front and rea ...

Kinda like knowing how to kick a bike.. The use of the timing light has gone wayward due to modern systems..
I'd check it with a timing light to see if the timing is consistant and in the right pl ...

My order went well,parts are what you pay for them..(generic).

I did do a 3 gear in one and swore i'd never do that again!

That's it!! I like the "not too bold", lighter gold color.

I'm going to have a local guy do mine. I'm getti ...
