This is The beginning of my great dream. A cupboard full of parts was still
a ways from being in the wind again. |
Here's The Heart of My Old Girl. A 1980 80 cubic inch Shovelhead. S&S
Rods and an Andrews B-Grind, with a little work to the heads. This
is the first motor that I have together (twice now). I had a blast and
learned LOTS about my bike. |
Merry Christmas To Me! Thanks to my good friend Harold for finishing my
paint job well before Xmas. This was my Christmas Present to myself. Yes,
it was an excellent Christmas. |
At this point I really began to feel like I was getting somewhere. It was
a long cold winter and she was ready to ride before the snow was gone. |
Well here she is: ready to roll. This was taken minutes before the first
ride. Around the block, back home for a couple minor adjustments and the
next few hours lovin life. Sure did like the way it looked with no fender. |
It only took one ride in the rain to get my fender on. My Friend Bill made
me some custom mounting brackets to make this fender work with this front
end (he also made me a cool alimunum chainguard, and an awesome seat-neither
of which I have a pic of yet.) |
