Taking a leave from Hot Rods.

Completely lost interest in hot rods. Sold my '29 and every hot rod part I owned...two extra running flatheads..several grill shells..Model A frames..lots of wide five hubs and wheels..half dozen #78 Gearboxes. No regrets, although I'll probably get lured back and wish I had my stuff back....I did keep an old Austin cowl..hmmmm.

Probably won't last, but I am going to focus on Cushman Scooters for a while.

I've had fun on the HAMB...more fun when there were less than 1500 users than it is now, but it's still a lot of fun. Ryan and the mods have done a hell of a job. I'll be lurking off and on, but will keep my piehole shut for a while.

 

You can't stay away.....

 

For sure, you can't just stay away totally - we need to hear a peep out of you from time to time.

We will miss you.

 

April 1st was yesterday.

 

Sorry to see you go, but sometimes we all need a break. Your knowledge (and opinions) will be missed.
Post some Cushman pics from time to time, they're always cool to see.

You need to talk to your psykiatrick doc.
Or maybe I doo.

 

I also mess with scooters and vintage minibikes and they are cool in the fact that you can totally restore one in about a month, where as a car takes me forever and I usually run out of money about the same time I get burnt out on a car project !!

 

If i had a dollar evertime i thuoght the same i would have mo money for hot rod parts.

 

Does your dog get to ride inside now? I will miss seeing that running board dog carrier. Way too weird.

 

It happens to us all, see ya when ya get back

 

That's the truth...

 

I have said this exact same thing more than 8 times already. See you in a month, try not to catch a chill from the night sweats.

 

Oh yeah, you will relapse like the rest of us. Nice try though

 

I made it two years once, only to come back. Well rested and happy to be back,

 

It only lasts a couple months.

 

Some relapses take longer but we will see you when you come back.

 

Everyone needs a break... Good Luck in your Cushman ventures!

 

I used to be deep into VWs and I did the same thing in 96, sold everything.
now I wish I could have just saved it all, I would be rich!!
I sold my complete 63 23 window bus for $4500 ARGH!!!

Good Luck...

 

I tried that for 20+ years,went to the opening of Topeka Raceway,and that was it. The smell of fuel and burning rubber did me in. You'll be back . NO way to get gas and oil out of your system.

 

YEAH RIGHT!! I am currently into the 2 wheels stuff as well, I spent some time on some bike sites but their just not the HAMB!!!!! Since I'm a hot rodder/kustom guy and not a biker, here I am. SORRY GUYS?

 

Hope you are feeling better soon ....

 

Completely disagree. Sure, all off us need a break every once in a while. But selling off everything? Sounds like maybe something different.

 

Remember American Graffiti? .... chicks don't dig scooters.

 

I suspect this is an april fools stunt, but I'll play along. I have a buddy who has a major chevy II/acadian fetish, he does this every few years. I always buy a bunch of stuff off him cheap, 6 months later, he's calling me up looking for parts...

 

Boo Whoo Whoo, Bye. I love people that have to tell you there done with something......if your done just go.

 

I have done it, sold it all house cars exc. If it's what you love you'll be back.

 

How long before you "HOT ROD" a Cushman. An aquaintance from a former job has one from the '50s (enclosed back wheel and almost a fin bodywork) that he is building. it is lowered in the back, has ape hangers and a modified Buell Blast enging hooked to a snowmobile CVT trans ...

... see you never really get away !!!
