Duly noted. Trying to balance between cool and practical. Always a struggle. LOL
Thanks Grumpy, turns out two are broken. Sneezed at breakfast this morning and was in agony, could hardly breathe, wife took me to emergency and...
I work best off a list, decided to start one today on the RPU. This list will help keep me on track and has things that can be done without...
Warning - a bit off topic; Had a hard crash on our dual sport Friday, up on a dirt road and hit a rut that threw the wife and I off the bike. She...
At Woodland I began to make the 500 A main and rode with some very good pros (didn't beat them, just made the same race) and to be honest I'd be...
Sonny at the riders reunion at Castle Rock about ten years ago, he's posing with Jan Hoglan, widow of TL Hoglan another top NW rider that rode...
Turns out I'm not very observant, it sure looks like remnants of a battery access port in the left front of the bed panel; [IMG] So here is my...
After a couple hours of web surfing and reading, it seems like the bed could be an early 1926 Model T, as they used the stamped half moon fender...
So...do you know what it is? It's an old Ford...
Sold the Hemi today, it went to a local fellow hot rodder we met. After recently buying the trailer full of small block chevy's, I'm committed to...
I've got an old poster hanging in the shop when he was riding Norton, that was early in his career.
Sonny was a heck of a rider. One of his sponsors was Woodland Winter Track owned by Bob Couvo. They kept a 250 Elsinore there for him just in case...
@jnaki thanks a bunch for all of this great information! It hadn't occurred to me to do my own storage. As the price for Smugmug escalates and the...
Happy Easter! So to back up a little, after seeing the movie "On Any Sunday" as a Junior in high school, I really wanted to race, but my dad said...
700 mile round trip, including lake and mountain excursions in central Oregon. Going over Mt Hood was slow going.
I've been coming to the Hamb about two years or so, just discovered this motorcycle forum. I'm a slow learner! Just read @jnaki post up above,...
My stereo system is like an old home made hot rod, junk I've picked up on the cheap. I have an old 5 disc CD player, and stacks of CD's. I like to...
My b My buddy Gary W has a saying "it's not what they're asking, it's what they're paying"
Some of my pics came thru, but some are showing as a red X, what am I doing wrong? I am doing a copy and paste from Smugmug.
Spent the day in the shop, first I did something just for fun, snapped the '57 dog dishes on the RPU just to see what it will look like; [IMG] I...
You beat me to the Foreigner reference! I vote for dog dish hub caps, looks great!
Before trying to jack the old trailer up out of the dirt with a couple thousand pounds of iron in it, I first threw out a half dozen cast iron...
As @swade41 says, looks like that is the seam between the wtr pump and block. The wheels are 14.5" mobile home "clincher" style (the trailer has a...
For you 283 Chevy fans, I may have stumbled onto another good one. Some friends were buying and cleaning out an abandoned property and I looked...

In the late 60's and early 70's, my dad ran a shop out of our converted barn where we did cheap paint jobs, valve grinding and engine swaps. We...
I like Kreature! My youngest daughter started out as my shop helper for years, then as teens do, went sideways for awhile (so I relate to the Pope...
