Thread: What are you working on?

I lived in Phoenix for awhile going to school and everyday I woke up in awe. Just beautiful there.

On a similar note: If I would have stopped and taken a picture of every breathtaking landscape on my trip. I truly believe that I still wouldn't have gotten home yet. And that's no BS!

The old saying 'Stop and Smell the Roses' includes 'Stop, Look and Behold' what God has given us!! And I'm not an overly religious person!

I"m glad that others have enjoyed what I was privileged to have witnessed.

No.!!
I can relate to what your saying, your pics are what I was hoping for. My friends are from a closer distance, so I can visualize it better by combining the two together. The colors are magnificent.!!![emoji7] my kind of church.

The comfort issue has become most prevalent in motorcycling these days.
Whatever and however is constantly being developed.

Sweet seats and esp the infinitely adjustable back/lumbar.

All the difference in the world, I expect!

I've had the pleasure of riding an original 1957 Harley Davidson Sportster. It had belonged to a friend's mother who had a house full of trophy's for 'Furthest Traveled' and such.

While many reading this won't know what I'm talking about--riding that bike was like going back and driving a rig with a non syncro tranny with a hand crank starter, a manual ignition advance and a two speed rear end. A whole different world.

With that said, it was a kick in the Ass to ride as you just didn't 'go down the road' you had to actually be in charge of it!

As I said, I'm very pleased with the overall engineering & craftsmanship and have complimented the company about my satisfaction.

in my experience Roy it needs to be a little lower, the closer to the small of the back will be the best support to give you more stress free miles,, but I know its a YMMV thing, but wherever you put it back rests are the way to go for us old guys on long trips.

by the way the old horse is looking good, I need to get mine looking good again,, too many parts off of it right now and alos a flat tire so I need a new tire now Tc

Gentlemen, been a while since ive posted, but the stars aligned and i have a day to myself so im cataloging some recent snags from the wild. I got a call from a local vendor that bought someones entire collection. He had some high end, high priced blades but i went for the blades under 20 beans.. names known to a collector but maybe not an antique dealer.

Apologies for the pic. My GF's Fuji camera and my $12 desk lamp aren't quite studio grade.

Anyway most of them have an old bevel and little to no rust... should be quick clean ups.

Real Nice Lot Ya Got There,, Fun,, Fun,, Ty

Nice score Matt!!!

Hey Matt! That should keep you busy a while!
