Nice!
I also have holes in the personal schedule. Maybe time to put the old '66 BSA back on the road.

I've also collected enough parts over the years to assemble another knucklehead. Given the economic forcast, doing what you have always wanted to may be beyond reach if you don't do it now.

Re: So Much Time On My Hands...Gave My Bike A Face Lift...


Looks great in the pics. I need to get those hand guards, I'm getting tired of replacing clutch handles. Last one I broke I was almost 20 miles back in the desert in Utah , I was actually on the rim overlooking the Colorado river, I guess it wouldn't be the Grand Canyon techinically at that point, but it sure looks like it there.

Anyways I did something stupid and snapped my clutch lever and had to ride about 20 miles out of there without it. That was a bitch. Seeing your picture reminds me it's time to get a pair of those.
