Remove the bike, lean up your skiis and presto - you can now call it "Happiness"

This little guy was clinging to my garage door this morning. I've never noticed this species before.

It's new to me. What is it?

I call this the 'Safety Sprocket', what do you think? Prevents you from tearing pants!

I just got my latest vintage bike resto rolling today. Only the tank and engine to go.

muchly trick!

Love the Elsinore!!!!!

Raced a 1973 CR250M back in the mid-70s.

You are doing an exceptional resto on the above example.

More pics please or maybe a link.

Cool it's nice to know your an ex moto man and those 73 models are famous for changing the face of motocross forever, shows your age too :)
This one's a 78 model shipped from the US for and ridden by Evil Knievel for his last tour of Australia. My dad bought 12 bikes including this one (I was with him age 7) from the tour promoter after the tour in 78. Also have a 77 125cc that Evil used in the Globe of Death stunt.
I haven't taken to many detailed progress photo's, there all in the link and haven't finished the fuel tank, a few dents to fix, tried a few fixes but I'll probably send it off to someone else. Also started work on the engine today.

I think you need some oil on that chain...:)

A Plumed Moth, but I can't take credit for the ID - thank Chuckk.

Very cool. You've done an amazing job. Those before & after pics are truly impressive. :thumb:

That's gorgeous.

That Elsinore is awesome. Please more pics as you go.

Rainy night in Miami Beach. Way better than the snow that greeted me when I got back to Chicago.

Hard to believe it's been over 2 years since I took my Dremel in hand.

^ Back in the saddle again!

No snow here yet in the PNW, but we had a couple days in a row up here in Caveman's Hollow where the temps stayed below freezing with high humidity and sugar-frosted my overflow woodpile.

Picked the last of the season's apples yesterday, but the kale is still going strong. It's my first season planting that; I wonder how cold it has to get before it gets killed off?

I don't think it gets that cold in the PNW. It's pretty hardy stuff.

When you have three Semi tractor sleepers sitting around, what do you do? You make a camper out of them :thumb:
