Well at least he was well protected!

Was unexpectedly "volunteered" by the better half today.

Protested with "I don't want to spend two hours driving to do that" to which she responded with "It's sunny and high 70s.... no tools or other cargo required....Why wouldn't you ride the motorcycle?"

So I ended up winning the trifecta....helped some folks, brought happiness to the better half, and got a couple hundred miles on some back roads riding an Indian...all topped off with a whiskey and cigar.

Classify this as a good day.

Had no need for such things.

The Indian was trailered once....when I drove over to Ohio to pick it up from the guy selling it.

As I told my sons when they were little, I don't believe you.

I want to see that old panhead you picked up running down the road.

The Triumph should be roadworthy in the spring, the 53 will be next.
We are still discussing on which direction to go with it. It will be a fun project.

Just my opinion...as ill informed as it may be, the old panheads are the classic HD bikes.

Either way, projects with sons are damn fine projects.

Yep, a few more years and at least one will be around more often. One will be here in a few weeks for a month or so provided things don't get any stupider in the middle east.

We will see if we can meet in Tipton for a meal, and you can meet him.

So, my son decides to buy a “classic” motorcycle that he’s wanted for a long time. Suddenly a Buell 1125R winds up in my garage! No problem I say and my son says: Gee Dad can you help me with a few things? So, I go to work on some electrical gremlins and lo and behold I’ve got it running beautifully!
I’m retired and I love these projects and when a plan comes together!
That’s what Dads do!

I still don't understand how that happened...

Possibly a quick shifter. Looks like the guy on the left was messing with the controls before the other guy nailed his throttle.
That's only a guess though.
