Pennies from Heaven. 

I've been lucky to find these things popping up.

It happens again!

 I attended the Antique Motorcycle Club of America's regional National Show and Swap meet.

This is not something that  you'd usually see offered for sale on CraigsList.

It was held at the Dixon California county fairgrounds. I could claim that attending this event changed my life!

Maybe it wasn't really life changing, but it was reaffirming to one of my life long loves.

My hand drawn wiring diagram.

As I mentioned in my last post, I had experienced a brake problem and was expecting to find a noticeable leak in the system. I did not find any leaking, however the problem could have been caused by an internal leak in the master cylinder.

 This Summer, during a trip to Reno I visited the National Auto Museum.

A Post War version of the Lincoln Continental.

This is part of what was once known as the Harrah's Collection. This collection was formerly housed in a couple of large warehouses located on the outskirts of the city. Many years ago, almost fifty to be exact, I visited the old display site, which was somewhat cluttered and not viewer friendly. I have an album of grainy old Instamatic prints of that visit. This time I brought my digital camera along with me. The images are much sharper.

Adding an extra electric circuit.

Finally! It's about time.

Hey, I've been quite busy lately.

 I found a bike on CraigsList that seemed to check off most of my boxes. A 1997 HD 883.

Asking price was 2,200.00.
It looks pretty good in the pictures.

It was located in Salinas, about an hour away.

Brutal Elegance.

So what result exactly, would I be trying to achieve? The brutal simplicity of a vintage board track racer is the image that I dream of. Of course I can't build an exact replica, it could not be driven on the street. However, it is the essence, or spirit of the bike that I would like to channel.
