Ed how did you get the chain guard to look that good? Did you find a NOS one or paint it?

I ended up painting it with spray can paint specifically for plastic.  I bought it at Auto Zone.

Jumpin' Jehospehat! Dang that's pretty. I must have missed that build thread.

No insults to any owners out there, but the color of that bike really turns my head. Rich, deep and timeless.

Does that gushing account for a 2nd?

I'm not surprised you missed that build thread, you spent most of your time in hospital and I'm glad you did.
Without your visits, I would have gone round the bend looking at the walls.
You are a fine guy Cal and I'll remember your kindness for many years. God bless you.

Perhaps I can clarify the situation: I think it would be fair to say he made friends with a man that is a "pain in the ass" generally. Maybe this is the source of the confusion and conjecture?  ;)
