oops, keep them scattered and hard to count!
« on: April 20, 2015, 12:09:10 AM »
 Due to the unexpected return of a race car project I had to move all the bikes to the house garage for a couple days and leave my truck outside. Uhoh. There they were all in a row ready for counting by the CFO of this household. She came out to see the race car and I was doing OK when she counted up 6.  Then my buddy had to mention the drag bike on the table in the back shop.
 Why does everyone have to be so helpful? Besides 4 are for sale, well OK just the one right now but if I ever get back to work on them it will be 4. Or was it 3? hmmm.

 Anybody want to buy a nice 850 yamaha?

I for one would like to see pictures of all the bikes and especially the racer. I have pics somewhere of a garage I used to have with 3 of my bikes and a roommate's 750 chop but I like seeing more than a few bikes in one setting.....especially when they are 60's-70's vintage. In the 80's I had a roommate that had 3 bikes and a little 50cc Yami trike for his kid. I moved in with 2 bikes and shortly therafter he got another roommate in there that worked at the local Honda/Harley shop. This guy moved in while I was on a rafting weekend away from home. When I got back Sunday night there were 4 more bikes in the garage! Good times....... 8)

I'll see what I can do, Here's the two K0's the red is a sandcast and black is my hot rod 836. I got the original bars and rear wheel for the sandy. I bought a repo 4-4 exhaust for it last fall.
