First bike for him,  he only got his first car 4 months back.
 He is way behind the curve on mechanical stuff, we all learned it much earlier in life.
 Yes I will try to teach him a few things, using this as a way to do it.,

 The bike I basically ok, wept for some nastyframe damage,  and fork corrosion.  Really fugly pipes were on it, but I have a 4-1 for it. But it was real cheap and has reggie, and fired up on about 3 cylinders easily. Cases look good fins pretty good.. It was under 300 bux and 4 hrs away.

Looks like Terry's hillbilly thread might have some compitition with you delivery system!

Good find. That's how I taught my kid, only it was a Toyota 4x with a bad motor. That was over 12 years ago and we still talk about it from time to time. I told him as long as he was helping the work would continue, if he stopped then I stopped. It worked out very well.

I hope you enjoy the bike but most of all enjoy the time with your son.

Sweden apparently likes to heat the cargo area and enclose it...

Carried home from Phoenix a Honda C70 Passport in my 86 Volvo 240 sedan with wheels on. 


Bike was not in the trunk, but inside the cabin.

In 81 , in December,  I decided to go after a yet unfulfilled dream..
 Spend a Winter in Calfornia..
 So flush with cash after, a few months working in the woods clearing, for a dam project, I set out.
I wanted to cruise in style in my 62 BelAir Bubbletop. So I pulled out all the seats  made a ramp and rolled my Amen 750 chopper in backwards through the drivers door. Whenbthe front wheel got to the sill, I removed that, pulled the bike the rest of the way in. Then installed 2 bucket seats and off I went
 I spent from Dec 27th to Feb 4 away, headed straight south. Spent the most glorious winter cruising around California. . Went to the Rock Store every Sunday..
  Fun times..

Confession...
 AT 15 YEARS OF AGE  1971, i got the brilliant idea to go to California for the winter..
 I think I had like 23.00. I started the November day like any other, pretended to go off to school. But got my stashed gear, got on the highway and hitchhiked South . Snuck across the border into the USA.
 Spent a very cool night under the roof of a church  no air mattress.. freaking cool out.
 The next morning I went to a place and got some surplus Navy gloves, stiff as a board. Figuring to wash them, headed to a laundromat, when a guy in a Corolla pulled up , smoking a Colt cigar.  Wearing a Lee Stormrider jacket..  after a quick exchange, turns out he was Border Patrol,and he grabbed me. 
 I got sent home...
 So it took a few more years, to fulfill that Dream....

One time Henry showed up at my place in the CA high desert with his XR500 strapped down on it's side to the roof of a POS Honda Civic wagon. :o How he managed to wrestle it up there I don't know. Damn, he passed 6 years ago today.. :'( :'(

Scott, it is strange how it still stings the loss of a close close friend like Henry after so many years.  You guys were like brothers.

Raise a glass to Henry, one of a kind and still sorely missed!
