I Live in them thar hills iv lived here all my life saw a lot of changes take place and some of them have been just awful to these old mountains I can throw a rock and just about land it on the Blue ridge Parkway, iv rode it from one end to the other lots of times and then through the Shenandoah or great smoky mountains depending on which way I turned when I pulled out of the driveway it sure is a beautiful place to ride. I got pictures of all kinds of vehicles iv restored over the years and I’ll try to figure out how to post some up and even some of this old bike I’m working on I’m pretty fair mechanic and even doing some bodywork and paint bu this computer stuff is not so easy for me, Thanks for all the kind welcomes.

Hi(gh) from Colorado!
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

The demons are repulsed when a man does good. Use that.
Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.
