Cosmetic But I LIKE IT!
« on: November 06, 2007, 09:40:45 AM »
Well I have loaned my 72 CB750 to my alma mater for their production of The Taming Of the Shrew. Just found out the Moto Guzzi 850 Eldarado they had on loan is pretty, but not so reliable. I am sad because this is the best riding weather right now and it is... well what it is. Plus I have a carb fighting me and it is only running on three and no fix it until next week. Well these things are reliable...
Changes include the Dunstall body work, taillight, fork brace, 75'Gl front end, head light bucket that came with the bike, but is from points known only in Japan. That is a tool bag on the front forks.
I plan to put some matching rims on that I have. Will have to switch swingarms for the disc brake. And I do have a small fairing that fits the light. But that is for later
Sorry for the bad pic, back stage in the dark.

OK, remind me... which one of the characters in Shakespeare rode a chopper?

I always thought ol' Bill was more of a Vincent loyalist.  :D

Hamlet, drove the chopper, Hamlet. ;D ;D ;D

Aparently this has been done with the same play in that 1960s vein. I have to go out and charge the battery as it died last evening. The stage carries its own voodoo. The actor thinks it is him (second bike that has shown problems) And I think he is right. ;)

Yeah, I'm an actor. I've done Shakespeare set in a 1920's circus in Newark, NJ and another one in the California gold rush era. Seen it portrayed as in both 40's and 50's in varying parts of the world. It's funny to hear Elizabethan vocabulary spoken with a think New York accent.   ;D

All in all, I think he would have been Vincent man, too.

KB02 youse mus' be mad, ah tousand' times mad! ;D

I am more of a set guy when I am allowed and I do have funny memories of one done in a heavy southern accent with a dukes of hazzard feel to it. ;). Some argue that the current drawl in the deep south closely resembles the evolution of the language for that time. It does make you smile. :)
