Re-birth of "The Tick"
« on: June 18, 2008, 10:55:49 AM »
It's called "The Tick" because that is the nickname of the woman who owned it. Supposedly she got the name because of her relationships with men. :P After the usual resurrection stuff (carbs, adjustments, plugs, oil change) she roared back to life with a vengeance! ;D It never fails to amaze me that these bikes can sit around for 20 years and come back to life as good as new.

There are old bikers and there are bold bikers but there are very few old, bold bikers.

Not doing what you can to make your bike ride-able during the best riding months of the year kind of defeats the purpose of owning it in the first place.

Perfectly correct Aaron.  My KO did that after 17 years...they sure knew how to build them back then.  A mechanical marvel for sure.
