Good Morning everyone,

After many years I have obtained a new "project".  I was given a really "rough" in several boxes a 1972 Honda 350 Four.  This might be the hardest project yet.

Anyway, we will see how it turns out.  As for me, I have been riding for most of my life.  Used to work for Caterpillar until the economy turned sour and I got laid off.  So now after two years being unemployed, I have found myself looking for new things to do.....since I am an "old" guy 60+, no one really wants to hire us old folks.....so I fix computers on the side, do woodworking projects and ride.

My first bike was a 100CC Hodaka that would run at idle but not stall when a load was placed on it.  This bike was given to me and my wife had a fit....big fight....but she got over it and I fixed the bike by cleaning out the carbon in the muffler....being a 2 cycle, the muffler was plugged.  Repaired a bent front wheel and the bike ran great.......traded it for a 250CC Suzuki 2Cycle street bike.....and have never stopped riding.

It is great being in the south as you can pretty much ride all year.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!
