Unedited crank up of '70 K0, been sitting 30+ years!
« on: May 27, 2014, 05:31:39 AM »
Guys and gals, here you go. I met Charles Waldrop, the new owner a year ago May21st, the day I lost Pat! So even on the worst day of my life God provided some sunshine! I told him it might take a year, that's before I knew what the rest of the day had in store for me! Austin his son gets video credits, cell phone. He did well! Hope y'all enjoy, this one means a lot to both of us. Even seemed more appropriate to fire it up on Memorial Day as Charlie is a 'Nam vet!! Thank you Charlie! Hope y'all like it. I did! K. Made me think of Russ Collins Sr.!!! He took one of these and changed the world! ;D 8)

Good to see the Master at work!
So that is/was an original bike or did you go through it?
One question, I see you rocking the bike from side to side, I suspect the purpose but what was it?

Smiles all around for the K0, but probably still a sad heart after a year though Bill. If I was more poetic I'd say something poignant, short of that good thoughts your way brother.
