Got a 46 knucklehead I've been toying with since I was a teen. All chopper but it sits in the back of my shop until I need to work on something to cool me off. I ever got done with it I doubt I'd know what to do.
I'd like to get my hands on a indian scout that's a basket case to make a chopper out of.

Yall keep the t-stat turned down too low up there.
One thing I've noticed on bikes is its easy to find parts for old HD and indians. The aftermarket for ricers isn't as great. Got a buddy who has a 86 silverwing and he gets mad cause I can find parts easier and cheaper for my 46.

1990 cbr600 f1. Affectionately known as "Frankenbike" because of the usage of zip ties to hold the plastics together

My classics are:
1971 Honda CB350
1979 BMW R100RT
The bike I typically ride around though is my 2002 Harley-Davidson Nighttrain. It gets about 45mpg and makes up for the blazer's horrible gas mileage haha.

re: classic motorcycles
Here's some pictures of my restored bikes. For those of you who need parts and can't find them where you live drop me a pm, I have several sources here in the states and over seas .. I also have many extra parts for Silverwings and Goldwings.
Can't beat an early model Goldwing for cruising and dependability.
