That similar to Heathkit?

Agree completely - I say it all the time when new, younger members of another site I'm on talk about taking their twin to a local Honda shop to get the engine rebuilt because they don't think they can - the techs at that shop are younger than the bike you need rebuilt and they likely don't know enough about them

Yup. Just got into the shop a pair of early 70s Honda twins, both with less than 6,000 miles. I could stare at them for hours.... Am I sick or what? :)
Of course - I think we all are, I know that feeling too. Even after [urlhttps://www.hondatwins.net/forums/1-project-log ... -time.html]my 450[/url] was finished, I'd find myself in the garage for something and end up looking at my bike for quite a few minutes, enjoying the result of my hundreds of hours of effort... quite satisfying.

Items in your outbox will stay there until the recipient opens them whereupon they will be moved to your sent folder.

Robin tried to steer us back to Interesting motorcycles and interesting people earlier in this thread. But I think Mike started something golden here. He has a knack for touching on thoughts that are actually always vocalized. The ramblings induced here because of that are just a snapshot of the inner workings of the minds of the interesting collection of motorcycle-obsessed individuals that haunt this board. Perhaps it was a cyber-Freudian slip to inhibit editing the initial thoughts that spew out. Maybe editing those thoughts in this thread would not be a good thing!

Merry Christmas to all the interesting people out there! (Now about that backwards Hindu swastika…)
