I live for the CABE
I have been a member on here for a short time and have enjoyed reading the responses of different members back and forth on listings , it's obvious that some members have been on here a long time and have developed friendships and personal relationships and trust. I see that member's travel great distances to bike meets, swap meets and other advents, and added photo's of their bike collections from classic to rare for others to view but not just one but multiples, what am I getting at? Possibilities, between having bikes and parts at all different stages and members that are working or retired to hobbyists that have fabrication to engineering skills why could it not be possible to duplicate, replicate, manufacture certain items, starting with key parts like horn tanks, the resources are available for reproduction. and can be done in fiber glass or metal even casting, have you owners ever talked about getting together to come up with these items to finish with your rare projects using your own parts to be used as a master mold? you all know pretty much who's, who and what could be done, maybe not everything like the horn buttons or certain electrical connections. If you were missing a hanging horn tank wouldn't it be great to at least have the tank and look for the hardware than to have nothing hanging where a tank should be? cant there be a collective in cooperation in achieving and working on some scale in bringing back much needed items from the past that would benefit so many? the smartest people are right here on this Cabe site in every category with the resources..........what are your thoughts
