Ride A Neglected Bike This Weekend!

[Saving Tempest]

This bike is neglected by all you guys. I found this under a pile of scrap metal at the county landfill about to be melted down. Most of it was there including the original manual. This bike rides great now lets hear how much you guys think it should have been left buried.View attachment 361123View attachment 361124View attachment 361125View attachment 361126View attachment 361127

Man, you tricked it out enough to actually make it just about Fly.

I neglect projects.
So if something gets loose, tightens up, or falls off, that bike gets parked.
I have others to ride.
1934 Flying Cloud got out today for the 1st time in a lil' while.
It needed the seat clamp replaced.
Pretty lame excuse; but I'd rather Ride.

When I look back at old threads I see bikes I no longer have. This Higgins is one of them. I bought this bike from Robin Bridges and I know he regretted selling it to me. I get that way myself when I look back at bikes I've owned and have sold. Robin sold me this bike for 700 bucks, just as you see it, less the batwing light. I already had a nice green batwing before I bought it. He removed his light when he sold it to me. I do miss this bike. These Higgins are sharp looking. Like I said, I knew Robin regretted selling it so last fall I sold it back to him, for 700 bucks . I called him last week and before I hung up, I said, "You still got the Higgins?" Like me, he's sold off most of his collection. He said he won't sell it. He enjoys it too much to let it go again. That's what makes this hobby fun. Bikes just kinda come and go and sometimes they make their way back home.

Another neglected bike dug out from the back of the pile. She's rideable, but I'd rather not until the loose BB joints are brazed up.

I have the hardest time trying to just keep air in the tires when I do pick out a neglected bike to ride...

Here's one I haven't really ridden since May of 2013. Got it out, put air in the tires, tightened a few loose spokes, a quick check ride, and hope it holds up for the ride in Charlotte tomorrow! V/r Shawn

I got this bike this summer, I just put it in the line up. Yesterday I pulled it out and aired up the tires and took for a spin. Rides great 1948 CCM
