They work great. You got all kinds of good accessories too.

I also picked up a prewar rollfast tool box tank and a rain gutter Fender tail light. I think my Columbia streamline will get the tail light and the tank may go on a shelf for a while

Set up a small spot downstairs yesterday for a few. Nothing fancy they just needed a spot to be! 67 AMC muscle, 64(+/-) Firestone, and 38 Schwinn C

Picked up this cool depression era homemade diving helmet. When I saw it I just had to have it, don't ask me why. Researching it, found that Popular Mechanic's magazine published how to articles for these & evidently a lot were made during the 1930's. No two are exactly alike, which makes it a little more unique. The most well known hard hat diving rig, back then, was the WWII era Navy Mark V, nicknamed the widow maker. I can only imagine what they dubbed these things.

My recent acquisitions, though 2-wheeled, have engines.
1971 Triumph Bonneville. 6800 miles, mostly all original except for a repaint 15 years ago and recent seat cover and pipes. Starts 2nd kick (good for this old guy).

1998 ATK 600DT (factory dirt tracker). When I was an ATK dealer close to 20 years ago, we had one of these and I'd always wanted to turn it into a street bike (I still have the headlight we bought for it). They are pretty rare. This one came up for sale near me, so I'm finally going to do it. 600 Rotax engine. It has a custom tank and seat here but I have the stock parts.
