Sunday's Show and Tell .. 7/17/22

My brother grabbed this Lil' Tiger from a dumpster. It's not really my thing, but the price was right.





The seat and sissy bar have, uhh, issues.

I've been working on this deal for a couple of months and I finally got it home. My first Harley, an '87 Heritage Softail, super clean. 87 was the year my wife and I were married.

This was an estate sale score a couple of weeks ago. An '81 supergoose with lots of nice parts on it. I've been wanting a mongoose for over 40 years and finally have one. I was saving my money when I was about 12 years old, I used to visit the mongeese at my local bike shop in Niles, Michigan. I had the money saved after the summer of '82 but when I saw ET at the theater, I had to have a Kuwahara, so I bought a KZ1 and rode it till it broke.

I finally took the trip to Ohio to pick up the cruiser I bought on DOND a couple months ago. Since we are both retired now, my wife and I drove up there on a Tuesday and made a mini vacation out of it, staying in Cleveland, we had a great time with great weather. I ended up with the second cruiser still in the box. I'll probably let loose of that one, maybe I will take it to a show later in the year. I may be going to Pittsburg, then Kratefest and maybe Memory lane. I'll be sure to describe it better. I am very pleased with the bikes.

I didn't find this I made this fender ornament out of a broken toy airplane missing the wheels, drilled and tapped al-thread stud and wheels off a toy car, but now what bike to put it on?

This 1945 Simplex Servi Cycle came my way and this stellar CWC drop stand for my parts queen stash! Thank you @Glenn Rhein for the assist.

A week late on this one as I’m still away from home on much needed vacation… Found this 64 Opal deluxe in a pile of throw away furniture. Already have some of the missing parts.

This majestic has been on Facebook for a bit.
very clean all the way down to the original seat. Price drop to double digits made me take it home.

Better late than never....

Here are some fun things I've acquired this summer. One I stole from Flyod on his trip to visit me... haha.

One is my new baby, a 2019 certified used Rav4.
Kia maaaaay have gone up in smoke on the way home from my thesis defense... the day I was supposed to start my road trip to LA to live there for the summer.
So those plans got canceled. But I'm atleast glad she did it a mile from my house and not in some national park.


So this is Sporty Spice

Picked up a 1942 Hawthorne on Craigslist the other day. All original, down to the batteries. Only exception being grips, rear carrier added to relocate the tail light & add carrying capacity, right Torrington men's pedal. Wire & switch for brake light is there.

Whoever added the carrier took great care to find an aftermarket rack that had holes that lined up with the taillight pod & soldered little clips to hold the wire.
