Decided to take the 49 Higgins out . This is a 1949 [that's the year Tinker was born] j. C. that I installed a 1950 Higgin's springer on. I kept the original truss rod fork that I intend to re-install.
Kind of a funny day today. One minute the sun is out , the next it looks like rain. Typical Chicago weather.
First stop was the pond. Saw a blue heron looking around and surprised he did not fly off. I have seen these things wade in the shallows catching fish after fish. As fast as a bullfrog is these birds slurp down big bullfrogs like a mouthful of jelly.
Here is a shot of him under the tank....
He turns his head here obviously to check out the Higgins....." I know pal, sharp bike."
Then thru the spokes....... Now he is thinking, "Leave me alone pal, I'am fishing".
Then went over to Herb's house to gas up......
Just love those "bee hive " springers.
Then went back home.
