What bike did you work on today?

I’m going to grease this thing up. I was selling it but I’m glad I ended up keeping it.

It's that time of year. Snow tire swap on my '61 Deluxe Hornet. A bit noisy but rides very smooth.

Finished up the persons tombstone today. When I reassembled the glass back in the metal casing I added a little felt to the back to make a tight fit so the glass can’t rattle in the casing. I try to remedy all rattling for a smooth rider!

What is the purpose of that squiggly tail at the bottom of the fender? Nice looking bike.

Thanks for the reply. That totally makes sense. I thought it was like a rat tail thing, kind of like the Enco Tiger Tails I had when I was a kid. Still learning about these old bikes.

Yep. My Dad brought one home after getting gas. I put it on the back of my siisy bar on the Stingray seat we had fitted to an old ( in 1965) 20" I think Hawthorne bike. Haven't seen one of those in a long time. Cool bike!

Wow those tires and rims and the seat are in great shape. The streamers and pin stripes on the rims tie in with the hot rod training wheels. Hope you find a kiddo who will appreciate it.
