What bike did you work on today?

[BFGforme]

Today I dug out the ole’39 dx and did some maintenance on it, aired up tires and cleaned it up and made sure the 2spd still works…lol, also threw on a coon tail courtesy of @Thee and took for a spin! Not sure why this bike doesn’t do it for me, rides quite and smoothly! Guess I’ll let someone else enjoy it if anyone interested…hint hint…lol

Little peak a boo through front fender to tire, wood pedals are pretty cool!

The "MooNark Rocket 88"
My latest project in the shop is done. Not a show bike, just a fun Hot Rod from parts gathered up between 2 old dudes!

I wish I had the fundage...I REALLY want a LaSalle badged bike as tribute to my Grandfather I never met...he had a 12cyl. LaSalle when my Dad was a kid...
I have wanted one since my Dad told me the story...

GLWS Buddy! I wish I could make it a sale! ( @Thee can have the bell)

Thanks to several forum members my "budget build" is starting to look like my old school ride from Junior HS. Still need a few parts. Pedals, fenders I can cut.

Replaced the foam grips on the 85 Cruiser 5, the original were rotted away.

Probably going to leave the fenders on it as it's good for riding when it's wet. Still need to replace the shift cable.

Two hours today to do a 15 minute job. Took the rack off my rider Phantom to mock up on the green bike I am working on. Looked good so I ordered one from Bicylebones and put it together and on my green bike in about 15 minutes. ( no fender braces )

Now comes the hard part. Putting my Phantom rack back in place, easy you say. Not when it's assembled. Got one side on after about 30 minutes. Struggled with the other side for an hour. Could not get the screw to go through two rack braces, two fender braces and the through the hole in the frame.....Then it dawned on me, these things won't go back together in one piece. Then I took the tail light off and the rear support leg off. Now I able to get all four braces to line up. Then after I got a nut on it I then re attached it to the rack and put the light back on... Wala. I can hardly move now. Remember I'm 77 and working on the garage floor.

When I grow up I wanna be just like you! Still wrenching on my bikes and riding. That would make me the happiest caber . Meant with all do respect. I have a picture of my grandfather pheasant hunting holding up two pheasants with a Parker when he was 77 I’ve always respected and cherished that photo to this day! Happy Thanksgiving you have a lot to be thankful for! Thank you for reminding me. I think our hobby is very healthy for the soul! Cabe is a Brotherhood. Rick Pope
