Reply:I bet the neighbors love it in the morning I like the retro paint job. It really made the bike. Good job.
Reply:I had one that was blue.It had been bored and stroked, with eletronic ignition and k and n kit when I bought it.  It had been used as a drag bike, but they had put the short swing arm under it to return it to street conditions. But it still had the pan seat. It could keep up with bigger bikes, but it could not out break them as I found out one day riding with a group of guys.(One guy changed lanes with out warning...I put it down to keep from killing him and me and went for a long slide along the pavement.  Come to find out he didn't have a license or insurance.)  Got it back together and two weeks later, a guy backs over it in the parking lot and drags it under his truck for 40 yards.  The old fellow didn't even know it was under the truck until he tried going forward.  Best little small bike built in the day.Esab Migmaster 250Lincoln SA 200Lincoln Ranger 8Smith Oxy Fuel setupEverlast PowerPlasma 80Everlast Power iMIG 160Everlast Power iMIG 205 Everlast Power iMIG 140EEverlast PowerARC 300Everlast PowerARC 140STEverlast PowerTIG 255EXT

Reply:[QUOTE=7A749;420110]Looks cool.That plate traveled to a LOT of different places. The stories it could tell. Guess that's why I always held on to it. Had some great times on that bike. The plate hangs on a nail in my shop. I smile about every time I look at it Jake, great job and apologies for the hijack..but 7a749's post brought me back to my old bike...1970 triumph bonneville..bought it in london and drove it home from the dealers  at rush hour on the wrong side of the street with  london traffic circles..put lotsa miles on it over there and brought it back home..long gone now..but i still got my plate...
