I’m feeling a little under the weather, really should be sleeping to rest but these bikes are haunting me. O.k. time to call it a night.

Brings a smile to my face

It’s difficult to express to your wife how a 60+ year old piece of engineering can bring out an emotion of happiness in you by just sitting there, still, motionless. If you are here reading this, you understand : ).

Oh no, I’ve come across another major time killer. Soaking up some cool history at http://www.motorcyclemuseum.org. Tonnes to read and look at. Some pics from the site, my focus is on the racers at the moment.

Got my father’s old nick name.
Very fitting, image #1000 of my blog, it marks a time for change.
Followed me home tonight, and will be keeping my wife and I company at meal times until the build begins : ). Thanks Jason.
I know it’s all going to be real good.

More Shinya – still loving my ironhead
Posted by Hon | January 16th, 2010 | Filed under Blog
Another old shot of Shinya and a Shinya Zero Era Ironhead. Been posting a lot of flathead shots lately but have been spending quality time with the ironhead too. Have a few small plans for it in the spring. The stance on this thing is cool. I’m a small guy too, could work for me even better with the bars taller and bent up a tad.
photo from Noise blog, not sure where he got it.
