This is definitely me ... probably

Is this you ?

Another motorcycle shop closes in NYC... This one was new to me ... Cool guy and a great shop space in Red Hook.. He seemed to specialize in American bikes so that's probably why I didn't know about the shop... I also learned about another shop in PA that I didnt know about until they auctioned...

So my first time actually on a gnarly course like this. The Victor performed great considering that it is geared too high. I really needed lower gearing. I never got out of 1st gear except for once when I came out into a field portion of the course. I was running on K70 street tires which killed...

Cool channel ... Makes me want more tool boxes

I heard DHL suspended all overseas shipments... ??? But who knows ..... Tariffs on Tariffs off ... like a strobe light driving the world crazy !!

Getting this little gem ready for a 6 hour round trip ride to Raystown Lake for my brothers bachelors party weekend ... Should be a good time....

Pulled this little 250 out of the barn and finally got around to checking the numbers on it. Its a 1963 Star America model BSA C15 I picked up several years ago. Felt like pulling it out and seeing just what it needs. Has compression but the tank is missing the mounting stud and related parts...

It was a dedicated piece from Lowes . Not just a piece of siding. Although its not that different other than having more of a "cup" on the bottom. . Im hoping this makeshift garage is temporary . Selling up in NYC and moving to PA full time so I will have time and hopefully, funds to do thing...
