Check out the stats…

Found another add, ( wouldn’t upload ), Price in 1975 was $595.00 That was about what I was making a month back then. Back when you got your moneys worth, made less but your dollar bought more and a better quality product. Could buy a months worth of groceries to for about $100… and my rent was $150.00 a month… living cheap in Oklahoma… Man! A guy has one of these on Craigs List, right now, asking $4800.00. I think that,  “THAT’S TO MUCH!”

Here ya go…

1981 H.D./AMF Sportster/Ironhead

Bought this “basket case” for $2500, rode it on one cylinder 40+ miles, blowing smoke all the way, to a small M.C. mechanic I knew so he could do the top end. When he got it apart he said that the piston that was blowing smoke had a hole in it the size of a quarter! It was origionally black with a regular sporty tank but I went through it, painted the frame and had another friend of mine paint it with a two part custom epoxy paint. Used S&S carb and other misc parts to get her looking the way she did. Rode her to Daytona twice before selling,(for$4500), to move to Ohio from Fla. The main thing I hated about the bike was that it had an old generator system that never charged right and that valves needed adjusting constantly and after about 4 or 5000 miles, another top end… the rebuild took about 6 months and was a real learning experience but was easier to work on that I thought it would be as everything was S.A.E. and I got a lot of bolts and stuff from the hardware store…

I’m sending pics. of my 72 scrambler, my 73 CB 350 only 2,700 miles ( which I may sell) and another 72 scrambler 350 ( which I would
like to sell) it has 9k miles runs, but need a few thing to make it nice. I have the sidecovers, but they are rough and will need repainted. PS. keep me in the loop on the ride in the spring.

 Finilly got it finished.This bike is un-restored,it had a few parts taken off.When was the last time you seen an Elsinore with all the lights,horn and the reflectors????The little bike runs better than it looks.

Garden Shed turned Workshop

I don’t have a garage but I do have a rather large garden shed that is bigger,inside, than some bedrooms I’ve had. It should be easy to heat, when I need to but it’ll only hold one bike. The other 79 750 will be going over to my Landlady’s garage which is a big double in which she only uses 1/2 for her new pickup.
