It'd be huge if had less stuff. I just can't figure out how.
You can at least bring all your Lego's over here. That's a bin or two out of your way.

My brother bought this to my attention this morning. Still alive and kicking. https://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/cto ... 87721.html

My windshield finally showed up. Ordered over 2 months ago and apparently made to order. Quality looks good.

Also just ordered some saddlebags and tool bag. Should be here next week. Once I get them mocked up I'll decide if I like them or not. Might have to keep hunting.

More updates coming...

Just sold the Neon to a father/son tweaker duo. Mixed emotions.

Are the mixed emotions from selling a car you put a lot of time and effort into to some tweakers who may trash it, or the fact that they now know where you live?

Also the fact that, from listening to those two idiots talk, the poor car probably won't live to see 2019.

I'm mostly over it.
On a brighter note, my Christmas present to myself just got delivered. The top of the door is taller than I am.

Now I finally have a secure place to store my spare Datsun parts.

Two things...

Klever Lever "cruise control" for the Indian.

Also took a gamble on an old table saw. Near as I can tell it was made in 1949 or 1950. I like sturdy old tools. It needed a ton of clean up and adjustment. Degreased it, leveled all the extension wings, sanded it, ran a file over it, sanded it some more. I also had to build a fence for it. Thanks to the big cast iron top, it weighs a ton. Seems to run okay. Still need to glue my slide surface to the bottom of the fence and pick up a new blade before I put it to work. They really don't make 'em like this anymore.
