Thanks everyone for letting me show off my new toy. I appreciate the replies.
I put another 160+ miles on the bike today (have 200+ miles on her). She's very well composed. I can't wait to open it up over 4,500 RPM and see what she really does. Only negatives (which aren't really negatives) are the sound is very docile and I want more torque. Both may be easily cured with RPMs above 4,500...
Congrats on the beautiful bouncing baby. The nursery looks nice. You're in Plano too huh? Let me know if you want to get together for a ride.
Fuzzy: We rode up to Lake Ray Hubbard and Pilot Point area this morning. It would have been nice to have another FJR pilot along for the ride. Got back by 11am before it got too hot. e-mail me, we should certainly coordinate our tours...
The "A" is a 1962 MK II and not the coveted TwinCam. Frame up restoration with every nut and bolt refurbished or replaced.
I bought the car when I was 16 flippin' burgers at McDonalds driving mom's baby-puke-orange Datsun 210 station wagon back and forth to Micky D's . It was primer colored with no interior and didn't run(1986). My dad and I got it running within a day or two and is pictured below as it originally looked. That's me at 16 in the driver's seat.
Several thousand hours and tens of thousands of dollars later (about 20-years later) it looked like this (2005):
The daily beater/tow vechicle (a black Ford Expy)doesn't fit in the garage. The RED Honda 919 has got to go...it doesn't fit the monochormatic color scheme.
