“Hi here’s my V2 before indicators mirrors light removing and front fair racing shift .
ciao Anthony.”

What a fantastic ride!

$7.50 per gallon and worth every penny. 112 Octane Race gas!

The Race pump from the Daytona pits. Lord I’d love a steady supply of this stuff.

Holy Toledo Batman! A car picture in a bike blog?! But WHAT A CAR!!

This was in the parking lot at a local spring festival last weekend. It’ssuch a masterful recreation that I’m dropping it in here. Sorry I just couldn’t help myself 🙂

Rusty Old Norton Commando.

Most folks see a bike like this and visualize the “end product” of a restoration after hundreds of hours of work and thousands of dollars spent. I tend to lean the other way. I think a bike like this makes for a great rider. No fussing over every bug splatter. Just ride the damm thing and enjoy yourself. As long as it’s a mechanically safe and sound bike, then you should just revel in it’s patina. Let the vacuum sealed 100 point restoration fanatics stay at home or on the showgrounds.

Remember, “rust never sleeps” but chrome sure does..
