HELLO TO ALL
THIS IS ALL NEW TO ME, SO GIVE ME A LITTLE BREAK. I STARTED THIS BLOG AS A WAY TO GIVE THE FEW PEOPLE WHO REALLY CARE A WAY TO FOLLOW MY PROGRESS ON BUILDING MY 1954 PANHEAD MOTORCYCLE. I'VE OWNED THE BIKE SINCE 1974, AND IT'S BEEN THROUGH A FEW DIFFERENT PHASES, BUT MOSTLY IT'S SAT IN BOXES FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS.
I JUST STARTED LOOKING THROUGH ALL THE BOXES AND DOING SOME FITTING, SO I DON'T HAVE ALOT OF PROGRESS FOR MY EFFORT YET. I ONLY WORK ON IT A NIGHT OR TWO A WEEK, SO IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE. THAT'S ALRIGHT THOUGH BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A TON OF MONEY TO SPEND ON IT ANYWAY.
I HAVE KEPT THE BIKE ALL THESE YEARS AND COLLECTED PARTS ALONG THE WAY BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST MOTORCYCLE I EVER OWNED. I PURCHASED THE BIKE FROM THE SECOND OWNER AND HE HAS SINCE PASSED AWAY. I ALSO WNAT TO PUT IT TOGETHER BECAUSE I HAVE AN ORIGINAL TIN SIDECAR.
AS I GO ALONG AND FIGURE THINGS OUT, I WILL POST SOME PICTURES AND THINGS OF INTEREST. I SUPPOSE THIS BLOG WILL ALLOW ME TO SHARE SOME OF MY OTHER INTERSTS AS WELL.
WELL, THAT'S ALL THERE IS FOR NOW. TALK TO YOU SOON,

Looking forward to seeing your progress. You need to find Pete's ad in an old phone book and get that posted over on the right somewhere. The first day I worked for him he showed me the ad and said if I was going to work there, I was going to have to remember that it was his name in the ad and I was going to have put out quality work. A "Quality Shop of Master Craftsmen" it certainly was. After about 40 years in the trade, I think I can live up to that now.
ReplyDeleteHI "BOB"
ReplyDeleteNOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK ABOUT HIM. DO YOU REALIZE THAT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN 93 THIS YEAR? I CAN'T POSSIBLY PICTURE HIM AT 93. GEEZ THOUGH I MISS TALKING TO HIM AND UNCLE "SCREED".
