Thanks for that GermanTrick, it's really stuck with me. These four, well-worded sentences say it all. I am the same age as you, but my Dad was not a rider. It's really touched me. I guess I'm relating to that concept of "body aging; mind still young."
Great pics of your pop as well. He IS quite a guy.

man i am kicking my self in the nuts for passing up a '64 BSA B40 Scrambler

i would love to have a real vintage dirt bike

Xcuvator · 03-14-2010, 05:44 PM

This has been my main MC project this winter. The bike has been in the family since new. It was ridden in scrambles in California and Arkansas by my Uncle. I've had it for about 15 years and until now felt bad about not doing anything with it.
The bike was in pretty rough shape but mostly all there.

66 Triumph T100C

For some reason I don't often take "before pictures of the bikes that I restore.

Wow, good for you! My dad bought new, rode street, and raced his TR6C in these SoCal deserts...it looked identical to this the day he brought it home...

Drop Dead gorgeous Rapid Dog. What year is it ? The seat looks 66< and the exhaust 67> ?
Is there a little space above the top of the headlight brackets, between the brackets and top tube clamp? I have one and can't figure out why. I have had the forks apart twice thinking something is amiss.

Udo · 03-15-2010, 08:30 PM

Here's one I finished a few years ago. Updated with 8" TLS brakes, later carb. It gets ridden a lot.

My old high desert ride. Do two-strokes count?
