Yea if I get to make it this year it will not be before Thursday cause the last time they ask for more cash to stay. So my early arrivals  are no more, no matter how good the deals are...  8)

I saw you two in the first ride but didn't see y'all in any others. What happened did y'all not want to ride with all the others?¿ I wished I could have been there looked to have been fun.

I like the idea of a stop on the forks to keep them from riding up when you apply the brakes.   8)

That looks great and a quick restoration. Now I'm wishing I had that much free time I've got two in the barn that I can't get to to finish.  :'( :'( :'(

Welcome Mike and Howdy from Texas. I'm shocked that there's someone out there that's listing parts at a fair price. Yes do like Rick said and post some pics of the bikes you have. Shoot we would like a pic of the stash pile of simplex parts you have.  :o

Well I've got good news and some not so good news. I'm currently north of Kansas City Missouri and the weather is better than the 113 degs I drove through. I brought the bike that was in several pieces. I planned to put it together today and test the hydraulic brakes but I'm not at my shop so I can't fix the unseen roadblocks today. I guess I'm walking again this year.  :'( :'( :'(

Well it's a lot better than what I'm going to be leaving later today. We are getting triple digits for the next few days and no signs of rain. I'm sweating just thinking about how hot it is.

 I would also solder those connections and insolate them just to be sure.

I have a question for the group???

Does anyone want to take over the gas tank project I have been trying to get going???

I will consider any offers I just don't have the time to do anything with it right now. I have been trying my best to get it up and running but there's way to many other chores and task that are talking all my time.

Rick I am trying to redo all the wrong things the moron screwed up. I am working on putting hydraulic braks on my 56 with the Honda engine on it. It will sure beat trying to push the brakes with that long flimsy rod. Wish me luck.

Well I'm planning on being there and I hope to get my brakes figured out by then. I should be there by Monday afternoon or late evening.
