Very nice RickS,
I like the fresh barn find look.
The bikes I have although tempting to repaint and chrome out parts.
I like them looking very close to the way I got them.
My daily driver has my hand all over it but it is the horse not the buggy.
I play with paint and custom touches on then but, reluctant to do so on old iron.
Again your Rat is very nice. Thanks for the look.
Cheers
Stafford

RickS,
Think you might post a pic. of the rat bike?

Hi Guys,
Just got the title and insurance done on the 56.
Man I just love Hagerty Ins.
Adding the second Simplex with all the coverage raised the policy $15 a year.
Wish my truck insurance was that low.
Now my wife and I both will be terrorizing the big city of Burton Tx.
Happy Resurrection Day
Cheers

Hi Sonrisers,
VERY NICE, I was wondering how things were progressing.
Can't wait to see them.

Hi Guys,
Don't know if you have run into this before but, the gears on the 56's kick starter are worn to the point of not catching on the crank gears. Not having a spare "of course" ; I flipped the gear on the kick starter. It is off set a little but it was not enough to stop it from catching. Starts now with no problem. Just an idea if you find yourself there.
Cheers

Hi Craig,
Wow.......... did you do good or what. I have a 47 also and my wife put the claim on a 56 we just purchased.
If you want to make a little money I'll give you 700 for the bike " nudge, nudge , wink, wink.
You really got a deal. I love these bikes and have been aware of them for years but, only purchased my first last December.
This is a great sight with very knowledgeable people on it. Post a few pics. when you can.
Cheers
Stafford

Thanks Reese,
That is very nice.
Sunrisors talk to me.
Spending way too much money on toys but why stop now.
Mike, thanks again; I just ordered grips from Wayne for both bikes.

Just a note:
My wife has claimed the Automatic.
She has a Yamaha 250 V Star and told me I could sell it, she wants the auto.
I just love my wife. (;-{)>
