Stafford, is that your bike on eBay?   If so, any new bikes?

Hi RickS,
Yea that's mine. Don't care for the shifter that much and have the 56 automatic running like a Swiss clock now.
At this point I have 6 bikes in my shop and I'm looking at another to use as a bar hopper. "Although I don't go to bars"
I'm not really that much of an engine guy but I love customizing them and such.
I try to buy things that are running so I can spend time on paint and custom work.
My son has a grown pounding bar bike and I thought I'd try and build one similar to his.
If you like I'll send you a couple of pic's of my work.
Cheers my friend
Stafford

Hi RickS,
Here are a few pics of some of the bikes I played with.
I also included a pic of our camp trailer.
After breaking the tongue off once on the east coast and then once on the west cost I purchased a car hauler
and grafted the trailer to it. Did all the welding, fiberglass work and painting myself.
Oh and if the pics are to large try opening them using the title below the thumb nail.
Cheers to you.
