Tried using Dawn and I can't believe how much time I wasted before. I read about people using it before but was hesitant. Thanks for the info you were not kidding about no streaking and easy,easy!

Here's a pic of my 76 Bonneville I bought new out of high school. Redid it in 2011.

Last Saturday was the Modern Classics motorcycle show at Martin Motosport in Boyertown Pa

Here's a video looking over the cycles from the second floor

They also had master artist Makoto Endo painting an early Indian motorcycle on canvas.

Amazing work

That is a great looking Bonnie mortten! Here is my 67 Bonneville. It was bought new by my godfather and parked in the early 80's. I bought it from him 10 years ago and have restored it mechanically. I even sent the gauges back to smith's in England to get factory refurbished. It runs great, one day I will get around to the cosmetics.

Still has the 39 year old seat cover on it. Cylinders were still standard.

Default I likes bikes too!

Finally delved into the deeper depths of OCC and found this sticky.

With too many hobbies and not enough sheds, this is one of my other time-vacuums. The black one is a VT1100C3 (Shadow AERO for those non-Hondites) and the red/black one is a VT750c2 (A.C.E. or American Classic Edition).

Found them both in the well-used lot at two different dealerships. My bro-in-law wanted to stop in to the local H-D dealership, "just to kick tires" and wound up owning the tires he kicked! I asked the salesman about the 1100 Honda and he said, "If they buy THAT bike, I'll make ya a DEAL on the Honda!" He did. It was sitting there, all neglected and was on life support (constant batter tender) and the 750, well, it was just ugly.

With the help of various cleaning agents, and a tetanus shot, I finally got them to where they would reflect sunlight. I pulled a lot of the "cool to the last owner" stuff off of it and have been slowly making them my own. I like the classic look, so the 1100 is my touring bike, and the 750 is a blast around town. I'd love to have an old H-D, but the greenbacks, haven't come back yet. Plus, I like the Honda reliability.

The 750 is next in line to get a paint job. I swapped out the fenders for a more vintage look. the rear is a repro from a '40-'41 H-D and the front fender is an aftermarket version that blends the look of the old springer style front fender and the mounts for this bike. Hope to have it painted soon.

Here's the before pix.

A.C.E.


And now:

Took the ZR1100 out of "mothballs" yesterday. It started right up and ran even better with fresh gas.

Now if they'd only filled the potholes

Sweet, I love it when they fire right up! I opened my shed and saw my bikes for the first time in 3 months today....does that count?

And don't get me started about the potholes!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
