Thanks and while we don't have it that bad for gas prices they are working on getting them up there!!
That truck was actually bought by an Italian, who keeps it in Long Beach, CA. to drive when he is in the states.
 
Got some more time with the bike. Custom wheel spacers: they are invisible, un-enjoyable pieces that make a big difference if perfect. Mounted the headlight, taillight, oil tank, cattery box and coil. Also mounted the rear fender an rack. It should be ready to disassemble late next week.

mamamia it's a poor italian. My grand-mother is italian too , but i 've no money to buy and go in us every year :( .
my wife and me go in USA for the honeymoon three weeks fantastic California Nevada Utah Arizona i never forget this travel , it was in 1997.
I' love your bike , i must wait for mine in september for the beginning of the work's frame.
 
Lucho, I hope you spent a lot of time outside. Those are some of my favorite States for outdoor events.
I am sure the bike will be great, you seem to have a strong artistic side just by looking at the shot you took of your bike by the fountain.
Drewpy, Thanks for the encouragement. I am running a little late on it but it will be done early August..
 
Volcum, I don't. Know how I missed your message. The fork o. My bike now is the one I used to copy mine. If you llok at the pictures of the handlebars you will see it used to be chrome and green. The one I made was raw steel. The one on my bike was made with tubing, the one I made was out rod. The one on my bike now is much lighter and the new one will help with stability on the HD.
That headlight started this entire project...thatks.
 
Broke my wrist tonight...Comminuted fracture involving articular surface. That means I broke two bones where the wrist bends. This should slow things down a bit.

...and no more looking at mens mags too :laugh:

sorry to hear your predicament, give you more thinking time :D
 
That is funny Drewpy!!! Went to a specialist today, my wrist is broken into 11 pieces!!! two plates, multiple screws and they don't recommend surgery until all the road rash is healed to limit the possibility of infection. Going tomorrow for a second opinion with Nicholas Rose - The "Hand Doctor of the NBA"!! Bet I see an assistant hahahaha
 
Lou is going to keep going on my bike since my hand is messed up. To that end, he started the exhaust. Still need to make the mounts, tabs and bell the ends. Also need to work motor mounts and front brake mount. Not worried anymore with the schedule since I can't ride for probably four months.

No back burner, just going to go slower as Lou has a day job building scooters. I will have surgery on Monday, so hopefully I will be back at it limited in a week or so.
 
Yeah, it's pretty sore. I am looking forward to Mondays surgery. I am hoping for no long term reminders of this break so no xrays of my fall will be included.
 
Since I am on the sidelines, I have time to take stuff to friends.
Check these out!!!
