          Monday, I dont know if NY offers a motorcycle safety/training course through the DMV, but if they do I recommend it.  I knew how to ride before I got my licence but they make you do a wacky driving course when you take the driving part of the MC licence test.  If you go through teh class here in Cali, you bypass that need, and only have to take the written test.  Plus, I did learn a thing or two:)

          I love old bikes, but the maintenance kills it for me when I dont have a garage.  As of now, I have to park on teh sidewalk in Oakland and lay down a towel to wrench, and that gets annoying when every crack head in the city wants to watch me from 4 feet away.

              Not a complete bike but some progress folks like Injun will probably be in to  😉

              Starting the trans. Found some oil from the beginning of time

              Got everything apart and blasted the cases

              Had the cases polished

              Back together

              Engine time;

              Got the heads off

              Generator cover open and pulling the oil pump

              Everything laid out

              Seats done and valves lapped

              Flywheels apart since they were off 8 thousandths

              Back together to begin the truing process

              Truing done… Zero on oil side and under half a thousandth on the other. Smooth as butter

              Polished the cases to match the trans

              Going back together

              Motor and trans together before I did the pushrods and external oiler lines

                        Ugh, I dont even know. Waiting for other people holds you up (polishing and parts). Tearing down a motor and trans can done quickly, checking out a bike that has sat the better part of 20 years can't/shouldn't be done so quickly. Maybe 20 hours total.

                        Oh I know. My buddy's Super Duke was the most comfortable liter bike I've ever been on and the one in the vid looks amazing. I'm actually trying to buy a KTM of Husqvarna Super Moto after I finish this Panhead.

                            Next on the pile.  This is getting a full restoration once I get settled into my new place.

                                    It's going to go back into the original '63 swing arm frame I got with it.
                                    I already have a chopper. This bike is going to be my "old man" all original Pan.

                                    That shovel is going to be wild when its done. Get on that ASAP!

                                      Burger, I can dig that.  I'm putting some serious thought in to unloading my '09 to build a swing arm shovel, but I'm still a young man with kidneys and a back to ruin.  I'm so pumped to get my Dad's old chop back on the road, I'm just hoping I don't have to strip the molding to chase rust.

                                      Nate, it's a '76 shovelhead that my Dad and uncle built in the late '80s.
