Building a “Bitchin Rides” caliber 1964.5 Mustang. Stupid money involved.

Just got it back from paint and body. Will be assembling it over the winter.

Tell Me About Your Ride

In 1972, against the vigorous objection of our parents, Mike and I got married. Since we were as poor as dirt, we lived on the Third Floor of a Triple-Decker in Boston's Jamaica Plain Neighborhood. Now, that area is very chic, but in 1972 was was considered a blighted area. We had neither a couch nor a car, but we made do with a single bed mattress on the floor covered with pillows (very "BOHO"), and took the unreliable Green-Line trolley to work. Anyway, somebody gave us $200.00 to buy either a couch or a car, and the only thing available at that inflated price was a used 68 Honda CB175. So that's what we got. I learned to actually DRIVE on it, amid the trolley tracks and cobblestones of Boston's Inner City. The tracks threw me more than once, but I just right back on and kept riding. However, 175 cc's were hardly adequate for two people, groceries, and laundry, so just a few months later, I traded up.

My favorite bike to date, after owning a number of bikes, is this 1200cc 2014 BMW GS Adventure.

(not my bike but same thing)

Just sold my BMW R1200 GS Adventure that I rode across the country—taking every dirt road I could find.

It was really the ride of a lifetime.

But, a destroyed rotator cuff and a deep vein thrombosis has me calling a halt to riding for a while.

(Gold over Black Road King) Some friends got together for a couple of beers...

Red 2-seater with a nice trunk...although "horse" power is limited

[Irenic]

No story of my own just a a recent observation.

A couple of days ago I saw a fella on his motorcycle and it was striking how happy he looked.

That’s it— he just looked so completely happy.

Don’t see that much nowadays.

Last one I owned was a Yamaha FZR-1000.

I like to go fast, corner, and stop, cannot ride a harly.

Still have my Sporty in a Dallas Cowboys paint scheme.

I always had a sweet spot for Vintage Triumphs. This is my 1967 Triumph T120 Bonneville bobber. Currently in the process of going through the top end. It's very fast and sits very low. A real nice bobber. The sound of these vintage Triumphs with neighbor hater pipes, sounds very nice.

Ford Explorer with a quarter million miles on it. Needs a replacement transmission.

Have a 1979 Yamaha XS650 Special sitting in the garage awaiting a complete overhaul. Keeping the bike company are boxes of used, NOS and brand spanking new parts ready to bring her back to her former, original beauty. Seriously...I have 4x as much $$$ in parts as the bike cost on eBay several years ago. The only thing I've done to the bike so far...swapped out original points ignition for electronic ignition, tuned up, corrected some mis-wiring, new battery, new tires and had the carbs professionally rebuilt. Runs smooth now...although it does have a very slight engine knock.

Not mine, but this is what I'm shooting for...

For my first bike at age 18 at Ole Miss in 1976 I chose worlds safest motorcycle..the 1974 Kawasaki 750 two stroke H2. She came purple of course but I remodeled her into a. White black and red cafe bike like an RD400 with any to race mod I could work....she was a blister back then....l took a ton of weight off the bike too. I still have synthetic body parts from my four years on her before I bought a GS11000RS off a drag bike outfit in Gulfport. Pictured is an actual purple H2 and a 500 triple similar to what I did. I usually ran 3-1 denco pipes but on occasion ran unplugged 3-3 hookers....man that is the loudest thing when she ran that way....you could hear it a mile away in Oxfords hills and hollows

The 850 got too much for me after my 5 weeks
