I applaud you for staying in the game. I am there in spirit and as said, for easy stuff, in body as well...
Ride on.
Awesome! 84 that’s amazing.
I’m a young 68. Have had multiple surgeries over the past few years. Am fused at multiple levels. I now know that I shouldn’t have been so crazy on motorcycles in my younger days. Arthritis in my hands and bad eyesight make it difficult but not impossible for me to work on my toys.
Rebuilding engines was commonplace for me just a few years ago, now it’s a major project.
I actually turned the key on this one yesterday. It started right up. I did all the carb and exhaust mods so was quite pleased when it started and idled. Still finishing the exhaust mounting but should actually ride it today.
