Did you see the picture of my bike I made?

No. Can you repost? BTW, I've owned 46 or 47 motorcycles (can't remember for sure) Right now, I have a 1500 Goldwing.

 

[Jesse]

That is almost like I wore my hair during most of the late 60's and early 70's....... sometimes three or four inches longer.

I am sure I speak for everyone else, go dig up one of those pics of yourself and post it!

 

[reba]

Thanks

Holy Cow, that's a lot of motorcycles! Do you take long road trips on your Goldwing? Have you ever been to Sturgis?

Hey, there you go! That's a bit bigger than my homemade motorcycle. haha

Very nice bike, Willie! Now you need a side cart for your puppy.

Until I can find one and scan it, this will have to do.

Sharp bike. Very much like I built.

Don't take long trips much. Been to Milwaukee and to Nashville. But, other than that, Sanford is about the longest trip (Maybe 120 miles)

Are you building a deck?

 

[Willie T]

Are you building a deck?

Yep, on the front of the house.. I tore that one out a few years back, and replaced it with a tile porch. Two weeks ago, I finished a brick patio out back. Big sucker. 1,800 bricks.

Whoa! That must have taken you awhile to lay.

What's your next project?

 

[Willie T]

Yeah, RIGHT !
I've got to recover my airplane, and tear the Goldwing down to clean the carbs. That's enough to look forward to. I might get SOME of that done before my 70th birthday.

 

[Willie T]

The patio only took about a week to lay. But the prep work took forever.

You have an airplane?

You have an airplane?

he is the one where I got the link I have sent to some here on abandoned airfields.

 

[Willie T]

You have an airplane?

Just a little thing I built.

 

[Jesse]

Just a little thing I built.

Well, how "little" is it?

Can you fly it?

 

[Willie T]

Well, how "little" is it?

Can you fly it?

16 feet long, 26 ft wingspan, 40 HP, 13,000 ceiling, very low and slow at only about 65 mph cruise.

Yes, I fly it. But just me... it's single place. It's set up for land use right now, but I also have floats for it.

Dude, you've been holding out on us! That is so cool! Make sure you send along a picture of that, too, when you get a chance.

I live in airplane metropolis and might work for Boeing one day as an Engineer, who knows.
