Huck-It's-Cold Event??

[hammonr]

Just to clarify Scott's original question ...replacing the VW is very difficult...I struggled with the decision for a while ...I see it as a one of a kind combination of a very light airframe and the perfect choice for power...no model I have ever flown had the performance that the VW Carden has ...A tribute to the builder that sets the standard in Canada!...but I really like having options when it is too windy to fly!!!

Go Jays Go!

Rick...that bike is awesome!

I've wanted to build a cafe racer for the last ten years or so. Always looking for an old basket case British bike...BSA, Triumph, Norton, etc...just haven't found the right one yet!

Don't wait too long Cory, the prices are on the rise.

I have had 2 Norton. One was all original. 1972 NORTON 750 Commando. The other one I found in milk crates. Built the engine and tranny. Chassis was missing parts. No fenders and no forks. So mounted the engine in a 60's Triumph rigid frame with a springer solo seat. And put a 50's Harley Springer front end on it with 20 inch ape hangars.
Back in high school I built a custom 1943 Harley 45 flat head. Rigid frame, foot clutch and a jockey shift.

If i can find one of my old grad pics with the 43. I will scan and post it.
