your preachin to the choir jus1975!
i have the boat bike and car affliction.and somehow i keep telling people "oh yeah i can do that no sweat" .
couple that with the fact that i think that i can do things twice as fast as i actually can.means i spend alot of time frustrated that $hit isn't happening fast enough.
you will get there tho as long as you keep doing something.

I work a full time job, a part time job (Plus being married is a full time job). I rarely get any time to bang around in my garage without waking the neighbors.

I love watching bike projects go on. Gives me motivation and inspiration.

I'm suprised it's gotten this far without the "Don't chop that up, restore it and cut up something else.", lecture.:)

i have given myself that lecture. i thought about getting another one to chop up. but i decided to use this one because im not selling it and im keeping all the original parts and anything i plan on doing can be changed back to stock.
