Every bike I own (have owned?!) has been modified to some extent. I feel a deep need to make them "personal" and making changes to them accomplishes that for me. Some are quite moderate and others more radical, but I've always been pleased with the ultimate outcome, and that makes it all...

Electric start.... ;)

Great bikes! You'll love it! 8) 1999? 2000? :)

Wonderful news BC!! As has already been said, keep on punchin' mate! :D

Yup, works for me too! ;D Maybe we should have a 'Wing of the Month Competition for February?! :o Gotta be enough of them here! :)

If ya want it bad enough and you can afford it... do it. 8)

Those were the glory days! ;D Wicked!

Re: DO THE TON / DIME CITY CYCLES BIKE OF THE MONTH - NOVEMBER 2017 NOMINATIONS Great nominations s far!! 8)

As mentioned at the beginning of this thread, my desire is to eventually re-power the hull with a much newer Merc 250XS, maybe a 2010 to 2012 version. Something like one of these!? Of course, if I 'strike the mother-lode' a 300 OptiMax XS would be the ultimate! ;D In the meantime...

Well, not much done on the restoration yet. :P Still pluggin' away trying to sell a couple of bikes for descent money before the snow starts to fly. Not the easiest thing to do, but with a little patience... :D I started to get at some of the simplest work. The vinyl needs to be removed...

Nice! 8) I still hafta get into the Checkmate to see where it's at. I'd LOVE to get the same news. ;D I'm not holding my breath though. Older boats generally have lots of wood below the floor. The majority of the time there's at least some rot down there. :P The joys of owning old boats...
