Re: 1962 BSA DBD34 Gold Star restoration (SHE'S ALIVE!!!!.) Such a tease!

Way to go!!!

Re: 1962 BSA DBD34 Gold Star restoration (SHE'S ALIVE!!!!.) Congratulations, Swan! As of late, the word epic has been hijacked by a bunch of beardless twits, but I can think of nothing that describes this build, your attention to detail and documentation better. I've followed it since page 22...

Mine were gummed up so bad, that I broke them trying to take them apart to soak and clean. Fortunately, found another set.

Now we're talkin'! I got one of those. It was my son-in-law's and had been sitting a long time. Started a cafe-esque project, but got distracted by a couple of other bikes. Rusty, leaky tank and varnish-filled carbs... all-in-all, the usual stuff. I think I'll go back to it this spring. Keep...

Re: My Precious - CM400C Cafe(ish) - first build Man, this is going to look great with that distressed leather! I'm getting inspired to restart my Seca II cafe build this spring.

Every time I see one of those, I think of Roger Moore in The Saint.

I am impressed and envious. I've got horrible woodworking skills, so this past year I've modded my Tele and built an electric cigar box guitar. Wish I could do what you've done, but will look forward to soon assembling a Partscaster. Nice work!

Different from the norm, but nice. I like that a lot.

I think my Rockhard looks a little, very little, "mushroomy," but my friends say it looks great. Found mine at the Chaparral Motorsports parking lot sale in San Bernarghetto, California a couple of weeks ago. They're usually about a hundred bucks, but these were marked at $69, and they charged...

I almost bought an El Fuente, but found a deal on a Rockhard American Classic. Biltwell has a great reputation, but all in all, I think I lucked out.

Fantastic!!! I owned a BRG '68 MGB for 12 years. It hadn't run in 16 years and I was able to buy it for $1.00. Yes... ONE DOLLAR! It had a cracked cylinder head and a lot of problems from sitting. I found a '73 MGB GT that looked just like yours but had been totaled from a rear end collision. I...

Good! Keep those pictures coming.

Ah... you never forget your first! Bike, not post. Who remembers their first post? Welcome! I like the charcoal paint, but here's your first bit of unsolicited advice: since you're doing rattle can, get some SprayMax 2k clear coat to cover the paint or else any spilled fuel will strip it right off.

Agree.

I live in a haven for Jeeps, and, in fact, own an XJ. I was wheelin' in Anza Borego a couple of years ago and someone with us had a Libby. That little rascal would go anywhere the rest of us could. I was quite impressed. Yours looks great, BTW. Is that the Sedona area?

Thanks.

Was that artwork done with a Sharpie? I've heard of others using them.

I could use a visor like that.
