They still sell them, and rebuild kits. The guy I bought it from thinks he bought it in the 50s. But it has gas and lights right up, so well worth $100 to me.

Yeah, I'm not a welder by trade, but I do have a mig and tig setup. This will probably end up used mostly to heat and bend parts, and anneal material for forming.

Nice, I'm a welder/fabricator by trade. Always love seeing the old tools/machines. Don't repaint any of that stuff haha. Looking forward to seeing some of that metal work!

I'm going to attempt to make my own fenders for the norton/honda hybrid. I might buy a cheap fender as a template so I have a goal for proportions.
Even though I have been actively telling myself "no more bikes/projects" I couldn't pass this one up. I recently picked up this 2021 Coleman ctu200-ex. A kid had bought it new leftover a few years ago from Tractor Supply and rode it around a bit, before the rear axle nut loosened up and let the chain fall off. I paid $100 for the bike, and I gave Bezos $22 for the rest of what I needed to get it on the road. I had an sl70 for pit bike duty that I traded off at Mid Ohio last year, and have missed having a little bike for shenanigans.
Picked up this leather Highway 21 Murtgaugh riding jacket at a local bike shop today. The owner is a friend of mine, and doesn't deal much with appearal, though he got this in a deal from a distributor friend of his. It was his display jacket and is new old stock. Though it's not "vintage" the brass has a bit of tarnish, which I'm a fan of. You can still buy them new for $290, he gave it to me for $60. I've lost about 95 lbs over the last few years, and I was swimming in my joe rocket. Was happy to get a better fitting jacket at a great price!

What do you think of it so far? I'm currently contemplating a lightly used 2021 V7 stone 850
