    "I know Christmas is past..."

    ... but this is still the season for giving.
    Anybody have a spare turn signal that they can donate to Renegade?

      I dunno, I kinda like that huge bulbous lamp....

        "So do I..."

        ...kind of "Road Warrior"-ish.
        Of course, the real test is.....
        Did he plan to build it that way as an expression of artistic freedom?
        Or... was he just missing a turn signal?

          I thought he decided to only take right turns and didn't NEED that left one.

            Prom: thanks for pointing out the monsters short comings
            It's a work in progress, winter is for working on your ride

            Should have the lower triple tree turn signal brackets in from 'Sindey, AUST' soon, and the other driving lamp installed shortly after

            I'll pass on the turn signal, BUT IF ANYONE HAS A SPARE GARAGE THEY'LL DONATE maybe I'll come and get it

            Just need to find a trailer

              Almost done...

              Well, the Pathfinder is almost complete. Much more power now and clutch starts slipping around 5 grand. Garage is somewhat neater now except for the workbench which kinda always is cluttered as there is always something going on there.



              And with about 50 miles, some real hard miles, and NO LEAKS!! Hope it stays that way.

              As always with these extensive teardowns, more lessons learned. Too bad there aren't lots of these things local, I could apply some of those hard learned lessons for $$$$$$.

                Its lookin good. If you thought your garage was messy, you aint seen nuthin yet. Try packin 6 bikes, tools, welder, portable generator, frig, and everything else you would need into a garage half that size. I won't even talk about lawn equipment. Thankfully my garage got cleaned out a bit. (no not the bikes)

                BTW: I too am heavily into RC planes. My work in progress is a 63in TopFlite P-47, OS-120 4stroke w/pump pneumatic retracts and all the works.

                  RC planes

                  I'm getting out of the RC plane thing. I've got lots and lots of RC goodies if anyone is interested. Everything a man might need or want in his pursuit of flight, from .o49 size to Giant scale, engines, radios, servo's, tools and special equipment all priced to make more room in my garage for more motorcycle stuff.
