The latest addition to my library.


Thanks Bruce.
I just received my copies today. This is the updated, two part second edition of the book, that is sometimes referred to as the Bible of Harley-Davidson restorations. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves vintage Harley's. I'll be interested to see the price of these in a few years.

Mid West Moto Swap Fall 2014







The Moto Swap this time was held at Low Brow's shop.  Meaning everything was outside, so we were subjected to the crappy weather.  It obviously kept some people home.  But all in all, it was a good time with some good deals.  Saw plenty of things being sold, so hopefully the vendors did well.  Looking forward to the next one.  They always put on a first class swap.  Of course, after leaving, we headed straight to Cork Screw Saloon for lunch and refreshments.  The Johnny Walker Blue went a long way toward shaking off the chill from the damp, rainy weather.

2014 Pennsylvania State Fishing Tournament.



Hey throw me some candy.


The best spot to watch the parade, outside the Tidioute Hotel.










A few fish brought back for the weigh in.
Yukon Cornelius. George finally finds a suitable toilet.


Cougar Bob's. 

 Saturday was the 55th annual fishing tournament in Tidioute. Being avid fishermen, we attended. After being the pre-parade, we settled in at my favorite fishing spot on that part of the river to watch the actual parade.  What a parade, I wish I would have taken more pictures (as always). I missed some of the highlights, the 80's guy dancing, and the cross-dressing clown -- what a sight. At the weigh in booth the last time I checked, a 46.5" Musky at almost 23lbs. was leading the pack, that's a big fish. After some lunch and some more refreshments, we took a ride up Rt.666 to Cougar Bob's for some laughs, and then started working our way home. It was a picture-perfect day with beautiful roads and great scenery, although some of my favorite spots were closed, very odd on a Saturday. Oh well it was a great day with great friends.

Project garage is complete


Bikes in their new home.

Well the garage is built and the sickles are tucked in. All that is left is to build it into a proper shop. This gonna take some time i'm not Rockafeller you know. Benches and shelves to be done along with insuliation and pegboard for tools. Also have to move in the shovelhead and parts. No garden weasels or yard equipment are allowed. I'm so happy my bikes will be out of the weather. Not saying they will be any cleaner just drier.
