I’ve been working on four projects. Since all the events have been cancelled I decided to finish off a bunch of things:
1) 1966 Aermacchi Harley-Davidson Sprint 250H that was supposed to be for the Cobble Beach Concourse d’Elegance this year. The category for motorcycles is Italian bikes. The event was pushed to September 2021 so I have another year. I will have it ready for the road in a couple of weeks. I started on this bike about 15 years ago.
2) 1969 Honda Z50A K1 MiniTrail - pretty much identical to the one I did 20 years ago but this time I rebuilt the engine myself.
3) 1971 Honda Z50A K2 MiniTrail - also pretty much the same as the other K2 I did 20 years ago, except this one is special. Cindy turns 50 March of 2021. I found this March 1971 build MiniTrail in Alberta and had it crated and shipped to me. It will be a 50 year old 50cc mini bike for her 50th birthday. It’s also the 50th anniversary of Disney World (her favourite place) so I got a Disney World 1971 key chain for the bike. I am waiting on the fenders and mufflers to come back from the plating shop...probably tomorrow....then it’s done.
4) 1963 Honda Benly 150. Richard Freeman just showed up at my place one day with it in the back of his truck. Couldn’t say no. I’ve got it almost torn down now.
