Time to get back on my projects after taking a hiatus

[moparnut]

I havent been on here much in the past year. I thought i needed a break from the endless grind and my anal-ness of restoring my 70gc and 69 bee. The GC is all painted, just need to spend endless hours putting her all back together. If some of you remember i bought a Honda VTX1800 Retro end of last year and have been doing countless mods and customizing. I have bought all the things i could find to put on her,lol. I also have been doing some remodeling on my home, which has taken a lot of time as well. I'm ready to get back on my projects. This weekend I got a wild hair and started the trunk floor replacement on my Bee. I have to say its much easier this time around(did my GC) since i have a plasma cutter i didnt have when i did my GC. I'm back in the saddle to work on my projects all winter and see what i get done. Hopefully by spring the GC will be on the road but we will see,I have other home/ranch proijects to do to but am commited into putting a big dent in the projects this winter. I have to say this is the nicest board of people anywhere, Ive been on a board with vtx riders and it isnt nearly as friendly. Glad to be back
Here a pic of my bike after the mods

 Sharp machine. Bet it takes some time to keep her clean also. I'm running a street legal XR600 on the canyon roads around here. No Chrome to worry about. 

 Just had to ask, how does that front door in the second picture there work? Never seen anything like it.

Glad to see you back, sweet bike.

Maybe there is just a problem with the picture on the front door?

You have no idea about the cleaning ,lol. Probably why it s year old(I bought an NOS 06 bike in late o7) and only has 400 miles on it,lol. My road is 1.5 miles of gravel/dirt before hitting pavement. Whenever i take it out it take a few hours every time to clean. I wouldn't give up where i live for anything, but it does have its disadvantages. All my vehicles are a mess in short order. And i like working on stuff more than driving it, but as its starting to get cooler here now(usually over 100 in the summer) I'll be riding her more.

Am I the only one that noticed the strange vortex or worm hole by your screen door. If it goes back to the seventies can I use it to get a cheap challenger? All kidding aside; thats a nice bike.

  You keep the rifle at the front door to ward off people who say bad things about your door?      Or are you about to go get something for the cook out?

Nice bike Moparnut! My son has a Retro and really likes it.

[moparnut]

thanks guys,
I don't know what you are talking about a strange vortex
Are you sure its there? or maybe you guys are having a flashback? Acid does stay in your system for decades you know,lol

[moparnut]

LOL i didnt even notice the rifle
Its actually a daisy BB gun, I wouldn't keep my rifles laying around like that, although I can shoot right out my front door where i live,lol
The BB gun is to shoot my cows in the butt when they wont do what i want, harmless but affective.

Time to mod that Magnum, you know they have a turbocharger set-up for that and also you can get better heads and cams too!

I see the wormhole too - on the left side of the screen door.
