Re: My Facetruck thread.
There's been a study conducted on the effects of alcohol as a means for dealing with life's struggles on a day to day basis by leading researchers in their field. Nine out of ten have taken up daily drinking. Results could take decades. Problem is not as big as originally thought.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Well "Blue" isn't the best looking but I drove it home. Besides square tires it felt awesome!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Thanks guys, I have a lot of tinkering to do. I just ordered some 16" wheel vintiques for it. I forgot how good it sounds....

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Yesterday was people watching day. I set up to sell Harley parts at a big indoor swap meet. They come out of the woodwork for this one, being dead of winter. But they forgot their wallets! I figured this was the time of year people find those pesky few hundred dollar crispies they forgot about last year.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I traded my last bike for a Corvette 17 years ago. I really haven't missed it much until lately, and one of my friends has one for sale and another long time friend still rides.
My wife says I want, want, want, but I don't see the problem, I thought that's what I worked my tail off for all those years.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I'm probably gonna sell mine. I tried to ride a while back but the last years worth of treatments have taken their toll. The strength and balance seem to have left....

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I’ve got my scooter on Craigslist. I didn’t ride a whole lot this last spring,summer or fall. If it don’t sell I’m going to be intentional about riding it this year. Probably throw the back pack and tent on and go see some places I ain’t been.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I've been downsizing gradually over the past 10-12 years. I like my stuff too much to do it any other way. Although I would have loved to keep hanging on to about anything and everything I have sold, I have enjoyed the whole experience.
My bike needs brake work and I haven't ridden it in 4-5 years now. Just can't make it a priority. It came to a point where I realized it's not such a new jump on go anywhere bike any more, although up yo that point that is how I road it. Funny thing is, this intersects with me wanting to perform the final touch on building it I have always wanted to do. It's got a custom built S&S motor, the transmission is blueprinted/upgraded, competition clutch, taller 1st gear, Deltron inner primary case, hi-torque starter... I mean she is built to run... but brakes are still just stock calipers chrome plated. Really incomplete and really kinda dumb. I could just do a rear master cylinder, but I want to do the whole brake upgrade I want. That requires new fork legs to run dual discs and Wilwood calipers. I am itching ton ride again. I really started missing it last summer. I'd like to start gathering the parts, starting with fork legs. During this time of not riding I have found myself wondering if it's time to stop. Something I never thought I could fathom. Kind of a quit while it's good sort of thing. I figure I'll always hang onto the bike, no matter what. I think we were meant to stay together... unlike the woman I took a honeymoon on it with 29 years ago. I think I'll probably just keep putting on the country roads till I can't hold it up.
