Magnificent 7

Silencer done except for pressing in rubber bushing and spacer.

the "xc " is a nice touch.

Good eyes me friend!

Gonna work on me race bike as well to get r ready for next year.

That means some transformation while moving along wif grandpa bikes.

I got to get out big dent in tin can from hitting tree! That was the trees fault for being there!

I don't see any dents. Just blingy eye candy.

I did not realize back brake lever snapped of when hauling through woods. Except me bike is red! So was my shoulder and arm.

wow, what an action shot! altho that looks like it could have been nasty

One tin can dent gone.

Now just have to polish the titanium side and golden brown it again with torch.

This is my tool I made and used on this as well.

Ouch !!! Lucky to walk away from that one

Wow, that looks like it could really hurt! I'm glad you're OK.

With all the years I rode in the woods I do not remember doing a tree quite like that. Hope your speech impediment clears up

So how many "takes" to get the shot? Glad you survived that one.

You should have stretched your arm for a nice superman. Kidding. Hope you are ok

Hi Guys,

Fantastic story and follow up. dartyppyt you should be proud of your efforts, One of my mates I ride with carted us to race days for years and replaced diffs and gearboxes in the race car.
Its a great community. Make sure you look after your family as well.

On the tree front..... we had a small tight trail for kids mini bikes and as time passed we grew out of, went back their recently with full sized bikes and came "this close" to impaling myself due to speed and suspension differences between mini's and full size bikes. I was very lucky......

Wow! these bikes are amazing! The most beautiful bikes I have ever seen! Just so classic, so shiny. I'd love to work on something like this once I have more experience working on bikes lol. Maybe one day ill find a nice project to tackle

Zante, thank you for the compliments.

Always set your sights on your dreams......... and accomplish them.

Life is too short not tackle them.

Also, learn as much as you can.

I know it not vintage but here is the winter build.
