If we had 170 calenders similar to the calenders they have, I don't think there would be any problem selling them :D !

Pretty nice-- I'd love to have one of those! The bikes ain't bad either! However, I think that guy did a disservice to the bikes by choosing the colors he used, IMHO they'd look better in more original colors/schemes.
I've been to a couple of fly-in's at a Seattle-area airpark (where Dave Clark used to live) where there were a lot of old cars & some old bikes in attendance along with the airplanes. I was pleased to see what must have been some members of a local Indian owner's club there with several Chiefs & at least one Scout. Way cool!
Another fly-in I went to (Forks) last year had a Harley 45 on dissplay, When I looked at the engine s/n, I noticed it was off a ServiCar three-wheeler. (Remember the old meter-maid & delivery trikes?) It had the transmission (3 speed -- plus reverse!) to go along with it.

If you are a real motorcycle nut, and if you enjoy a really good belly-laugh...PM me with your email address or better yet email me...and I'll send you a copy of one of the funniest stories I've ever read about a guy who hunts down, finds, and buys/tries to operate a genuine antique. It's a shame this isn't an airplane story or I'd violate the rules and post it anyway, dang the copyright laws. :lol:
