The cars and bikes thread!

[shameless]

thought you bike guys might be interested to see this -met with an old friend this week -he has a wonderful collection of bikes -this one took my eye -a 1942 civilian version of the military Harley -all original and ready to go also has an Indian lucky bugger

Modding bikes is much easier, cheaper and betterer than modding cars.

Went for a ride, ended up in a pub, turns out there's a classic car event there! E type, Mustang, marcos...

I've given thought to project cars in the past, but my lack of time, space, money, expertise, and/or dedication always kept me from jumping in. I have, however, changed brands of windshield washer fluid before (when I went to college, I had to get fluid with a lower freezing temp, because my stuff kept freezing over; this stuff was deep into the negatives, never once froze). That counts as modifying, right?

Don't do it. I think a cocaine habit would have been a better way to use the money that I have burned on modding cars.

I mean obviously, but I guess you're talking about the general expense.

I don't have a total, but over the years. Probably approaching an ALS 1815 Chronograph. Misspent youth and all that...

I'd argue you've had more fun than you'd have got from a wristwatch. Would you?!

You're right. No watch has given me the adrenaline rush that car G forces can.

Oh, I agree. I leave up to the pros. I prefer to buy a car that’s already good from factory or has been restored by someone who knows what they’re doing.

LS swap!

Project vehicles are awesome when there's time. I have one that's been apart for several years

From better days:

Finally throwing in the towel on this project. No more time or money to burn tinkering with all the little stuff that makes it liveable as a daily driver.
