You and me both, but mine sat for almost five years, I just redid everything last year, paint, jugs, new piston rings, all that, rode about 100 miles and my trans went sideways on me and it’s been sitting since, so my goal is working the next 2 weeks to get em both up and going!
Yeah man things happen…. Reminds me of a mechanic joke from back in the day. The longer it sits, the worse it gets. I have OCD so I fixate on a problem until it’s resolved. Then on to the next dilemma! Lol!
The big grandpa style bike I just traded for a truck I had sitting around and the 25’ nightwear is the wife’s, she still only has about 20 miles on it and we have had it for almost two months lol
So do I, but I just put it to the side until I know I have the time to actually address it because if I don’t I’ll be dreaming about it til it’s doneYeah man things happen….

I have 3 BigDogs and a Texas Chopper that I spend almost every spare moment working on or keeping shined & clean. It’s a great task but I enjoy doing it. All our kids are grown and out on their own. So just me/momma/ the boys (sherman& grant) and the choppers. I guess it’s the perk to being in your’60s.
Nice, vintage chopper, K9, looks like a Texas chopper, can’t tell from the pic, but nice collection. Nah, my kids are all still kids and live with me, 12,14,15, so I spend a lot of my spare time with them, but we have acres beyond acres that we play on with our out door toys, we have 5 quads, 2 dirt bikes, 2 go karts and a side by side so we spend a lot of our spare time on them.
That’s awesome! Great pics! So keep that chopper in good shape because in 7/8 years you’ll be wanting to ride it again everyday… ask me how I know..
Yeah. But in that 2years look at what has taken place to the bike… omg so much can go wrong with a motorcycle just sitting idle that long. You will literally have to go through the entire bike….
I ain’t never figured it out either…HMAN does it somehow through YouTube but I don’t know how to do that either! Lol!
Post it on Youtube n then post the link here.
I don’t wanna make a YouTube video just for this thing lol
Well I just took her for a test ride and she rode great, clutch needs adjustment and having no suspension sucks, I was rubbing frame on turns… idk how to use it and he said it works when it wants to… so idk
I mean it is nothing compared to my bike but my engine has a ton of work done to it, but it feels just like my gutless wonder did when I got it so that’s good, tells me it’s running good, had to adjust the carb a bit and that’s about it
