      You may have made a short day into a long day but i got to watch you rebuild that motor basically and i learned things i needed to know. So the day was not wasted lol. Thank you for the knowledge. Every time i see you i learn something i needed to know. And i love that about you.

      Imm 45 and that's been happening to me for years. I've gone a couple years with a memory of something rolling around in my head before I stop to think about it and I realize that couldn't have been a real life memory, maybe a dream I had when I was younger or something I day dreamed about years ago. There's at least a couple memories I've had for years that I've been trying to verify but can't. Kind of a weird feeling.

    My parents owned the Copper Kettle Steak House in Maggie in the 60s and 70s. Behing the restaurant was Johnathan Creek. We used to dam up the creek with rocks, snd that made us a place to swim
    Our house was the last house at the top of Wild Acres. My dad built the house. The road behind our house was a old dirt logging road. Yhere are houses thete now. About a mile or so back on that road there were sbout 6 or 6 huge boulders. In the trees around the rocks vines in yhe trees went sll the way to the ground
    They eere growing up out of the ground. There were some trees that fell snd were leaning agsindt the rocks. That is how er got on top of the huge rocks. We cut one of the vines snd tied s rope to it . We would swing the vine to the petson on the rock. We would swing off that rock for hours. When you seung out and didn't make it back to the rock you had to slide down tje vine to the ground. I have so msny memories like that growing up in Msggie.

      Have another one for you, but it's way longer.
      This takes place in a old western town like Dodge City but it's called Dog City. So one day the Cats rode into town on their horses and there was a big gun fight with the dogs. Dust settled and the cats rode off in the sunset.
      In a first aide shack there was a dog getting his left paw all bandaged up. He stepped outside on the boardwalk and he was all dusty and his left paw all bandaged up. He looked across the street and saw the saloon. So he walked over to the saloon and swung open the double half doors and saw the bartender standing behind the bar. The bartender looked at the dog and seen he was all dirty and his left paw was all bandaged up. The dog walked up to the bar and put his left bandaged paw up on the bar. And the bartender looked down at the dog and said can I help you? The dog tilted up the rim of his cowboy hat with his right paw and looked at the bartender and said. Yah, I'm looking for the guy , Who Shot My PAW!

    I grew up with my best friend living around the corner from me. Hos dad rode a stripped down 1945 knucklehead. It wasnt chopped but it wasnt what Id call a bobber. He got frustrated with it after a couple decades and many rides ruined from side of the road break downs. He sold it for 12k. Last we heard it went to illinois about 13 years ago. Havent heard from it since.
    The memories of his dad turning on to our street while we were sitting outside on our bicycles. Hed be a couple blocks awayhed roll around the corner, the engine would decelerate amd he'd downshift, engine accelerates, up shift, engine speeds up and settles to a steady rpm, whenn he was by the house pish the clutch in, down shift let clutch out, pulling the engine rpm down, put put put, put clutch ingive her some revs let clutch back out accelerate while turning into the driveway amd into the garage, tap the shifter back into neutral and a couple revs, clut the ignition off.
    Man that was heaven on earth listening to that. Was then amd is now was of the greatest things ive eber heard and makes my heart smack my chest everytime I think about it. It has had me on a lifetime chase to make sure that sound and feeling is at my disposal whenever I wamt. Ive never aquired a knucklehead but, ive had many damn good feelong bikes. It been a good life !

    • @wheelsthroughtime
      @wheelsthroughtime  10 часов назад +1

      When the weights on the stand, it’s firmly locked in place. Specifically helps on a hill by keeping the bike from rolling off the stand. You can also push the bike forward or backward without calling off the stand, or use the stand as a pivot.

    Stopping and starting a project sucks. It's so easy to misplace or "misremember" things. I got grumpy and didn't look at my Riviera for months, because I snapped an exhaust bolt and had to handle that, before installing the headers. I finally went back to it and it was already drilled and helicoiled. I DO NOT remember doing that. I don't even remember buying the helicoil pack, but there it sits, on my shelf.
