Paul,

You are amazing! How does a person do those icredible restorations (in record time) and still have time to run a business, household and have a family!?

Your pictorials are a delight! Many thanks for sharing them!

Museum Quality

Paul, that would definitely go in any museum I've been in. I'd love to ship you one of my projects and a blank check(if I could sneak one out). In the mean time it inspires me to try a little harder on my bikes. Thanks for sharing..........................................D

Thank you Michael. I'm very pleased you enjoyed seeing the old CT70 pics. I get so consumed in my work that time goes by and I don't even notice it. My wife and I have two sons and there in the Canadian military and on there own and I don't run the shop on the weekends so I have the evenings and weekends to do this sort of thing. I did take a break from the bike restoration a few years ago and moved on to other less interesting items like forklift customizing :) but I came back to do two more bikes. This one represents the second bike I ever owned and the next one which I'll be starting in a week is a 1970 Z50A that was like the first bike I ever owned. The Z50 will be the very last bike I will ever restore for myself. As always, thanks for your kind words and a great site. Paul

D... Thanks so much! I'm alway appreciative to hear someone enjoys my work. After all that's what it's all about. I take every pain to make sure the item I'm doing is as flwless as can be. I've had people come to my shop just to look at this stuff and they all say it's better than the photo's show them so that's nice to hear as well.

With this bike there was a very special attachment to it. I didn't post the full story here but I did on a friends local biker site. I attached the link just in case someone here might want to read the real reason I restored this little Ct70. Thanks again everyone for your kind words. Paul
