I must say, I followed your resto from start to finish, and must congratulate you on a job well done. You show great attention to detail and incredible persistance at getting a job done the right way. The bike looks great. And it's well displayed with all the Coke paraphenalia and gas pumps and things.
I must admit I get a little bit of a giggle from the "rider", though! A nice clean shaven lad like that dressed up like a hooligan! I've got a nice vintage "Honda" windbreaker he'd look right smart in.

I appreciate your kind words and especially the comment on the article about the front suspension. I agree about the dude standing on the bike and you've got me rethinking the whole deal now. Wondering if he would look better in a v-neck sweater Ha! Ha!piecutter wrote:I must say, I followed your resto from start to finish, and must congratulate you on a job well done.

Actually a few feet away from that guy there's a bid of a Harley display that I've done and there's a gal all dressed up by it in leathers by the display so I didn't want the dude by the Dream to look like a wimp. There's a reason for everything. Thanks

Well the Harley items I've restored started out only as a joke. I pull a trailer behind my GoldWing and all the local Harley owners are always asking me why I pull a trailer expecting me to say something negative about there rides so I just reply " I pull a trailer because someone has to pick up all the Harley parts on the side of the road" Well for some fun I decided to restore the Items shown in the above picture in the Harley theme and I just tell everyone I did it with all the parts I picked up.
All the Harley riders really like the stuff and although the Honda product will be my choice for a ride I really do like the Harley. I guess it don't matter what you ride as long as you ride.
As for a Cafe, Well there's a bit of that in the collection as well. Oh by the way, anyone that's a member of this site is more than welcome to drop by for a visit and a free tour. Two years ago a guy dropped by on his Wing from Upstate New York and he comes back every year now for a ride and a visit.
I hope folks don't mind me posting none related Dream stuff on here. If it's a problem I'll delete the images. Just thought it might make it all more interesting seeing the Cafe subject popped up!

Oh and I like Harleys too, I would love to have one some day. But only after I get a CB77!

Piecutter consider it done but the waitress wouldn't be my first choice. I'd go after the gal by the juke box. She looks a bit upset but I think she'll come around. Now there's another gal here but she's a real talker. As a matter of fact I can never get her off the phone! Oh the phone bills!piecutter wrote:I love it. Fire up the grill and warm up that waitress, I'll be up this summer!
Please don't mention the superman suit. It's to cold up here flying around this time of the year!
