The good thing about that whole situation, is i am his nephew, and I am the only relative to him that has any interest in cars and stuff like that. Some time thisnext summer I am going to take a bunch of pics of all the neat stuff he has kicking around.

You guys are amazing at getting side tracked. It makes for an interesting read. As for hobbies, Beekeeping, bluegrass/classical musician, smallscale biodiesel producer, general Mr. fix-it(something is always broken). Always looking for a new way to modify my PSD. (unfortunately, my wife and wallet have other ideas)
Oh yeah, I got a 1981 Suzuki GS650L last summer and finally started riding. Only got one ride in this summer though. Broke my neck in spring and was off the bike until October.

Well......... I was offloading my (pedal) bike off the back of my truck and, well, I, um, didn't carry it off. I decided to relive my teens and ride it off. Didn't work. Bike dropped, I tried to roll, but didn't get far enough. Landed on the back of my head with my body still vertical and smasked 2 vertibre. Sheared off the disc between, and banged up a few more things. 2 weeks later, I had the disc removed, the 2 vertibre fused with a shim of bone out of my hip and a plate in front and a pin in the back.
Not my brightest moment. Spent 6 months off work and I'm still on light duties as I'm not cleared for regular duties by the sugeon yet. Luckily, I only have a little numbness in my right thumb. Not bad for having broken my neck, I'd say.
That's about it.

Fomoko1 and 66gpw I feel like a bit of an a$$. I was just going through this thread reading the posts and somehow I missed your your questions/responses to my posts.
Fomoko1, I kinda got lucky with the Goldwing, the bike was road worthy when I bought it, just didn't run right and the guy was a bit deperate to sell so I only paid a $1000.00 for it. The parts for the carbs and brakes I got off of ebay so only paid about a 1/4 of what the dealers charge. So far the bike has only cost me about $1500.00 and a lot of time.
66gpw thanks for the info on the 101 I will go to the web site and check out the pic's if that dosen't work I will shoot you an email. Also, thanks for the pics of the trucks, they don't look to bad, may have to take a trip.
