I don't have a big hangar like Gary does, or alot of big shop tools, but this is what I use to get around on and work out of

and for Mudge, it is a 2001 Honda GL1800 Goldwing, I will not ride a harley as I have enough engines that leak oil to take care of all ready.

I ride to work in style, AM/FM MP3, CB radio, intercom, cruise control, reverse , 6 cylinder 1800cc or 1.8 L, 5 speed tranny, shaft drive. keyless trunk remote.

I should add the picture was taken this morning while I was working on the C-1A. We ran both the C-1 and C-119, both are doing fine.

Very cool.

I am itching for the weather to warm up so I can ride my bike.

The only thing that Honda doesn't have is power window's :wink:

Oh ye of little info!!! I've had my 02 Harley Rod King Classic for three years (Dad had it for two year before me) and I've put 60,000 miles on if and it has YET to leak a SINGLE drop of oil.

Matt,
Done much touring lately? How about your m/c drill team?

not lately, I am doing good to keep the bills paid. I was fired last Feb for refusing to do illegal work and I have been freelancing ever since. The drill team is still going strong, I have not ridden with them since 03. It is very hard on the bikes and between that and having to buy a house and move, just did not have the time,

Mudge · **Posted:** Tue Mar 06, 2007 10:45 pm

Hate to say it but...My '95 Road Toad never leaked a drop. As for Mrs. Mudge's '88 Low Rider...that's a different story.
Don't ride anymore. Sold both bikes. Got too dangerous on the road.
(I guess when I turned 70, I became a bit more aware of my mortality.)
There's a laugh...too dangerous on the road, so I take up flying. :shock:

At least, in a plane, there's not usually some idiot on the phone doing everything they can to kill you.

Mudge the mortal :drink3:

ps. Matt...wouldn't a pick-up have done just as well? :twisted:

Mudge, I have a El Camino, kind of a wanna truck, but it is not as much fun to drive and it is alot harder on gas. The nice thing is that when I get home, I unhitch the trailer and put it in the garage and go riding.

I won't ride a Harley either.....Why would I when my bike is so much more modern and reliable.

Eric, Very nice Indian. My first bike (in '57) was a '51 Chief. Paid $235 for it.

Awesome Chief, Eric. Djano, your Sporty isn't half bad looking either. Is that your '35 or 6 in the background? heh-heh SAWZALL...heh-heh chopslamflame!!
Matt, is that an old Phillips 66 station in the background of the formation riding shot?
Eric, how about a little on the background and history of your Indian. Mr. Waltrip, the founder of Lone Star has a restored Indian Four down at the museum. I gave up riding cold turkey after two decades when my best friend died on his bike but I might rescind that if I got a chance to putter around the ramp on the Four.

Ride safe. Lone Star has an old C1. Someone should find it a new home.
