Nice Kashan Green '41 Indian over there. I can't tell but is that a four cylinder?
-
You have your hands full! at least it is mostly all there, it will be lovely when done.
If you run out of time you can swap the red one I am selling, no one will know. :grin:

It's a '40 four cylinder. The owner bought a factory, period correct sidecar to hang on it. I've put it together already and driven it. Now I've disassembled it to have the mounts that I made powder coated and the sidecar body and fender restored and painted to match. It'll be a she stopper when it's finished.

My hands are full, like I said I am a bit behind schedule.

Sometimes auto correct gets it right even when it's wrong!

:bow: :bow: wow do you work fast! it looks fantastic.
I have finally got back to finishing of the last of the work to get my 750 S3 done, got all the lights, horn, starter, etc... working, needed to add a ground to the rear signal lights, came back home after a couple days on the road for business and the battery is stone dead, damn! got a short somewhere, and every bit of the wiring is brand new except for the 40 year old switches and the original coils, where to start? Did I mention how much I hate, I mean really hate electrical!
Joe if you were closer I would ship the S3 to you to sort out where that damn smoke leaks out.

You could fly me in?

Hmmm ... now that may be one heck of an idea, tune my Sport and get the S3 sorted. It's damn cold here though, spring time, ride the rockies after?

It snows in New Jersey :tongue:
I want to end up in a place where it never snows hardly ever snows, but no nasty bugs or poisonous snakes, or man eating reptiles, near to an ocean but without the hurricanes or tidal waves to contend with, the natives are friendly and I don't need to hide behind a gated and guarded fortress with the locals calling for death to the infidel! :violent1:
If such a place exists please let me know, I will pack up my bikes and tools and plan my escape.

New Zealand!!!

New Zealand!!!
You certainly have some of the best scenery in the world, it's a damn far ways away though but new Zealand sure checks a lot of boxes for me, Commonwealth, English speaking, respected and stable progressive government, 1st class health care, familiar rule of law, low crime etc.... You drive on the wrong side of the road but when on 2 wheels that shouldn't be too hard to get used to.I have heard from several of your countrymen that the temperament of the Kiwi is very similar to the Canuck, we both start off most conversations apologizing for something, and neither of us appreciate being confused with our neighbours. Scots, Kiwi's and Canucks are all cut from the same cloth.

First ride today, in the 30s but dry. Just ran it up and down the street a few times then let it cool down. Then took it out on the main street and got it up to 4th. Tomorrow clear and in the 40s, I should be able to get 50 or so miles on it...

Nice Joe, there are times I wish you were the Triumph Doc

I was able to visit Joe at his shop earlier this year and had a good chance to look at some of his work. Most restorations look good in photos, you really need to look close to accurately judge the quality of work. Joe's attention to detail is great, all the correct hardware and proper finish as per OEM. His attention to detail is what makes a good restoration a GREAT one. Kudo's to Joe !!!! He should have one very happy customer.
