In case I don’t have any idea of what the shields you want look like and might have on a shield collecting dust , could you post a few pics ?

Pete . 🙂

Darren ,

If I were closer (I’m currently about 900 miles South ) , I’d see if I could help you out .

Darren ,

A Belated Happy Birthday to Jenni . 😀

I stop in every day or more to see what’s being posted . It’d be nice to see a bit more activity .
I might be in the minority , but I don’t ‘do’ Facebook . I have a couple different pages there , but those are just to see a few things of interest once in a while .

Anyway , If you are thinking about starting a project or even a partial project , why not document it’s progression here ?

I find that keeping a thread or two current with the progression of a ‘build’ or other project is a great help in keeping myself interested and motivated . Reaching the end is both a relief and a bit anticlimactic .

Pete . 🙂

I’d probably do the same , as long just the surface rubber cracked . I can’t imagine that you’ll be doing any ‘trail’ or mountain bike type riding .
I like patina .

8 bucks and actually working better than OEM , makes for a great deal .

I’m a big fan of home grown engineering . 😉

You didn’t take any chances on a side-way tipping . They look fairly heavy duty .

I knew I’d seen one before … Obviously it did have a box .

I think you might enjoy checking this site ( where that^ pic came from plus more pics ):

You are right , Darren . That thing is in very good condition . Wipe it down with WD40 and run it . 😉

Darren ,

Your wife needs training wheels ? 😉
And , that little Suzuki looks kinda familiar . I have an ’84 FA50 . 🙂

I recall seeing one , but without the side box .

That one looks to be pretty heavy duty . Maybe it’s just the rust …

Ha . They’ll likely never stop fighting , Jenni . But , they might start listening to you when they are about 40 . 😉

Oh , what I want for Christmas … hmm , how ’bout a big ole bowl of french vanilla ice cream topped with dark chocolate shavings and a couple of maraschino cherries .

Pete . 🙂

All things in moderation . That includes work .

But , I know what you mean . I’ve been there , too .

Being as you have so little time to ‘play’ , I’d stick a chain guard and tail light on it , make it safe , get it running reliably and be done with it . Ride it as much as you feel like and don’t say no to the kids when they want to ride it . Who knows , maybe it’ll help raise their interest level . 😉

My 2 cents with a 50% discount .
