Last night, driving home from work I heard this song ana a picture of you in your Viking helmet racing around on a motoredbike flashed before my eyes.
Uno, dos, one, two, tres, quatro
Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw.
Had two big horns and a wooly jaw.
Wooly bully, wooly bully.

Hey wavy did you ever find a solution for the headlight on the Higgins? I think I have an idea.
Maybe I should change my handle to "Resurrector" for bringing back old threads. I'm trying to quit though, honest.

Looks fantastic! Remember seing that bike during the time I was building my Whizzer last spring. It turned out wonderful!!! Glad your slowing down to enjoy life, its not easy to change emotional gears. Great job.

That is one of the classiest vintage bikes I've seen in a long time. I'd love a bike as good as that one. Did you tell us the make & model somewhere else on the thread cos I've looked on the first & last page and can't see any description. Great project man!
