    Hey, creaky, what about that '86 spare engine you have in your back pocket? A good winter resto project? ;-)

    The engine (and a couple of other motocycle projects) are on the back burner for the time being. We built a new home 4 years ago and have been in the process of finishing the basement for the last two. We have decided to make this our 1st priority until it is done, hopefully within the next two months.
