It has been pretty hectic here at home. The old GMC camper we worked on has done two excursions and performed flawlessly! We did break down and get a satellite set up because we are TV junkies.
I also have other interests as well. in my little shop in the basement I build custom motorcycles and have been doing so long before American Chopper hit the TV airways. I know that this is a camper forum
but many of the skills I used on the camper came in handy on this bike.
Last year I traded for an old 1976 Honda CB750 it was pretty ragged out when I got it but I went to work on it and made a few changes here and there. Went through the motor. cut and hand fabricated a new rear section for the frame. made a few custom parts such as the electrical box Suicide shift mechanism,new seat- Took and old Harley front fender re manufactured it-turned it backwards and mounted to my bike. To update the machine I added LED turn signals and hand made oil tank and many more parts..Anything mechanical is always of interest to me and I love taking trash and making treasure out of it. Right now I am customizing a 1980 Harley for a client.
Here are the before and after photos -I am also working on a matching trailer to pull behind the ole GMC camper so we can take the bike too.
