^The Argosy looks like all the bumper metal got used on the front, the rear looks a little embarrassed and tried to make up for it with lighting?


My Son's bike is beginning to look like a rat rod Triumph with it's mis-matched funky paint as purchased a while back.
It's attracted a steady stream of boxes to the front porch... seat, gaskets, side cover, headlight, taillights, turn signals, electronic ignition, handlebar switches, horn, tires, you know, the usual.

At least a fair chance the starboard carb is a bit rich

Oh yeah, we had to find an engine for it.
The original 650cc motor went into a Rickman frame and still lives there- in Oregon (even though you didn't ask).

My resourceful Son found a 750cc that wedged right in.

The attention to detail is just amazing. Love the “whatever works” mentality.

Went to a party where they offered complementary valet parking. I violated my rule of “Never valet park”, because it was a rental car, I’d figured, “ why not, what could possibly go wrong?” . The time I don’t get insurance, I get the car back like this...

A black car, on a dark street I don’t see the popped front bumper skirt from the front fender. Upon closer inspection, I see this the next morning.

A little rubbing compound and touch up paint, and the rentals company won’t be any wiser.
