Hi friends how are you! Im fine, this plandemic makes me crazy. Now i work in a old MZ RT 125 1954, with girder fork because the inverted fork original is incomplete and for buy a incomplete DKW for restoration.
In standby a Kawasaki kz 440 waiting some pieces.
A question, some pages in www is off, like mechwerks. A lot of pages is off..... people not interested in fabrication, bolt on pieces won the war? what happen? Most pages can i use for ideas sell bolton pieces and not like that
A hug!

Personally I have a collection of more less interesting automobiles and motorcycles, a Mercedes Benz 250 1972 automatic in restoration , a 1967 Chevy II soon to be revived as scrap pick up, and clearly my motorcycles, a Honda CB 450 Nighthawk modified as between wars bike is my current project Is a beautifull engine. I'm making the girder fork at this time, a bobber carried Motorrad, my vehicle abitual a Maico MD 250 awaiting restoration parts for, a Yamaha Enticer waiting for a change of 350 cc engine, a BMW R-67, 1954 waiting also a part of the starting lever. Also chassis, engines, tires, and parts to make what I can think of.

Never argue with an idiot, low to his level and beat you by experience.

Re: Hi friends! A question
yeah, looks like most folks found out that actually building stuff is hard work, so it's hard for the guys who help builders out to make a living.
I don't know if Steve is still doing stuff or not.

-experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

- SELF INTRODUCTION: Just an old Dude exploring the world while I still have time. Used to be a member here but forgot my login information so trying to re-register. Working on the placer deposits in Nevada so no roads here to ride anything on unless it;s a dirt bike and even that can be pretty hairy. Nice to see that the place is still active. The old CBH is due to go offline in November. Have to computer anymore and cell signals out here are few and far between so it's hard to maintain any type of regular contact with anybody but glad to see a lot of familiar names.
Re: Hi friends! A question
Mechwerks still posts at other boards so maybe he got a job at another shop.
As to American chopper fabrication it seems to have all gone to the big shops, at least those that managed to stay open after the TV boom in bike building went downhill. The boutique places just died out and the home builders couldn't afford to buy parts anymore.
Folks are still building somewhere as we're still selling plenty of CD's so there is activity out there but mostly overseas and up north.
Age group is also changing. Our web stats used to show most visitors were 35 to 55 now it's 25 to 35. probably be 15 to 25 in a few years.
Everything goes in cycles, fads and trends so it will all turn around.
