More like a Triceretops hood than Sticky Fingers.

Thank you, I bought it from Corbin in 2005 tho don't ride as much as I did after I retired from the Army 1989 and got a Harley Sportster in trade for one of my Rolex Datejusts.
Owned a succession of Harleys and Hondas after retirement abd rode them a lot before I got this custom project motorbike from Corbin. Also briefly had a BMW K1000 flying brick as well, much better bike than the R60/5 I had in the 1970s. I ride less now it enjoy it just as much when I do. BTW, I did 3 tours on Germany 1967-69, 77-80, 886-89. Left before everything changed overnight later.

I'd like to see pix of your NSUs. I was in Grafenwohr my first tour, there was a large scrap yard where they were scrapping 28 steam locomotives and I saw a couple interesting motorbikes in the scrap pile.

A pic from Christmas. Opening my Tom Petty~MOJO LP. I then had to try to explain it to my granddaughter, Kirra. I ended up taking her upstairs and showing her how it all worked. She was quite fascinated.

Thanks you sir. She is quite the spirited, independent soul. It usually takes a couple days for the "doll" to appear. She is my daughter's only child and freshly out of a divorce last year. Mom is really having a hard time learning the differences between parent and friend at the moment, and the lack of discipline is showing.

That can be tough on a child her age, fortunately our son (well mine from the first marriage and adopted) I overheard speaking to Florence the first time they met shortly after we were married - he was seventeen - and he thanked her for making me happy.

I remember as a teen thinking my stepmother was the bane of my existence. I was quite a bit older than 17 before I was able to thank her for making some tough love decisions that made me all the better for it. I never truly realized how much she loved my father until I saw her car for him as he was dying of ALS 10 years ago.

About eight years back he started calling her Mom.

As of October, my stepmother is the only parent I have left. Father, stepfather, and mother are all passed. Never could bring myself to call her mom, but I do let her know that she is still loved and part of the family.
