Looks good, Mike and that's an interesting process! Seeing you use the rip-saw took me back to 1960, when I was working in a builder's yard. One of our chippie outworkers was cutting up some timber on our large industrial one; instead of using the push-rod he was talking, not concentrating and fed his right hand into the blade. Chopped off the top part of his fingers and the tip of his thumb. Oops!! One of the other blokes rushed him to the hospital. Meanwhile, guess which young lad got the job of putting the guards onto the machine and clean up the mess...
Hi Mike, I liked your list of bikes from the seventies. I have now a Laverda 750 SF , Laverda 250 Chott, Moto Guzzi LeMans 1000. I also have a BSA A65 that was on my bucketlist from the seventies + some more japanese things. Now looking for a Benelli and Ducati. Nice to see the woodwork engraving :-)
Hi Mike, I’m here in Texas. I have a 1992 Guzzi Lemans 1000 like yours but mine is Black.Unfortunately for my 6 ft 4 inch frame, the Corbin seat on it doesn’t work for me. My knees touch the heads. Previous owner was maybe 5’6. Can you measure the height of your Lemans seat for me please? How tall are you? This seat is a bummer for me as it is the Lady Gunfighter with 2 buckets and its really low,doesn’t allow me to skooch backwards. Thanks, I have to either fix this seat or find a stock seat. Your seat looks stock and comfortable from seeing you ride it
I'm around 6ft 2 and don't have any problems with my knees hitting the rocker covers. My seat height is roughly 4.5" from the base edge to the lowest point.
