Hey everybody. Glad to see a new a new page out there. Many of you know me as Elf from JD but this page requires at least 4 letters for a username so I had to change it up. Attached is a picture of my wife and I in Island PARK this year.

A month in Island Park, a week in Roatan, Honduras, two weeks in the Smokies, and now we head to Vegas tomorrow. But after one more trip in mid-july we are mostly done for the year. Got a neck issue thats going to get fixed…Read More

The Kawasaki “Kawa-Bunga” Project:
Got the steel parts of the chassis blasted and painted. Also did a little polishing on the aluminum. Haven’t decided the level of polishing I’ll settle on but the tunnel isn’t perfect enough to go crazy. Maybe just give it a little brighter look.

Well David, good to hear from you. Was just thinking to myself, the one thing this is missing is a Heckler.

Summers are busy! It’s hard to find time for the project but I try to find some time now and then to keep it moving forward. One of the shots shows how the repairs to the back of the hood came out. Hood is ready for paint.

I figured I’d really kick this page off with a few photos to bring everyone up to speed on my current restoration project, a 1980 Kawasaki Intruder.
After I bought this last fall, I got it running and actually rode it a little last winter but as these things often go, it had a LOT of issues – missing parts, broken parts, worn parts, and ass…Read More

I look forward to retirement and the time to do stuff like this. I have an entirely disassembled Sidewinder just waiting to be brought back to life, but I just don’t have the time yet. Looking forward to seeing your progress, Kelly , and anything else that anyone has brewing out there.

Correct me if I am wrong but you were recently retired correct? how’s retired life treating you? living the dream or like most don’t know how they had the time to do things when you were working?
