You meet the nicest....

Handy Hack CB400A

Last week Him and me rode the bike down to a goon's house to check out progress on a project that has been long in the undertaking, full of conversation and discussion and enlightenement. You see this Handicapped Hack was found out in the elements by "Curvy" pretty much abandoned and began the restoration on this fun machine. The intention all along was to complete the restoration and donate it to a worthy disabled vet who still likes to ride. Members from the ADV rider forum have donated labor and parts. Upon completion all contributors will have their names listed on the side car. For more information ADV Rider Forum.
The bike is a 1978 Honda CB400A (Automatic) which makes it much easier to control.  There is a diamond plate ramp that lowers and raises with a hand crank.  So far we have seen it ridden up and down the street chariot style with non-disabled riders. All controls are hand operated and tied back to the motorcycle.  Yup there is even a radio installed.  Pretty cool huh!

Ride About to Twin Peaks

I get my own stool.

 I do like the ladies...and they do like me!

What a smile!

Sunday started out pretty warm and Him put a windshield on his bike that Ryan was no longer using on his classic CB500 Four.  I don't mind wearing the goggles but I really do like riding a bike with a windshied especially at higher speeds.  Prior to the windshield being installed the wind noise hurt my ears and not to mention causing them to flap about like mad.  With the new windshield I like going fast now and am much more comfortable.  

It was my first time to go to Twin Peaks sports bar on 21st and Rock Road and the first time him had ridden his motorbike in that kind of traffic.  We both did great I might add.  Although the patio was closed but we sat out there anyway hoping not to get kicked out and the plan was that I would lay low.   Well as soon as the waitresses saw me they made me feel downright welcome with a great big warm hug.  Not sure why they call the place Twin Peaks I did not see any ski theme there at all and the girls sure were not dressed  for January skiing.  But the sure did have some good chicken and I do like chicken! 

Training wheels

This is the day it all started.  I started riding on a tank this fine Sunday afternoon while Him and me were out around Dead Man's Curve at the end of the bloomin' of the red bud trees.  

Honda 4 Wheeler

The first photo is me and Him on a Honda 4 wheeler that I tumbled out of once.  After that I made sure to stay put on the tank and the harness and belt helped.

I like trains (alot).

Just hanging out.
