Several years ago another one of us managed to convince a girl to be his wife, in celebration of the nuptuals a couple of his friends gave him a box full of bike parts and a very stylish old frame.
Several years later another friend became a budding bicycle mechanic, so the two of them decided to get together over several beers and re-assemble the bike.
The only thing missing was the front fork (I just so happened to have a spare), and the hardware to put the rear fender on (I was too lazy to dig out something to jury rig it).
So here it is, after a great many years. This sexy beast rides again.
I'm particularly fond of the white walls, and the gas tank. Frank absolutly refused to let me take a picture of him actually on the bike. but you can use your imagination. His daughter seemed excited about the idea that she would be able to take a ride with Daddy.

So when are we going to plan an Offmen bike trip?
I think as soon as Frank gets his Ducati runing again
I'm pretty much OK, working in my little Workshop alot, and working alot, and buisness planning.
A couple of weeks ago I took a spill on my LiteSpeed, and jammed up my knee pretty good. It only hurts to walk.
