That's a good looking cafe you've got there. I'd also like to see that "shiny tank" in the background with the ammo cans on it.

That one's not quite ready for prime time.

Well done, Bones.

We're both still "working off" that massive 10-bike deal, eh? I have yet to re-do the top end on the 250 thumper, and then there's still one more BSA 650 to build when a client comes along.

Overall, I have JUST made a few bucks on my cost for that trip, I MIGHT get to clear a grand for opening my wallet on that one.

Did you see the Ton-Up Houston guy's 70 Bonnie from that deal?

No, other than dealing with the fallout of peoples hurt feelings, I have not seen any of what has happened to the bikes (other than Jeremy's).

Yeah, Jeremey is the guy that yanked the Bonnie right off the trailer before I cleared Houston on the return trip.

I was thinking of the other Jeremy (Germ) that commissioned the Bitsa BSA Cafe Racer.

so what came of that orange OIF?

There was a Red/chrome BSA tank that's still on the shelf, a decent oil bearing BSA frame that's still out back, and nearly 2 engines worth of parts (no cylinders). Other than that, I sold 2 BSAs and 2 Bonnies on e-bay for peanuts.
