First of all, thanks for the encouragement Cal! Yes this virus has taken it's toll on everyone. My best wishes to all, please stay healthy and safe. I am in the center of all the carnage in NYC, but have been fortunate enough not to have gotten the virus, nor have lost anyone because of it. What I have lost is my shop of over 25 years. I will probably be out of here by mid May. I'm pretty upset about it, but am embarrassed because of what people are going through. I have been very lucky to have this space for as long as I did. Lots of great gatherings, and built a few machines here. I don't really have another shop to go to, but my neighbors will allow me to use their garage. Not enough space, but I'll figure it out. Enough of that. I am trying to put together as many parts as I can so I will have less boxes to move, so here is one of the bikes I put together in a record two days. Still needs a bunch of work but is mocking up nicely. DM frame, single or twin shock. I went single. Replica bodywork by our buddy Paul in Canada. nice old dymags, the rear given to me by the late, great Pantah Good, Bill Swenson, The pipe from Franco Romanelli, forks from my old F1, The motor also came from Paul, with 900ss cams. Last, but not least, Carlos beautiful, adjustable, rear sets. These are the newest ones he's made and they are incredible, with much more adjustment. So nice! Thanks Carlo. Lou

Well, this booted you into action Lou! Way ahead of me now. Is the Moretti a roller yet?
Had recently heard thru the grapevine that you were being forced to move, and it annoyed me a bit. But I know you will gather it up again. If you need more room you could ship a real TT to me and I will shove it somewhere into my half of our garage.

Nice Velocette (?) Clay Keep the pictures coming
Lou, glad to hear you are ok. From here your govenor seems to be doing a good job looking out for citizens rather than grandstanding. Sorry to hear you are being forced to move. A new adventure !
Mike, one of Lou’s TT’s in half a garage ? Don’t you have a lounge room?
Take care all
Graeme

That is impressive Lou! Having just moved a garage I know how much easier it is to roll motorcycles than carry boxes! I had mostly boxes though, only one bike with just the front wheel fitted... I join in Mikes offer to help out, I can easily house one of your bikes for some time! We lost one TT1 in the auction last year, so it is off balance here! /Björn

Sorry to hear that Lou. Hope you stay well over there. Have to put your bikes in your house so you can look at them all the time. My wife lets me keep one in the kitchen at home.

Cal wrote: Did a solo health day ride......SoCal/LA is a love hate thing. But, in 4 hours which includes a half hour of rest/beak time you can go from 85 degrees in LA to the snow line in the mountains and back. Its amazing out in the boonies you would never know the world is in a hurt......only one near incident....a hub cap came flying down the road but it luckily hit the truck in front of me Some scenery..... on that road you have to sew the sliders on the ears!
