It’s actually a 1960 series 2 Land Rover. For life? Well , until I’m too old to enjoy them I guess. Never say never. I did buy and restore the 76 firebird last year . That was probably a bit of a nostalgia move. I had one as a young fella but had to sell it when I went to college. I’ve always wanted a 67 firebird ragtop but they’re way too much money for me. I have to rein in the spending a bit. Just blew 1300 bucks on 2 barrels of avgas. And that was my third trip to the tap this summer. And I still have to cover the mustang transmission when it’s done. I only budgeted for one divorce in my life and that was 20 years ago

Man, you’ve lived and sounds like you live the life!

Easy on the money PA but not too easy, think you deserve some fun at this point. Making it past 60 in todays world and still in top health is achievement enough, just enjoy yourself.

I’m still trying to get used to living on a fixed income. Pay as an aircraft mechanic was never very good, but I worked a 4 days on 4 days off shift. I learned very early that if I wanted things it was going to take a lot of extra work. Between overtime and freelance work I rarely took the 4 days off during my entire career.

I must admit my Janus is a imposter of sorts. Not vintage. Delivered (rather picked up in person) at the factory in November 2022. Janus is made in Goshen Indiana. They specialize in lower displacement bikes,with a vintage feel…..

Damn!! That’s crazy .. I thought that I knew just about every bike that was made in the U.S. and most of the ones from Europe but that’s definitely a new one . I hadn’t looked at the engine but after you told me what it was … now you can see that the cylinder jugs are modern as well as several other parts of the bike . Googling it now .
Thanks

Just use your feet.

But I have grown rather attached to them over the years...

I’ll bet it goes like stink. Probably more then I could handle between my legs at this age.

Scrolling through Google Photos

Now we grab the BMW R1200S for an easy Sunday ride when the sun is out.
But had lots of fun on my mean green little kwakker when we were a lot younger, more reckless, more agile and in shape

I should think he will show me some go pro clips in due course but that is as far as it will go, there’s no way he would let me loose on it even if I did have the urge… and a bike licence.
