Look at these photos!

I know, if I worked in a candy store I’d eat all the candy, too.  Wow, this is fun!

We’re running a series of new print ads in several magazines (I’ll show you some of the new ones in another blog or two).  One of the ads features folks in our factory, and the Boss had me grab photos of Lupe and Art a little earlier today.  I really like this one…

Maybe I shouldn’t say that, since I’m the guy who took the above photo…but shoot, folks, this is good stuff!

After a quick stop at the grocery store on my way home (beer, sun-dried-tomato battered tilapia, and more great stuff for dinner tonight), I saw that my good buddy Bill had a new toy parked out front…

Yep, that’s an early ’60s Honda CA200, a 90cc version in their “Dream” series.  They only made a few of these, and Bill just finished this restoration.  It’s magnificent.

So, you’re wondering, who’s Bill?

Well, Bill is my good buddy and neighbor, and he lives just four doors down from me.  And yes, he restores motorcycles.   I’m not kidding when I say this:  When Bill finishes a motorcycle, it looks better than it did when it left the factory.   I think I’m in a position to know, too.   See that bike above, the one just in front of Bill?  That’s a 1971 CB 750 Honda, and it’s exactly the same as the one I rode in 1971.  I had the same bike in the same color.  Mine was $1559 out the door from Sherm Cooper’s Cycle Ranch back in 1971.   Bill told me the one he’s restoring will go for about $15,000 when it’s finished!

Gotta go…the kitchen beckons, and dinner ain’t gonna cook itself! 

Later, boys and girls!
