He comes around touring now and then. Fred Eaglesmith and the Flathead noodlers, Fred and the Flying squirrels.. it changes. But always a pretty good show.

Incidentally, that is not a diesel; it is a 1 1/2 hp Stover gasoline engine; one of my parts engines. I have been collecting and restoring these old flywheelers for longer than I care to think about. I have 2 engines that are over 100 years old; one, a 3 hp Gray Marine inboard, 2-stroke runs on straight gasoline, NOT mixed gas,(lets see if some of you mechs can figure that one out!)built in 1902, and a 1910 Fairbanks Morse type N; HUGE! Shipping weight from factory, not including fuel tank, cooling tank, or skids, was 2200 lbs. Plus a multitude of others up to 1948 (my newest) including a 1926 Briggs and Stratton.
Anyway, got off topic off topic here; there have been years where biking is over by 3rd week of September, and not back until mid-May. So all in all no complaints (well, not too many,anyway) about the weather. Just means time to cover them and move on to other projects/hobbies like old engines, tractors, guns, yada-yada.

Guy named Fred Eaglesmith wrote a song about a guy who collected old cast single piston engines. Can't remember the name. He's a musician from up north there. I found this one looking for the other. Seemed appropriate.
Indian Motorcycles
Indian motorcycles
Saturday night citations
Northern boys in southern cars
And one pump stations
Starter pistols 'neath the quarter moon
The sound of engines revvin'
I was born in the spring time of the '57 Chevy
Oil cans in the creek bed
Radiators steamin'
Falling stars and broken hearts
Lookin' for the high beams
Busted belts and slippin' clutches
V-8s on the levee
I was born in the spring time of the '57 Chevy
Well I don't know why I come back here
Just somethin' to do with a couple of years
I had me a purty girl back then
I always thought I'd see her again
Moonlight over water
Shadows on the porches
Slippin' down the alley way
Idlin' the motors
Rock-n-Roll underneath the streetlight
Fire comin' off the fenders
I was born in the spring time on the '57 Chevy
Well I don't know why I come back here
Just somethin' to do with a couple of years
I had me a purty girl back then
I always thought I'd see her again
Indian motorcycles
Saturday night citations
Northern boys in southern cars
And one pump stations.

- October 12, 2012, 08:44:07 AM Well, it got down to 28 here over night....probably 99% of the leaves have fallen off my huge ash tree in the back yard. The gas company FINALLY came and installed the gas line to the house and the meter, and actually put it where I wanted it...A week from Tuesday, the HVAC people are going to install my new 95% efficient gas furnace. All this just in time for the onset of winter. What's this got to do with motorcycles? Nothing, but since were on a thread about cold weather...damn, I hate winter...I can't stand being stuck inside...I do have one consolation, though. Wednesday, I was out running errands for the wife, and turned over 10,000 miles on the Drifter for this year..

- October 11, 2012, 21:38:05 PMsoooo sad 
that winter is coming. This has been a great summer and fall being first time riding. It is close to pack her in but I kind of like the rush from the cold weather. I was riding tonight, around 32F ( I think thats around 1C ??, my canadian brothers weather temps sounds soooo cold ) but I feel so alert and when I am home feel energized. Weird.
