Continue re-building my old '79 Honda CX500 (laterally opposed V-twin, same pattern as a Guzzi). I bought her six years ago in a poor state and converted the garden shed into a workshop to completely tear her down, clean her up, renew what needed renewing and rebuild her.
Then my Mum died, then my Dad died, then my job died ..oy!!
Just got the engine back in so I am kind of half way and hoping to fire her up sometime this weekend.
Cancer got my mum. Very brutal but blessedly quick. My Dad had moved out to Oz following that and we were planning his first return visit as a father son biking holiday (he was an original Ace Cafe boy ). The bike he was going to use was this very one I am rebuilding so I would have had to get it done.
He had just bought his tickets good and early when he went out like a light in his sleep
