I’ll be 59 in a month - thinking about how long it will be until I can chuck it all, sell 35 + yrs. of accumulated shop/woodworking/carpentry tools, house, assorted crap - and, yes, all board building stuff - find a warm, relatively uncrowded, left point break and take my 20 odd boards and surf…
Last board floating wins…
Then I’ll make art out of driftwood and soak the tourists…
Hey Josh, that's gonna look the business mate, should ride good too with the weight where you have it. Aint that CB 350 lump a peach!!
A friend of mine did something similar with a CB 550 four k motor, real low and long, rigid rear and flat bars. Beautiful.
the odd snowboard…
Hey Marco and Fat...
Its nice to have my other obsession recognised:- My wife does'nt understand. Its possibly the one thing I'm into thats for me alone. No need to sell it...
The engine is a substitute for BSA or Triumph, with the twin carbs and pipes and the vaguely similar style...The prices for the real thing got out of control. Mine is a 250, though I think it only differs from the 350 in the bore.
Interesting thread.
Josh
I still consider myself a rank amatuer board builder compared to you guys (after five years) but even though I intend to keep building them for the foreseeable I would love to build:
- a chopper
- an acoustic bass guitar
- a fishing boat
- a family sized camper van
- a house
- a sculpture that looks good to other people - not just me
- my own coffin and headstone
...I'm forty next year so hope I'll manage to squeeze them all in before the arthritis sets in...
Cheers
Rich
