Hello All,
I've found this forum very informative as a guest, and decided it was high time that I became a member. I'm in the hot southwest (Arizona), and am restoring a 1954 Road Rocket. I first bought the bike in 1972 as a basket case and put it together with A7 parts, A10 parts, A65 parts, maybe a few Triumph parts, and anything else I could find to keep it on the road. In spite of that, it was a very reliable machine, and earned the nickname "Old One Kick" from my biking buddies. With the end of my care-free youth (i.e. jobs, wife, and kids), it went into storage in 1978, but I could never bring myself to sell it, so a couple of years ago, I decided it was time to restore OOK, and this time do it right. It has definitely been a challenge, but thanks to ebay and the world wide web, it is slowly coming together. Along the way, I have learned a thing or two, and hope that I'll have something to contribute to others.
