So I hear,
I'm about an hour from Toronto, Ontario.
(btw there have been blood drives and everything else up here, they figure ~100
Canadians were in the towers, so you are not alone in any of this.)
I limit the cars to not have a junkyard, but aside from the Pontiac I have a
'77 280 Z Datsun and the obligatory Ford pickup. The Datsun might be another
possibility for running but right now it is stock, mostly original.
The bikes; I am a Ducati nut; from 250/350 singles to bevel twins and recently
a 'hurt' '99 ST4 that I am repairing with 916 parts. I have an Aermacchi that
I ran in vintage (got to ride Daytona) and a number in parts right back to a
'37 Indian Scout Junior.
On the bizarre side; I'm a fan of the 215 Buick V8s and I have plans for a bike
using one. Another might be destined for the Datsun. That's an example of a
motor that was in production in '61 but there was design and early work well
back in the 50s. Anybody have any of those in XO class?
Other lists; Ducati and a motorcycle chassis design list, so I know how
valuable these can be.
Maybe I should just buy this to run ;-)
