I do already run in the morning and work out. I currently roll at local gym with bjj so I was looking for an activity that was a little less exercise-y.
Been looking all morning into bikes I could rebuild/repair. Found that I have a love for late 40's motorcycles.
i'm working on a honda shadow right now, cleaned it for about a week before i finally got it to kick over, and when it did, it kicked out about a pound of rust, an entire intake manifold, and a fucking screwdriver.
took it around the block a few times yesterday - definitely going to be a nice ride once i'm all done. as far as body work is concerned, i need to patch the gas tank (which is in surprisingly good shape, considering) bob down the rear fender, clean everything up, clean and wrap my pipes, then decide on whether i want a spring seat vs saddle seat, and whether or not i go for ape hangers.
it's definitely going to feel good once i'm finally done with it - i get all excited just thinking about it, but at the same time, i know once i'm done i'm probably going to want to buy another scrapper to work on.
