I'd love to build him something cool but I was the mirror image of your boy in my teens . Think maby a 40 hp VW may be in his future .
It's all coming out of his thin little wallet now days and I think he's getting the picture I ran some little air-cooled's around when I was his age and ended up with a few 1776ers, dual carbs and stingers!

I'll pass that along! Ya, I hated to see the bike go. Our pal was talking about going south for a ride this Sunday. He'll be here peeling the top end down because he used the dough to buy aluminum heads. Should get him into the 9's for a static compression ratio. Big Brown on Monday, I'll report.
