How's she going

[ib6ub9]

I've been checking out the site for a while and decided I should join up..I thought I would introduce myself by showing some junk

1952 Sunshine

<BR><BR>
Cool old grips on the Sunshine

<BR><BR>
Thistle trike

<BR><BR>
A few kunkers yellow one is a bisexual Sears made in Polland

<BR><BR>
Couple of Velo Solexes one is 1967 and 1973 Scamper minibike behind them

<BR><BR>
1939 Rollfast Royal Flyer(I think) has an R right in the crank

<BR><BR>
and the one that ultimately led me to this site while seaching the net to try and find out what exactly it is. Where should/can I put a post to find out. I have more pics. I have it down to 36-42 Westfield Clipper. Oh and now that I'm here I think the Sunshine might become a ratbike

Welcome! That's some cool junk you've got there. If you do rat out the Sunshine, promise you'll keep the grips!

sweet junk!

Don't you just have to love a site where those words have a nice ring to them!!? :lol:
I really like the look of the bike in the last photo.

Yep I'm a firm believer in one man's junk is another man's treasure. My wife still calls it junk though.

So the saying could as well be "one woman's junk is her man's treasure"..? :mrgreen:

You may be on to something there as I have retrieved stuff from the garbage that she was tossing out.

Welcome! And talking of interesting 'junk' is that some kind of stationary engine behind the Thistle trike pic?

 

[Galtbacken]

A lawnmower?

Yeh that's an Eaton's gas powered reel mower I never saw one before so had to have it. You wouldn't believe the junk err I mean treasures I got laying/kicking around here. In fact I traded a1958 Bolen's Ride-A-Matic for this bike a 1939 Royal Flyer and 1948 Royal Enfield motorcycle Engine. Still not sure who got the best of that deal but I did always want a Balloon Tired bike and I still have another 58 Ride a Matic with a bunch of utensils. Actually it's why the bikes are dug out to organize the back part of the garage to put all the junk err antiques and a couple of my cars(too many cars). It's amazing what you find and forgot you had. I'm glad I did cause finding this site was cool.

So many things to do, so little time and never enough money.
