This is the One!

| Currently, it's got a cop bike or funeral escort vibe. |
Overall I was very satisfied with my new bike. However there were several accessories on it that I could do without. I will start removing things and making changes to remake the bike into what I want it to be. Of course, everyone should configure their machine to provide them with the service and the appearance that they desire.
Driving, driving, and even more driving!
The Summer has come to an end as I finish writing up this post.
I started writing this post back in June, I've racked up a lot of miles since then.

My plan is to make the most of this decade of my life.
My last "fun" decade. "Fun?" In my Seventies? It's all relative. They're all that I've got left!
Laugh if you will, but at my age you've got to get the most out of the years that you've got left.

Fixing the hand brake release spoon.
The handbrake wasn't working when I test drove the car. The seller told me that it had quit working sometime in the past, and that he just left it in gear when he parked. That works of course, but if you want to leave the car running in neutral for whatever reason, you have to scrounge up a piece of 2x4 to use as a wheel chock.
I attended the Antique Motorcycle Club of America's regional National Show and Swap meet.

It was held at the Dixon California county fairgrounds. I could claim that attending this event changed my life!
Maybe it wasn't really life changing, but it was reaffirming to one of my life long loves.

Doing a little more work on the Plymouth. Part Two

| My hand drawn wiring diagram. |
As I mentioned in my last post, I had experienced a brake problem and was expecting to find a noticeable leak in the system. I did not find any leaking, however the problem could have been caused by an internal leak in the master cylinder.
This Summer, during a trip to Reno I visited the National Auto Museum.

This is part of what was once known as the Harrah's Collection. This collection was formerly housed in a couple of large warehouses located on the outskirts of the city. Many years ago, almost fifty to be exact, I visited the old display site, which was somewhat cluttered and not viewer friendly. I have an album of grainy old Instamatic prints of that visit. This time I brought my digital camera along with me. The images are much sharper.
