They don't appear to be THAT rare.

Hoist!

Don't think so either.  That bike is one of my eBay auto searhes..... dammeit!!   searches, one of my ebay auto searches just to keep track of what they're going for.  See one show up every month or so there.

Racked up a few more miles today.  We picked up Miss Evo from the vet at 9am.  She was spayed yesterday.  It was 34 degrees outside.  I bundled up, rolled Thumper outside, and made my first start attempt.  Compression releases closed before she started.  It was so cold.  I had to get Renea to hold the front open, while I held the back open and hit the start switch.  Started after three revolutions.  Definitely tight.  Went to Lynchburg, Tullahoma, Monteagle Mountain, Scottsboro, Guntersville, Arab, Cullman, stopped in at the shop in Hanceville, had lunch with Rod, Richard, and Gary and headed back home backtracking AL 69 to US231 in Arab.  Awesome day to ride......even though it was cold.  Feels great to ride the Ditch Pickle again.

Thanks for the list, Howie.  Appreciate that.
DEWD......you know me.  My application of the term "rare" differs from most, since I'm such a picky little bastard.

Henry, sorry I missed this yesterday, but congrats on getting Thumper (aka, The Ditch Pickle) back!!   Sounds like you got a sweet build there and hopefully a bullet-proof one.  I know she's going to get ridden a lot.  Good to have her back home where she belongs.

Hey Charlie!  Thanks!  Definitely a great feeling to have her home.  Got to take a quick spin on her one week ago today, but there was a transmission side door and primary leak that needed to be fixed, as well as a few OCD (literal meaning) things Rod wanted to check before he gave her to me.  Yesterday and especially today have been the first jaunts of quality time I've spent with the old Girl since she had all this work done.  So far, I'm quite pleased........maybe just a little skittish........but I feel really good her.  Bottom end is solid.  The work and components that went into the top end are second to none.  She's a hot rod for sure, but will not be ridden that way.  Rod did a build like this one for another gentleman who has already put over 30K hard miles of aggressive riding, jack rabbit hole shots, and generally.........racing on his engine.  It was in the shop during one of my visits for a bigger TB.  Dry as a bone and solid as a rock.  The only differences between mine and his is I have a S&S forged crank, and he has a stock crank......trued, welded, and balanced, of course; 103 heads, and a Borzilla.  So the way I figure it, if the build can handle his abuse with a stock crank, then it should be able to handle my riding style.  It is powerful......scary powerful.

That's great Henry.     Knowing you, Thumper will look like she just came off the showroom tomorrow.  Can't wait to hear how she dyno's out.

I've finished putting all the doo dads back on Thumper.  Only one snag.  The neutral switch cover required a slight modification in order to properly fit without cutting into the insulation on one of the terminals on the All Balls starter.  I gotta apologize for this photo, since the mod is sorta hard to see.  I'm still getting accustomed to this MacBook Pro, and I can't find a software package on it, which will allow me to draw an arrow or a circle.  Just zoom in to the bottom of the neutral switch cover where it normally contacts the rightmost side of the starter solenoid.  Had to "notch" the neutral switch cover.

You have a lot of nice things on your bike, Henry!  I think she's a keeper!!
