If Ur watching Willie work the pit, it really draws U in to see it done. He cooks a large amount of meat. Time and heat. It’s kinda hard to get it just right. Moving the wood, moving the meat; watching the smoke, basting, the rub, turning the meat. Willie’s kinda like a steam train engineer. It’s hard work. I know the procedure, but I don’t have the energy level to do all the little timed procedures in the proper sequence. At the end of the day he’s exhausted. I might get thru one day of but I’d be too exhausted to do it again the next day.
I’ve been enjoying riding my ‘75 R90/6. Decided I needed to add some bags to carry stuff. I knew I had an old set of Olympic bags up in the attic in the garage. I had bought them years ago at Dixie Cycle in Cincinnati, Ohio. They had been returned. One of bag had a small crack. I checked them out, other than the small crack, the bags looked good. They came with some modular bag mounts. I’ve had quite a few airheads over the years, I just never used them. Decided it was time to use them. A little JB weld to fix the crack and they’ll be good to go.

Better than the R90/6?
Along this line of though I have another R90/6, kinda in the pipeline. It’s gonna be twin disc, 1000cc, big valve, dual plugged,40mm Bings, 70HP etc.,etc.. Gets me excited thinking about it. 
looking forward to that comparison. Probably, will have 2 winners in this joust.

How many bikes you got laying around? I can't keep track of all of them!
Motorcycle Accumulation Syndrome
Ok, maybe time for my personal time line of my accumulation of bikes; a little history and some personal thoughts about it. Along with some pics. I generally get a very personal attachment to motorcycles. Yea, it’s a sickness. I’m not the only one who has this affliction.

This syndrome is very much like alcohol and tobacco addition. U gotta perfectly good motorcycle; Ur buddy has a cool bike, that U secretly wished U owned. One day he quietly states, he’s found a new bike to ride, it’s newer, faster, more gizmo’s and farkles. So, Ur going to sell THE BIKE. Yep, gotta let her go to get the new rig. The Wife laid the law down; only one bike atta time. Boy, can U believe that; how mean. By the way what are U asking for the the old ride. U see where this is going. So, by happenstance having nothing to do with U, Ur now the owner of 2 bikes. Wow, that’s cool. I got 2 bikes in the garage. My bike and the bike I always wanted. I gotta choice on what to ride. I’m now a Playa. Fix one up for touring; one for Styling and Profiling. 
‘94 r1100rs
My Oilhead, nicely outfitted. It’s back in the garage somewhere covered up.

The first Oilhead was the ‘94 R1100RS. Here with big lid system cases, RT trunk, hand guards, headlight cover, bigger rear fender on the front fender. This guy knew his bidness. Wouldn’t surprise me if he had a Staintune exhaust system and a mapped out fuel/air system.

K100RT to K100
My K100RT now in the process to be a plain K100. Tired of sore knees banging the back of the fairing.
