First toy of the year....

[Lee Brubaker]

My heater crapped out over the winter....still worked but efficiency waaaay down so no working in the shop. Now that it has warmed up the first thing that had to be done was install a gas fired tube heater. At 45,000 btu's for a 440 square foot space, that thing really puts out heat.
Anyhow, you will recall the motorcycle rocker that I copied from a photo in our local newspaper of a clever Welsh toymaker & his motorcycle rocker. His of course, uses a light bike style with a single cylinder motor. I decided to try a modify this to a more North American style bike hence, this one has a twin "V" motor.
This one will be donated to an organization that works with inner city parents with kids that suffer learning difficulties to bring them up to speed before they enter the school system.
