SOHC Project

Parting is always such sweet sorrow. Its been almost a year since I started this blog. I don't like blogs that drag on and on, so I think its time to bring this one to a close.

A year ago I started a journey. The journey was as much about filling a void as it was about building a bike. I had just started back to work after having been unemployed for 5 months. With out getting to Froudian, people have different ways of dealing with questions about life, purpose, and selfworth. This project was a part of answering those questions. Building this bike has taught me how to troubleshoot, attention to detail, and above all patience. I hope this is just the beginning of a lifelong relationship with motorsports, restoration and metal fabrication.

Before I close theres a few people I'd like to thank. First to my wife for putting up with gas fumes in the garage, grease under my nails, and countless Ebay purchases. Next to Daryl "The Squirrel" Wayne Locklear for letting me crash at his place when I picked up my bikes, and the last minute calls when I was in a pinch. To all the members of Hondachopper.com . Thanks for the countless tips, tricks, and processes that allowed me to build my bike. To Louisiana Technical College , specifically Mr. Boone, Mr. Hanson, and Mr. Bill for there patient instruction and advice. And finally to the Almighty for giving me the health, strength, and grace that allows me to persue the things that make life rich.
