(non) Update. Other Projects Interfere...

It's been a few weeks since my last posting, and there is little to report on the 441 project. Finances were never going to allow for any quick turn around, so I expected I'd run into this lull in activity. I did get around to finishing my wife's greenhouse, however. After the final parts came in, I was able to complete its assembly, and my wife couldn't be more pleased (she's a licensed nursery specializing in micro greens). And then, more in keeping with projects of the two-wheeled variety, I convinced my son to give me a hand with his '74 HD Ironhead Sportster. Yes, you read that right... he's giving me a hand with his Sportster project. I had to do something to reclaim some space in my (cough) garage. The BSA was never an issue, as it was stored on shelves, in boxes, in the attic, etc., but that still left two Sportsters and a BMW R26 that one had to navigate around in order to get anything in the way of home repair, etc. on the front burner. The garage was made for a model T, and I already partitioned it for "office" space. The '74 Sportster is now in parts and pieces. I'll give it the not-so-royal treatment, cleaning every part, rattle-can painting the frame, jugs and heads, and getting to a point where it might go back together without much ado - and without much need for reaching into my own wallet for a successful outcome.
