"I discussed all this with Ronnie and it was decided to go ahead with the project but to "Rebuild" the bike and not try and "restore" it, figuring that the process would be less costly." | |
"I must now give a great YEE HAW -THANK YOU to all the fine individuals and vendors that put up with my zillion phone calls and e-mails trying to gather info". |

"I now have my sights on (what I have been told is) a 1953 125 Hummer that is complete and in very good original condition. So I guess I will be starting the process all over again in the future. I hope this little ditty will encourage folks to take up the challenge to rebuild-restore an old bike-car whatever. There is support out there if you are patient and persistent. If any one has questions about this build please feel free to contact me Lubepro2@comcast.net. Roy Goyette, Naples, Florida" |
Update on "The Junk Yard Dog!" "I delivered the bike back to my departed friends family yesterday. (ed. note: 8/25/2007) They are excited to have it back and are making major plans to "show" the bike in the VA. area. The AMSOIL Corporation is doing a magazine article on the bike which should be out in October. Several other Companies are also looking at using the bike in articles as well. While I was there I picked up the last remaining bike from my friends collection. It is a 1958 Hummer. Initial inspection shows that the bike is fairly well unmolested. It was repainted red from its original white, Has a little over 10,000 mile showing. The top end of the engine is gone and the muffler has been replaced otherwise it's all there. So once time and funds are available I will once again be working to restore this little jewel." |
