"Flexie Flyer" was a term I heard - along with "Hinge in the Middle".

Soon - another installment!

It's almost like I'm J.K Rawlings!! ;)

Sara,

Are there any items that you need to finish the Old Girl or are you good to go once the carbs are back?

Hi, Tom!

I think I'm good to go! There are some "clean up" items - I should replace the negative cable on the battery (the connector I put on it is way too big), one day I'll put the proper bolt set on the muffler struts, I'll continue to watch eBay for a battery clamp (the bike never had one), and I may end up replacing the clutch and front brake cables. Everything else seems to be there! Now, whether or not it works is another thing entirely...

What kind of condition were they in, Ed? Full of dirt? ;)
