While waiting for my other box of lug studs to get here, I decided to make a keychain for Papa Doc. Took 3/4" copper pipe, hammered it flat, stamped it, and sanded it. It's far from perfect, but perfect for PD!





Outstanding. I like the perfect "imperfect" lettering. 

Thank you! It was a fun little project to do while waiting for my brake parts to come in!

When I installed my Carter carb from Scoutpilot, I had forgotten to install the "accelerator linkage carburetor spring tab", so I've just had the accelerator spring looped over a nut on the carb.  Well I finally got the spring tab installed, and also installed a new throttle cable since the old one was measured and cut to fit the Solex I had.  It'll be nice to be able to use it sometimes, haha!

Had a buddy of mine who's in the new hinge bracket for PD's tailgate. Of course, it looked pretty rough. A little Rustoleum Matte Hammered Copper, dry time, and some 220grit sandpaper to knock the shine off  and you can barely tell unless you get up on it!

Thanks!  I didn't want to leave it looking fresh welded rough.  Just didn't fit in with the whole look of PD.  I was glad I found a paint color that was close enough for government work!

Just letting everyone know I'm still around. We had to move out of state for a few years and have less room than we did before, so Papa Doc is currently in storage. Planning on taking him for a spin next time I'm back home, making sure everything is still running well. I put fuel stabilizer in the tank before I drove him to the storage place, and only run ethanol free so hopefully my fuel system will stay clean as long as I run him a few times a year when we go back home.

What's the story with the Kawasaki?

I would love to happen upon a vintage two stroke dual sport; I think I'd be a hoot to be on a ring-dinger again!

That also belonged to my stepdad and I picked it up when I picked Papa Doc up. I haven't had a chance to work on it yet, but I'll eventually get around to tooling around with it!
