Me and wifey are in Florida for a few days. Melbourne beach...lookin out at the ocean. Sunny and 70, but man is it windy!
We got 6 inches of snow just before we left Michigan. Had to shovel out before we could leave.

Hey Kirrbby if you pass through Jacksonville on your way home and want to check out all my junk give me a shout…you can take a ride on the green carbon fiber Daytona 190 ct and see what you think …?

Thanks for the compliments Robert. Appreciate that. Glad I could inspire you on your future K0 build.

I would love nothing more than to pack all my CT70 parts and crap away forever and spend my free time chasing some giant florida bass all winter!!! I have zero interest in ice fishing so CT70's are my winter get the F off the couch projects and keep my mind off bass fishing! If travel restrictions weren't so damn ridiculous right now, I'd probably be down there without hesitation. Headwaters Lake/reservoir is my next Florida fishing trip.

Couple good camera shots in the bright February sun. A couple more heat cycles and then time to readjust the valves and change the oil.

Nice work! When I first clicked this thread I thought I read "Rustoration" but that's a proper Restoration!

Thank you Harvey G! Only rust here is some surface rust patina. Everything else, every nut, bolt, clip, bearing and seal is brand new or restored. Welcome to lilhonda too, lots of good info and people here.
