Spoonerisms

Pandora

Maps from Books
Click above for the best maps from literature.
Shanghai Shuttle
My Honda PA50II whose engine seals I have replaced three times. Right now I'm running my 64cc Polini kit on an NOS Chinese clone bottom end, but I'm not sure how long that's going to last with the new pipe I'm building for it. It's a great little bike and my first variated moped. Click the picture for more.
Puchavus
My combination Batavus frame with Puch ZA50 engine "Manx Edition." (Currently undergoing yet another transformation: Boardtrack/Bobber...?) Click the picture for more
Letterpress
My Kelsey 5X8 Excesior and rather wobbly type cabinet/press stand soon to be opening as a job press in agonizingly cold northern Indiana.
