Surly decided, and I'm in complete agreement by the way, that it's time boogie, oogie, oogie on the BSA. I ordered some side covers and air cleaners for the project. We need to discuss some other details yet, but I'm going to defer to Surly on the design. Eventually the bike will be his, might as well make it like he wants. He'll come up with something that's a classic design that will honor my brother's memory.
Surly sent me this photo with the side covers and air cleaners I ordered installed on an Oil in Frame bike like ours. Not sure what the rest of the bike will end up looking like at this time, but the handlebars will definitely be lower - probably something in the neighborhood of a 2" rise.
I'm thinking something like this would be pretty cool. Again, whatever Surly says is what we're going to do.
The goal for the year now is completion of the BSA, Sportster and the vintage trials bike. Reasonable goal, especially since my chest has stopped hurting. I'm feeling more like my old self, which actually means, more like my younger self. I doubt if I'll ever be a human dynamo, but no reason Surly and I can't get some projects taken care of this year.

What about the Jitney?
It's going back in the rotation as well. I'm still waiting on the quick change rear I want.
