IF I do make it to Windber it will only be because my kid has been helping me non stop for the last week....a lot of 10 hour days mixed in there.
I wanted him to have something nice to ride to reward his efforts so in between stints on the Spitler bike we did a quick mechanical resto on this all orignal 1970 Muskin Ti-Cat. Peekster spotted it on Ebay about 6 months ago $250 bucks and nobody bid on it :doah:
It was right in PA so I contacted the guy and cut a sweet deal on it.
Went over the mechanics of it front to back...all new cables and brake bands....new coil, points etc....rebuilt the carb....
Body rubbed out nice..the burnt orange metalflake is pure 60's.....new Kenny 8-Ball seat...
Peerless differential and 5 HP Briggs...Horstman TAV....dual rear brakes...this is a well made machine.
Hopefully it will be cruising the grounds at Windber come Saturday....
