Gift from an old friend. Sure took imagination to come up with from basically junk. Not quite the Royal Enfield I'm eying right now but I like it fine. Good gas mileage & doesn't take up much space.
4th anniversary of "the night of the living dead" today. Well, they told me to walk a lot & drink lots of fluids, so 1 1/2 days out of IC, I caught the bus into Fort de France, walked a lot & had some brews. Life is great! Especially when compared to death.
A wonderful gift from a friend I cannot think of anything better. Sorry you are so sick but you seem to be in good spirits. Keep trying for your friends & loved ones when times are hard.
Zowie, that was 4 yrs ago. I feel great & still have the one who put me in the cardiac unit! LOL!
I've only just come across the post I'm glad all is going well I love to start my day on a positive not hope I didn't stir old forgotten memories.
Blunder did they really send you home with ekg patches on ? Never heard of it . But so glad your back from the walking dead :-) My husband had open heart surgery in 2009 and feels great ! Love the bike and also your I wanna live attitude :-)
Happy Anniversary buddy !
Zowie, those are memories that will never be forgotten! LOL! Mani, I guess I kind of escaped (I'm good at that) and figured they put a bus stop near the front door for that purpose. The wheels on the bike are old bearings that still turn & the steering turns too. Gift from a sort of Ex. Lots of detail.
You look like you did escape and I would not doubt it geesh :-)
Happy Anniversary!
Great post BB!
Bonne Anniversaire!
Thanks Mani, Walks and Vetra. Guess they meant walking around the hospital but that didn't sound like fun & had already made friends in town while they did tests. Who wants to be around sick people? I did literally escape when they couldn't confirm my Fr. social coverage & one of my planes was leaving for home. I escaped from a Jamaican hospital once in disguise. As staff told me once, this isn't f/b, so my email address is on my profile. It was crazy!
I would escape a Jamaican hospital for sure ! My mother had a minor accident on a moped bike and scrapped her arm had road burn. They ran it under water from a old pump ..well we had to airlift her home before she died from gangrene and was in USA hospital 3 months trying to save her arm from scraps ! They first told her to wash it off in sea . Glad we got her home in time and a seriously ill lady she was by then .
Hey Brat, you just have to roll with the punches that life gives! Mani, was that in Jamaica? "Sea bath" is usually a good move. Did they save her arm? You left us dangling! I've been dead twice before & have no fear of it now. Have learned that I hate morphine! I like me too much the way I am.
They did save her arm but her arm was left terribly scared . The Drs here said that while Jamaicans are used to certain bacteria we are not so after a near death from a scrapped arm it was saved .My Mom has since passed away but spent much time in Jamaica and went back many many more times . So much so that she left in her will money to a family she took care of . My sister is there a lot now .
I had morphine one time and had anaphylactic shock and was good I was in ICU so they could treat it quick . Very Allergic to it .
Glad to hear the end of the story wasn't a full tragedy! Don't know why those Fr. luv that morphine so much? After, I think, about 1 1/2 days, I asked them to turn off the pump. They came every few minutes asking if I needed it turned back on? The physical pain wasn't worth having to be on that crap! Again, this is not f/b & my email address is on my profile. Luv rapping with you, but that's for another site. Great story! LUV
Plenty of fluids. I am all over that.
So your a poster child for what >>>>????...lol
Certainly not for AA, Roy!
lol......... amen ,one day at a time............
Roy, maybe for an add for Lorraine biere in Martinique! Certainly not a poster child though. LOL
lol maybe Dos Equis ............I enjoy one or two on a hot day...smiling
Interesting work of art (the bike) Nice detail!
Pops, it's nice to have a comment on the bike! I'm impressed. Had a couple that came down when I lived on the Fr. side, & both of them loved to pick up bits & pieces on the beach & make things with them & give them away. They gave me several but sadly got lost between moving & hurricanes. It was their hobby & they were good at it. I luv to meet nice people like that. Always brings a smile to your face.
I would like to thank everybody who responded, even if it wasn't about the bike. Everybody loves to know there are friends out there who care. Luv you all, except I'm not real sure about Roy. LOL! Hard to believe I've been with CW for 4 yrs without being banned. Thanks to you, staff. I could promise to behave myself in the future, but you would know I am lying.
That is what we love about you lol your honesty :-)
blunder's a piece of work alright!
Yes he is pops no one else like him .....Should we be thankful lol :-) 2 might be hard to keep up with !
Thanks again. Guys & girls from a dysfunctional family of 1 & 1. LOL!
GGGG was looking at your new profile picture ..at first I though it was.. Steve McQueen ...lol ....then I put my glasses on and realize it was only Donald duck on a moped ....oh ya
LOL Roy :-) Your one of a kind also ! Gotta love you too :-)
Yeah Roy, depends on how well people know me as to whether they see Steve McQueen or Donald Duck. That's my big 180 cc that will be a Harley when it grows up.
30.Manikin Manikin,
LOL Roy :-) Your one of a kind also ! Gotta love you too :-)
hey ,...have to get my shots in when he's up ...lol or is that down ...smiling ..thanks doll.......
just keep watering it lucas ...smiling
Roy, I repeat, you're my favourite antagonist! Actually, I have decided I don't want a "Hardly". I can zip past them in traffic much better & get 65-75 mpg. Can buy 10 of these for the price of one HD! I can pick it up if it falls over too. Still want that Royal Enfield 350 though because of the quality (no plastics).
had a friend who had a 750 endfield I believe ...bored it out and had a hell of a time kick starting it every time ...he was a big boy too,. oh well ,..glad I
'm still a pain in the a$$..no one else wanted the job.. smiling, time to go T U later..
Sure glad nobody else wanted the job, "Pain in the a$$"!! I'll have to ck but the only ones I know of being made now are the 350 & 500.
OMG Blunder! I'm glad you made it thru and I hope that the hard part is behind you! You take care of yourself, you hear?!
P.S. I've done the same thing in my windows a long time ago & love the bike too :) Behave now!
Share, I broke that pig valve "in" within a few days & it seems to have adjusted well & like it. I actually thought about body building, but after stepping out of the shower & looking in the mirror, I decided I needed to find a better construction site. Luv & thanks. I consider myself to have controlled emotions, but the responses, I have to admit, have brought tears to my eyes a number of nites.
Blunder, cheers! I toast to your rock n roll lifestyle dude!
Amber, I'm beginning to have some trouble with the "rock" but I do have a roll. I burn incense to the Cialis Gods! "Better living through chemistry". LMAO!!!
Dude! Never too old to rock! Fat glass of wine in my hand currently
Amber, please let up! I'm still laughing so hard with tears that I can't see what I'm typing! Staff! We have another run-away poste!! This is just too good! LMAO!!
Nice bike!! You look healthy in photo!! Remember Samson was strong until the woman cut his hair!! haha! You are much healthier than Dick Cheney! (If you know who he is!) Take care my good friend!
Tora, wasn't he a bad comedian?
Lucas.... I have some things similar to this : But were made by inmates in the custody of the state. Have and had friends incarcerated for being social misfits and they have made a couple things like this and gave to me.....I'll dig a couple out and show you some of the recreational pieces they've produced. Thanks for sharing this fantastic piece and Happy Good Heath day :-)

listen to this puppy run ....lol Would love to take on out for a putt .....I like Norton's as well..
hm mmmmmmmmmmm should read..... take ittttttttttttttt out for a putt ..been a long day ...lol
I don't remember seeing anybody making things like this kerry. LOL Gas welding by inmates that would require gas bottles etc. sounds a bit iffy to me. I need to stop where she works next week & see if she knows where they are made. I was an outside contractor for the place until the Marshalls (owners & operators of the store) of Marshalls Dept. store chain (now sold out) ripped me off for around $4K. Seemed like nice people at the time but I was shown 1st hand how they got their $millions!
Thanks Roy. Not often I find myself thanking YOU for anything. LOL You're going to push me until I buy that 350, aren't you? At my age, I have to keep what I can in the banque & the price is $4,8K. Lot of work now & if it isn't sold in the next month, I'll get it. We are in the off season so doubt it will sell soon & I want the season to start so I don't sell my "Indian" cheap. We play the season market here.
Well everybody, I think I'm going to drop out of CW for awhile. It's looking too much like the last day of a yard sale. Golf balls & urinals!! I only work when needed, but can't waste hrs everyday gleening thru 95% trash to see 5% treasure. It's just not what it used to be. I'll follow for a few days for comments. I know staff can't control it but it's lost direction. Disgusting is the word I'm looking for. Think you have been putting up with me for about 4 yrs., but enough is enough!
I'll miss my friends here.
Lucas, will miss your comments and chuckles, I know exactly what your talking about......I'll go to cabin and retive those "Jailhouse" art motorcycles in the next couple days and hope you get to see them in your bouncing in
Stay for sure for a few more days so I can write you a clear message! You are one of my best friends on CW! I understand! I have too much stuff. I love CW, but need to focus on reality more. Work on health and my bucket list! If you leave CW, I will send you Simon to keep you company if you want! Really! For sure! Don
Was it something I said!
Just because the neighbourhood is going to hell doesn't mean you should leave your friends behind.
You will be missed my friend.
Kerry, I'll touch base every once in awhile, but promise nothing. It's turned into uncontrolled crap now! 4 yrs ago, we were a happy family. Now the A.H's have found us! I'll miss a lot of the treasure, but the "trailer-trash" have moved in like the poor relatives. I've been saying I was going to drop out for close to a year & now I'm doing it.
My email address is on my profile if anybody wants to get in touch or wants a free place to stay in SXM but I will ck their profile on CW before agreeing. If you see anything that you think I would really want to see, please let me know. Will miss the good friends I've met here & Kerry, flip a "bird to the rest". Best part of my day was when Jacky said she wasn't talking to me. The worst part was she wouldn't shut-up afterwards! LOL. If mama ever told you that life was going to be easy, I'm sorry to tell you that she lied to you!
Lucas....I know what you're saying...lots of good people have left, and others hang in the background, I'll miss you but will keep in touch....on the email side of things... Good luck my friend and may health, wealth and happiness fill your day
Happy Anniversary BB2 :) Rock it!!!!!!!!
Before you leave, can I have this bike?
Tora, if I promise to stay on 3 days, will you promise not to send Simon?
Of course it was something you said Walks! LOL No end to fun with friends, but no time for strangers of a 3rd kind!
Kerry, you're a "sudener" & you should know when "enough is enough"! There are a lot of people that I've "made friends with" on CW that I would luv to meet, but the price has just gotten too high. Sorry. A bientot.
Thanks Sean & appreciated. If I could just quit having dreams in French, I would consider myself healed! Until then, I worry. LOL
Well got everyone talking & glad all worked out well but I'm sorry to see you go as you have been helpful & you will be missed take care.
Simon Sez! blunder might hurt me! He is a Macho Man! I am too! But he is bigger than me! I not want to go!! I stay here! The wise Simon Oz has spoken!!
Blunder I hope you stay :-( I do understand how we WERE like a family and CW was so Fun along with sharing our collections and it has changed :-( . But we need you here and lets try and bypass all the rest of stuff going on . You have been a delight and one of a kind and I have grown quite fond of you xoxo Stay in touch ok . Hoping you will stay however .
Appreciate your words Mani. I've tried to follow CW everyday but it has just gotten to take up too much time. My "retirement" work load has increased to where I don't want to spend hrs. every nite weeding thru "drive-by" posts & trash. Just a matter of managing my time & being practical. I know I will miss a lot of good things but just can't keep up with the volume & decided not to try. We have a good group of friends & people who have dropped in with interesting things, but the Meaning of the word "Collectors" seems to have fallen to the wayside. We throw in junk like this poste of mine, but we have always had fun with it. The atmosphere has changed by the volume. I'm still here once in awhile, but just don't have the time or inclination to follow as closely. I'm not the 1st to go to the wayside with the changes. I'll throw in something every once in a while just to remind everybody that I am here & humour is not dead, but will probably only reply to comments on those posts. Well, I just ck'd my passport & it's not French, so another good day! LUV!

oh your going ...lol ................c ya ,.... old fart ..
Passing note. Friend who just bought a new Royal Enfield showed me where the frame was obviously welded without a jig & now a big problem. Back to looking.
you must have a welding shop there on that island ...lol...then again ... send off for some prints on the frame and make ya own jigggggggggggg or tear it down and send it off to ozzzzzzzzzzon on the main land ........
Lets see if I understand you right Roy? My friend has to take down a brand new (often referred to here as "new brand") bike, correct a major frame F-up and reassemble. All at his expense? I can see it in the Indian factory now: "can you hold this piece about here while I tac-weld it? Thanks." . My bubble has burst & my dream machine a bad memory.
Glad you are up and running. Also glad to hear it was your heart that was a problem. I have often been told I don't have a heart so I should be okay. Brain isn't a problem here either....so I have been told. Smoking and lungs do present an issue. Keep being feisty and try to keep up with me at being cantankerous.
Roy, I can't imagine anybody accusing you of being cantankerous! Bet you had to look up the spelling on that one, as that was considered antiquated by the time I was 20! That's a long time ago! LOL. Luv it when you spar with me! You should know better by now. Give up that smoking! That's bad shit! I gave it up after 47 yrs of heavy use (3-4 packs per day) & feel so much better being able to breath well & not coughing at nite. Women don't like sleeping with men who cough all nite in their sleep. The "agony plan" is BS but my address is on my profile & I can tell you the way I did it without any agony or struggle. Please contact me. I have a weakness for helping the weak.
Gggggggggg thought you were going away ...lol smoking is bad ...SH$T not for me as much as I would love a camel ...o blunder you are to full of your self...smiling...didn't see the brand new part about the bike..., so what's the problem... bring it back to be fixed..........or don't make the payments ... whats the big deal.... old man.....c ya
Roy, I owe nobody & pay cash, so don't need built in problems with no recourse. Really love that bike!
lol that's to bad ..so you must have some recourse...like a warranty ...?
No warranties is the "Wayward Islands" that count. You get & have to accept what you pay for but there a good points for car bombings. Oops, I probably just went on the gestapo "watch list"! By the way, I was supposed to get a piece of tail today (for painting), but it's election day & my painter in into politics so got bored. Changing of the thieves in power. You have access to my email address, & as CW staff pointed out, this is not facebook.
this aint fb ...huh. oh that's right it ebay /cw ...lol try some Viagra ...buddy ..ya
I have your number and address.. lol time to go T U,.... have a good life old man........... smiling
this aint fb ...huh. oh that's right it ebay /cw ...lol try some Viagra ...buddy ..ya
I have your number and address.. lol time to go T U,.... have a good life old man........... smiling
Roy, get on my joke thread & then we can communicate! Cialis is better: "Made for a man, meant for a woman."
BB2 I am still laughing at your understated humour...
I also like the bike...
T-Mon, thanks for mentioning the bike before I got deleted again! This turned into another "out of control poste". What bike?!!
Love the bike BB2 feel better pirate !and remember the only real mark we leave in this life is in our shorts
have to admit Drill, I was on 3 sec. delay, but got it. lol. Momma never told me to keep my shorts on & afraid I have contributed too much to the world's gene pool. Maybe the problems we see today are my fault. Accustomed to being blamed for everything anyway.
He! He! that gene pool has got a wonderful sense of humor.I'm sure u passed that along to many. don''t change a thing.(To leta in the game anywayThat is the secret to health in this life Good humor!
Jacky keeps insisting on contributing to the gene pool but I don't think the world is ready for that combo! I've told her many times that I've been "snipped" but she doesn't even wake up when I whisper it. Proof that there is a place in life for slow learners. Practice makes perfect!
Im not real regular :) but once in a while get the urge to comment.
I don't follow CW very closely but you are one "on the short list"
SHANE, COME BACK! ...Come back Shane...
Keep your powder dry.
Good to see you Boots! Thanks to you and everybody for your comments. Got my tail painted so back to the airport so will be joining Bootson's example of just touching base for awhile. A bientot
Oh, Boots. Remember that hanging around is better than hanging!
yeah just pop in once in a while, you will be able to see what your buds have been posting and maybe drop a little nugget of your wisdom on em from tim to time.
it might not be the same hour, day, or even month as the original post but they will know you are still alive.
Oh and by the way, I know you have the "sassy" part down but judging by your last picture you better have a few more beers and work on the "fat" part.
If you ever bring a blunderbuss to Minnesnowta, we'll burn some black powder and the first rounds on me.
Boots, I'm not sure "staff" really appreciates most of my "little nuggets". LOL. They still haven't offered me a bribe to unsubscribe! Would luv to scratch some flint with you in Minnesnowta with you, but even carrying 250 yr old guns internat'l today is impossible. "First rounds" means shooting or beers? Staff is probably cringing now & saying "fb". Shift to my email on my profile please. Been working on the "fat" part but not easy at my young age. I like you already!
Very nice post blunderbuss!
About your photo number 4. LOL!!! :)
You are incredible! At your health!! :)
Virginia, we aim to please! I had to get a bus back to the hospital before dark after a few days as I noticed the local "ruffians" had spotted a wounded animal & I didn't want to hurt them. LOL
Thanks gang! I appreciate all the appreciation. Still off & on with the one who put me there. Slow learner I guess!
Glad to see you are still with us take care my friend.
Thanks Zowie. I always figured that "hanging in there" was better than hanging! Chaos is beginning to show signs of organization (At least at the airport). I credit NOOA for the lose of 5 lives & most of the destruction done here. My satellite observations showed something entirely diff. from what they were telling us.
It's been the same through out history we only get told what they wont us to believe they don't think we have eyes & ears for ourselves. Have a great day.
Zowie, an excellent example is that your soldiers are fighting & dieing for "Your country". Think about it.

a little something to keep you away from the sea of glass here.. smiling
Thanks for the good memories Roy. Got my 1st smg @ 15yrs old. M3 grease gun, then an MP18-1 Bergman, Schmeisser MP 28-II, Beretta MP 38/40, MP 38, paratrooper Reising, 2 MK II Stens, Browning 1919 light (not light to me), and a MAC 10 (9m/m) & now want a Swedish K. The good ole days LOL.
Check in every once in a while.
Drill, I've left my shorts in many places! And Boots, stay in touch more often!

Roy, not sure what relevance that has to my poste but it reminds me of my relationship with Whacky Jacky.
lol ...........
very cool!
a steampunk motorcycle!
I think it to be awesome
And good health to ya!!
Reed, I've toasted good health to about 10 people tonite & can't go forward anymore. You take over!
Sorry I haven't been in here for a while. I hope it's not too late to take over your job toasting. Mine will have to be with hard liquor, I don't drink beer. Will gold schlauger do fine?
What ever rings your bell, REED! I quit the hard stuff about '91 on requests from friends (And strangers)!LOL!
Yours is really cool too, BB, just different! Love it =))
(*found yours after learning about it via Nicefice's post)
Nice little bike!
Thanks Buckethead. You're a bit late & we're out of beer & brownies.
@Blunderbuss... the first time i saw pic#4, i lost my lunch, and that was 4 yeas ago! Now its back, like a bad case of the crabs, please spare us...LMAO
PS: Sorry, forgot to say, NO Offence !!!!!
No offense taken Izenglish. I died 2 yrs. ago, but I'm a lot better now. Thomas. Not out of beer or brownies now, but you are welcome to come down & sweeten the pot.
Not to worry! We don't really have a customs/duane ici. They only look at people coming from further south. Now, You, they may check ! LOL ! Just coming in from the Sunday Hash-brownie Tour. The only time St. Maarten looks like it does in the travel magazines !! LOL !!, But true. 18'03" S.
