Patina? Uh-h-h-h, should we put it to a vote?

I think I see Tenn80 in this pic?

Yep, @Tennessee80 and @tone33

According to El Capitan Teflon, not sure what his tag is on here anymore but he’s claiming no one uses BLO any more on patina preservation?

I remember that day! Had a good time meeting some other cruiser heads I still have my white 80 and put it to regular use but Joel sold his 40.

Good eyes, @sggoat ! I did sell that ‘74, and now working on a ‘73 with some cool patina… hopefully getting her back on the road by spring...

How do you like those mirrors mounted to the door hinge vs. the window hinge? It's been on my list to do, but havent tried it out yet.

Best mod. Does not work on windshield hinge. Cool cruisers of Texas sells the brackets you need to switch out the base so your windshield arms work on the doors

Do those pumpkins come from the huge pumpkin fields around Dove Creek?

Perhaps! If you like huge pumpkins, check out the Damriscotta Pumpkin Regatta in Maine. They race them down the river.
