Stuck the whole lot together with Red Hermatite and bolted it up. Never leaked again, we all did it round where I lived . The only problem was getting it apart again. Almost imposible. Thought all bikers knew that one. |

I asked my mother that question one time and she said she felt her father's era and when I asked her "why' she said because he was to young for World War I and to old for World War II, but at an era when everything we know of now and take for granted as "modern" were coming out during that era, such airplanes, automobiles, trains, movie industry, etc. |

What a beautiful sound they made on a country road, can still hear it in my mind. If I was a bit younger I would have a new bonneville. They are still so apealing . |
