So I got a Hummer from my pal Junior (FatAbone on the HAMB). He charged me $100.
1958 Harley Hummer (at least that's what the guy told him). He found it sitting outside when he went to pick up an old truck. It'll be my first restoration of a basketcase bike- I won't go for show winning stuff, but I'll try to put it together semi-original I guess. Mainly just to see if I can do it. And if it looks like I'll get too much tied up in it, I guess I'll just part it out.
The frame seems good. Missing rear wheel and engine covers and probably some other little stuff. Most of it's there, but really rough. Junior got as far as taking it all apart before selling it to me.
Anybody have one of these things, ride one, or know anything about them? I haven't gotten to dig around the web yet to look for parts or info, but hope to before I start on anything.
Any words of wisdom or stories about your 'Hummers' appreciated at this point.
Thanks-
Rob
