Work my patootie. You're probably still in the dog house for lying to the wife at the Bass Pro Shop about not having any money. LOL

My recent ebay acquisitions are finally rolling in. Some really nice 200x rear fenders and seat and tank and a 200x front end and some 200x rear hubs and wheels. Also 81 250r triple trees and some steering stem bearings and some front hub bearings. So, hoping to get a front end on here by the end of the weekend. I'll have 2 to choose from just in case. 81 250r wide tire and 83-85 200x skinny tire in case the 250r front end doesn't fit. Oh Great Gazoo, I need you now.

When are we going to see some pics of the collection, Veal? You have such interesting stuff!

[Vealmonkey]

There are pics of my stuff all over the site here. I've never really taken pictures of everything together. And really, my stuff isn't all together. It's scattered. I have a suspension 70 in Pa right now, a bolt on suspension 185s in my neighbors garage. Some trikes in my garage and some in my basement as well as the kitchen and living room and in the back of my truck! LOL Let alone the Ascott 500/350x in Pa at a different house and a set of laydown 200x cases where the suspension 70 is plus parts scattered here and PA as well. It's a logistical nightmare. I think I even have a extended 200x rear axle in PA, but can't remember exactly! LOL Ask The Great Gazoo, he'll tell you. If you come into my house and open a box, it's hard to say what you'll find. Seriously.

I was looking through my old magazines today. Some are pretty tattered and torn, but well read. Anyways, my newest magazine is Feb. 84, and in there is a ad for the Nicholson 500, but the frame shown is still a 185s based frame. I'm trying to figure out the transition of the 2nd generation 200x based Nicholson 500.

A few of your bits are at my place!

I tried emailing Bruce to see what was going on this weekend.

[ironchop]

I seek the "Nicholson 500x"!

That's a shame that I didn't know this when I was there. I would have enjoyed breaking bread with you. I didn't spend too much time in Nashville. After I arrived, I scored a hotel room, got up the next morning and had some continental breakfast, met motoman at Bass Pro Shop and I was back on the road again heading for home. It was a tough 2 days.

I made some progress today. I couldn't have done it without the help from The Great Gazoo - Brian. This doggone thing was a jigsaw puzzle to get apart. Definitely couldn't have done it by myself. I'll let the pictures tell the story.

[the great gazoo]

Yeah it was a little tricky to get apart, but heat sure helped. I'm real glad you're going w/ the 200X set up, the front end you got is in real good shape , I'm jealous,LOL.
Hopefully monday we'll get the rest of it done. Great to hang out with you as always bud.

[motoman1012002]

looks goo pat cant waint to get mine started

[Vealmonkey]

More progress. The Great Gazoo-Brian, stopped by again to lend a hand. I can't thank him enough for the extra hands, eyes and moral support. Great for conversation too. I don't know how he tolerates me sometimes! LOL Here are the latest pics. It was dark outside, but the camera didn't do too bad. Getting there. What do you think?
