Hey fellas. Been a while. Thought I'd share an update on the Gemini. I found the perfect size vintage checkered handlebar pad for it on ebay(I think it was the only one left in the world, and it was like 8 bucks!) and I put on an old number 5 decal I had from my bmx days. I think it completed the look quite nicely. My girlfriend even got me a stand for it for xmas. Over the summer I clocked it at 36 mph with my 200+lb self on board.
Here is sits in winter storage....in my basement. :smile:
New addition: Last night I picked a new to me bike. 1970 Arctic SSScat II. I had been looking for one of these for a while. Specifically a II with the Tecumseh and jack shaft drivetrain. I stumbled upon one within 10 miles of my house, from non other than the Rupp King. Does not have the original 4hp Tecumseh, but it does have a 5hp Tecumseh of the same vintage. Needs some tinkering and some fixing up, but otherwise it's pretty clean. I plan on trying to find some new/reproduction decals for it too....If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike
