! And, how well does that 78 fit in to the picture, too? The only thing that looks out of place is the can of WD-40.
Very cool!I filmed an episode of an antique motorcycle web series yesterday with my buddy Dale at the Wheels Through Time Museum in Maggie Valley, NC. We took his newly acquired 1913 Harley-Davidson, which hadn't run in at least 80 years or so and got the old girl going again. We lubed up all of the joints, heated the old oil out of the cases with a hotplate underneath to drain it, put some NOS Firestone Nonskid tires, cleaned and adjusted the magneto, filled it with gas and oil and fired it up in no time. Never even touched the 105 year old carb or as much as wiped the original plugs! Had to clean some corrosion off of the points so out came my new SMKW 78 which handled the job with ease, in all one of less than 10 tools it took us to get this thing back in shape after such a long time.
although Harleys have got to much on the heavy side for me these days I still have my memories and a Smooth white bone #78 in my pocket and a Northfield UN-X-LD Golden brown jig bone #78 inbound.

Fantastic to see a 78 involved in such a worthwhile and honorable endeavor.I filmed an episode of an antique motorcycle web series yesterday with my buddy Dale at the Wheels Through Time Museum in Maggie Valley, NC.

My appaloosa bone arrived today! I wasn't sure what to expect since there's so much variation, and I admit I was hoping for a more symmetrical pattern on the front and back, but the more I look at mine, the more it's growing on me. With the leaf shield, it has a sort of woodsy dirt over stone look, maybe, or scuffed dirt over snow. Nature isn't often symmetrical, after all.
And here's all three of mine together. Might switch things up and give white bone a break and give one of the others some pocket time.

! I rather like your Appaloosa Bone, it has some striking character to it.
