Default Looking for a project

I'm looking for recommendations on sources to find an older project bike (pre-shovel, earlier the better). I have my daily rider, and it's time to find something to wrench on and spend those cold Ohio winters fixing up. I poked around the Classic and For Sale sections here, but not much going on there. Easy enough to find $30k restored bikes, but that's not what I'm looking for. Want to pass some knowledge and experience on to the next generation (my 2 sons). Also appreciate any recommendations for good sites/forums for restoration info. Thanks.

I need you to come up with a way to hook up a universal connection for exhaust pipe on the car . That will go to a hose 30 ‘ long and 1inch dia which will connect to the water sprinkler system pipe on the side a house . To blow it out every fall / winterize it . I just give you my intervention four today !

dude with this heat and pressure build up would cause more damage being most system valves and lines are of plastic nature with rubber seals and such. But a formable thought and good luck. Ride safe. Wild Bill
