Florida to Nantucket on a CB200

A couple weeks ago we got an email from this guy Alex who was planning to ride his 1975 CB200 from his home in Florida to Massachusetts with a potential stop in Philly.

I appreciate quality tools

Ricky and I picked up this Clausing model# 1670 drill press with a Baldor motor from an auction over the weekend. She’s a real deal drilling machine. I really like the simple detail of the riveted badges proudly displaying where they were made. We’ve been cleaning, oiling, and checking over the entire machine and noticed […]
