Build #2



I probably shouldn't be trying to build 2 bikes at the same time but it's winter and we still have a long way till the weather gives us anything decent to work with for skating or bikes so what else am I supposed to do?
I have two 350 twin projects. I stripped down 2 cb350's and as I sell the parts on ebay, I buy what I want for my rebuilds. I just got the this tank in the mail. In my opinion, this is probably the best looking tank to come out of the 70's. I found one from a shop that was shutting its doors in Canada and the buy it now price was insane for what arrived at my door today. I think that this bike will be built around the color of this tank.
I need a cl72 tank for my other project. Anybody? Ebay has one for 2,500 right now. No joke.
Does anyone that reads this want to have a bike night soon? I will donate my house. Lets sew seats and rebuild engines!

Happy dad

Need one......
This and a kerosene heater keeping everything toasty and my brain a little off center.

Dad is always up to something. Right now he is rebuilding/modifying a boat lift. All the cutting and welding is done, time to paint.

Almost done? Let's get some food, cheeser!



Chimp

Dad had the heat on so the frame got scratchblasted and first and second coated. The swing arm will eventually be removed and painted again but need it there for the welding next week.


Triple tree. First time doing this alone. Not too bad as long as you've got a dremel laying around. Time to buy some new bearings.


Tank bottom cut. This smells nasty nasty..... cut the back off next weekend and try to weld it back together?



New coils? Big brother special off his rx7

That time of year again


冬休み中、木の遊びと家の前の出口の直しを夢中になって
プロジェクトバイクの事をあまり考えなかったけど、
冬休みが終わって、バリバリ
ハードテールにする

実家にフレームを切りに行って、オークションで色々売ったり買ったりして、
そうしてこの二年ぐらい探していたパーツを。。。見つけた!cbやキックオンリーの70年代のバイクに使えるbattery eliminator!バーテリーの代わりになる部品。
来週末また実家に帰って、フレームの熔接をする予定

今タンクを募集中!

Wood splitting with dad

Been doing this since before I can remember. The first time I saw a wood splitter at an outdoor supply store, I had a good laugh. After using this thing for my whole childhood the other ones just look so.......tiny...

デッシー

I will ruin you......


Just kidding!!................

おめでとう!一歳のお誕生日!

十一月



全然アップしていない...
友達が日本に帰ってから
バイクの事を置いといて、
日本語能力試験の勉強が夢中になって。。
でも、昨日シカゴまで生徒の一人と受けに行って来たから
もうしばらく、読解、漢字、語彙、文法などの勉強したくない

週末からバイク作りが真面目になる。
スケボーも、友達のランプとライズのパークが出来て、いい感じになって来た.

話が変わるけど、何年か前からずっと絵を描いているけど。。。夏、春には外で出来る事がお多くて、あまり描かないけど、秋と冬の間はちょこちょこ描いている.

今日の寒さで10どFもう冬だから絵を描きたくなって、以前描いた物を見たら
ここにのせたくなった。アートって言えないかもしれないけど、
描くのが気持ちよくて、一生描くと思う.
で、友達にでもあっまり見せたりしないから、俺が死んだら..
もし家族が俺のお何千枚かの描いた絵を見つけたら驚くかな..
今日は最近描いたのを二枚のせます。
もしコメントがあれば、ぜひ〜
