Akira and I.

Masaru is the man

  I stumbled upon these tonight as I was avoiding Shubiki and his OPT files.....

I must apologize for my face being in too many of these.

I miss Masaru and I miss Japan.  

The cut off age for the JET program is 35 right?........

CL250 parked outside of Nike park in Shibuya.  Nice.....

Just left MXMXM....bombing the hill under the train tracks going to get some ROLAN!

Yeah, another smith grind.....

Vegan Donuts in Tokyo.
Again, try to focus on the neat characters in the background of the post office or that guy with the hat.

Masaru hooking it up taking me to the Honda collection hall at the Motegi raceway...I owe you big.

Don't remember the name of this park but it was SOO hot.  I definitely had some skate hangover the next day.

Climbing wall next to the park.

Honda 1975 XL350

  I bought this bike in St. Louis a few weekends ago but had other things to work on.

This weekend I decided I needed to at least start it.....

After a day of disappointment I finally decided to open up the points cover.....

Rusty points!

As you can tell by this picture, it was rusted shut basically.

This is the IV stand setup for...kind of hard to tell.

Old plastic tank for an IV bag and this run off the magneto.

Just happened to have new points and condenser laying around that fit this thing.  

After I gapped the points, it started first kick and sounded good....

Now I just have to wait to see if Ardcore can make a jackshaft for me...

if not, this thing is getting cleaned up and tuned I will have one more bike to sell in the spring...

I still love you

Bloomington

Garage update

"In and out of the garage all day and night!  When is this going to end..."

Bye Bye wood lift.  Hello more space.  

These bins turned out better than I thought.  

I have a ton left over, if anyone needs a couple, let me know.

Holga lens on my Nikon isn't near as good as a holga lens on a holga.  

Maybe I just need more practice.

Hutchs' Honda CL100 Wiring

Finally figured out the battery situation last night but didn't have time to finish.  Thanks T.O.

Rolled it up into the house today after the battery was mounted and wired it all up.

Zen moments abounding.  I have reached enlightenment. 

House Garage supplies list?  Check!

Battery mounted?  Check!

Under-seat wiring?  Check!

Rectifier ready?  Check!

Checked the wiring, everything is getting the appropriate amount of power.

Headlight and taillight lines are run and ready.

Let's fire this thing up!

Garage Gold

Went to Zionsville after a 12 hour day at work on a hunch and a crappy picture and came back with some garage gold.

Hardware store up there is getting an update and I get to dig in their trash.....

More pictures after the second trip tomorrow.

All in Z's Vibe.

Forgive me for this one.

When I get my garage set up with what I want, I will be down to get rid of some.

1962 Honda 125 Twin CS 92

I love individual exhausts on each side. 

I have only seen one of these in person once at Midohio. 

 Pretty sick.....
