Fall break - 4

Over it.

Seen worse but never from human error.  

Somebody tried to rebuild....then forgot parts and boogered up a bunch more.  

Pray to cycle gods that CRC2 has some extra jets, etc that don't come with the carb kits.

I love the new Mogwai EP.  

Fall Break - 3

AAaaahahahaha   This is a first.  Postman just left me an entire crate of goodies.  THUD!

Ordered my engine and all parts that go with it today......get here now!

Fall break -2

Translating, rattle can painting, bike riding, dog walking, oil changing, goodwill going, pizza eating......

 What is mozzy thinking?  At this exact time moyou was laying collapsed on the kitchen tile.   Odd.

 Wrench.

 Zach's 360

 Decided to be lazy and go with the original patina.... 

The frame and all parts I will be putting back on are painted and ready.  Now if my engine guy would just get his crap back in stock....

 Oil leak ghost.  A collaboration between Zach and I believe a cb500 owned by Grant.

Fall break report-1

Two days in, thrift and antique stores are getting heavy looks.  The garage is getting much love too.

Pickles and Mastodon from Hutch.

 Cleaning tanks, painting frames, ordering all kinds-o-crap.

Sometimes you have to go to Ohio

For a cb360.  Good compression, title, a hundo and a half.

This one's for the motorcycle medic.

 It was nice visiting I guess.  

Loving Hut, bike cops, and dudes that think it is impossible to sell a bike after the sun goes down.

Don't worry Ohio, we'll be back probably sooner than later.

Skate, Thai, Steer Inn

Thursday was busy.

Ready to Go?

Zach: CL200

Hutch: CB100 (and a creepy smile)

Me: Baby dream

Had some troubles on the way there but made it back just fine.

 Pretty bikes.

 This BMW was a Father/Son thing....it turns out the son goes to my school.....

 I want a cb175.

 I can't hate.  

 See more bobbers than stock xs650's these days. 

 The Yamaha Siblings out every month.

Cl200 double trouble

So I don't have any pictures besides this of them getting back from a ride.  The CL200 is riding nice.  We fixed the speedo with a cb350 one I had laying around, put cb500 rear shocks on it and adjusted them so it won't bottom out ...(Even with two up), and just made other minor changes.  The bike is coming together.  If there is a bike night tomorrow, everyone has a ride now.

 Oh yeah, and got some new breaks for my C110.  Want it to be ride-ready by the end of fall break......paint it tomorrow?  Maybe Gunz will come over?

Garage nights

C110 Tires

I changed tires with Nick D. a long time ago and it left a scar in my brain.  I avoided it at all cost and took them to the bike store whenever possible.  Then I ordered these German racing tires for the C110 build and I realized I had to put them on myself......Zach also bought his cl200 tires and tubes online so.........in the last few days we have put on 4 tires.  Mine were relatively easy.  NEVER taking these to get done again.  His front was easiest of all four.....  No tubes or rims were damaged.

 The big tire on the back of the cl200 was the only one that gave us issues but even that was easy with two people.  Some old tires just have to be cut off.........

 MidOhio find

 Getting back to my German roots for dinner.

 Do you think this sprocket is worn out?

 Finally got the cl200 running with new tires, rear rim, chain, updated electric, battery, and back to stock fender, etc.....  It still has some *unique* electrical *issues* but should be good for now.  Happy Zach!

Dessie has better balance.

It had been at least 9 weeks since I last saw my family.

Dessie Happy

 Dessie Sassy

Growing up too fast.

Friday

Wrote my first referral in about 2 years.
Grading papers all day for squirrrrrly kids that just want a fall break.

Came home to this.
I feel bad that she has to lay on the hard floor, until she does this.
