Japanese Motobike Gold

Lebanon Swap restored my faith. 
Tim, Hutch and I bright and early. 

The theme was helmets.
I have a tiny skull......
The two helmets in the middle fit perfect, the one on the left was a little big but cheap.
The Bellmoto helmet fit nice too!

This is in such great condition...not a spot of grease on it!
I might scan and post pages from this on here......

Flowers are beautiful

yeah.
The white flowers are from the plum tree.
Pink are from the peach tree.
The pear tree hasn't been doing much for me,
and the cherry blossoms in the front aren't ready yet.




Lots of work was done to get it to this point.  
She is almost ready to go...
I wish Indiana didn't change it's bill of sale to title laws a few months ago......

Spring I guess

Ignore the clutter....focus on the trees....

1976 Honda XL250 Carb rebuild

I intended to just flip this bike but when a friend wants it, you have to give it some real attention.
Carb rebuild.....I will have it for you by Friday!!!

Didn't want to have to do this but I am glad I did.
The "mechanic" I bought this bike from must not have had a float bowl gasket..
...so he used this red crap that obviously reacts with gas.
I wonder why it was cutting out at 4,000/5,000RPM on the way to the gas station today.....

Stripped.
I think I want to make a dirt-bobber out of one of these or an XL350.
Not for me though...who wants one?

Carb bath and new jets, needle and gaskets on the way.

Oh yeah...went on the first mini road trip of the year today.  
Too much to post....coming soon.

Night time

is the right time.
The constant companion.

The road warrior.

The newest fix-up.
I.V.'ed up and ready for some brake shoes, tank and seat.
Hope M. likes it.

Benly = Convenient in Japanese. 便利。
I would pay some money for one of those tank side emblems...or a high res. file....

The germ \\\\\///// Maiden Voyage

The germ got its first ride....
I don't know what I got it up to because it doesn't have a speedo yet...
Still needs some carb and electrical tweaking......
Oh, and I should probably get insurance...
      I blew 3 bulbs....including the 30 dollar fog light....boo. 
 Ordering a regulator tonight!  
The last two chinese engine bikes I worked on didn't have this problem...the opposite actually.  
At least I know I will be bright at night!
