Gimme some Sunshine!

It’s hard to keep the vibes going through the Midwest winters. Videos like this get me hyped up all over again. Screwing off in an abandoned parking lot on a hot summers day. Gimme some sunshine at least.

New Years EVE!

Headed out with Drunkle Evan tonight. Maybe hit the Mill, the Deuce, the welding equipment and eventually the floor. Maybe I’ll just get tattooed? I’ll call and consult with HEAVY on this one.

Save A Buck ~ Fix it

The sh*t I’ll do to save some scratch is pretty low. My XS timing chain snapped on me while bombing back into the Twin Cities last September. After I pulled the top end off, I could see that the teeth on the cam were perfect. The crank sprocket on the other hand… DESTROYED. Not a single tooth left. Unfortunately, this crank sprocket is an obsolete part meaning I’m up sh*t creek. My options are wait it out for  an old xs motor on Craigs list for around $100 beans or just swap the crank and buy a gasket set on eBay.

I went with the replacement crank and a gasket set. The crank ran me $1.99 and the gasket set… $60. Other than an hour of open heart surgery, at least I know I’m running a clean motor with new timing chain and gaskets. The top end was still well within tolerances so I’m gonna let sleeping dogs lie with that one.
