Congrats to Taylor! We finished her bike up last week and she took it home on Saturday morning. This little scrambler went from dead on arrival to a 1-kick zinger. I do love my Harleys but ripping one of these little Hondas through city traffic is a lot of fun. If you’re in the Twin Cities and need a hand with your Japanese or Harley motorcycle, give a ring.
Man, it’s not even winter and it looks like lots of folks are already attacking the motor work with the intensity of a thousand suns. I started my shovel rebuild a couple days ago. The jugs are .060 over making my 74″ motor roughly an 80″ motor when complete. Flywheel assembly turned out to be a pile of sh*t but that was all sorted out with Gators help. The bottom end should be done in about a week (The heads are another story.)
Spencer’s Triumph is already under way. Damn – I’m rooting for that guy. He’s got some serious heart. All said and done, he’ll be the triumph man by the time he comes out the other side.
Everyone get ready for that long, hard winter. Swap meets here I come.
Spencer has been hard at work all week trying to get his little Triumph rocking. After much frustration and late nights… she’s alive and actually ridable. It was a little touch and go there for a while but he managed to squeak the bike past the finish line early this evening. Check him out today at Full Tilt. Where exactly is full tilt at? Great questions. Victoria and Jefferson intersection in St Paul right next to Tav on the Ave. Be there. This will be Epic.
On a side note. It’s 1am and I’m at the shop downloading video and pics from the Pre-Tilt party. Steve lent me a really sweet Rode mic for my camera. Making me look all for serious and what not. Harpoon and Grant (Born Free/FMA) are here, Josh Kurpius and the Death Science crew made it, Eternal combustion is here along with a whole lot of other folks too. The show is all on the up and up. This thing will be quite the gathering.
New camera, new projects. Getting ready for Born Free. Leaving in a week so I got to get the bike paint finished, print work needs to be wrapped up and We’re still looking for one more passenger to lighten the load with driving and fuel costs.
