It's alive

 I have built a lot of engines over the past 25 years. Never befor one with this much displacement or this many pistons. First start up had me as excited and nervous as my first dirt bike engine job that I did over a winter in my parents basement. I remember starting up that Yamaha YZ and I was pleasently shocked when it kickstarted right to life. And then gutted but not really surprised when seconds later it locked up instantly. I tore it back down only to find a miss-placed washer that I had dropped into the crank case where it lodged it self between the crank lobe and the case causing no damage. Lesson learned: Acount for every thing and find anything you drop, or else. Luckily my small block chevy build didnt lock up or have any drama on it's maiden run in. Woo-hoo!

What we all need are more black moto T-shirts

 

Sam Turner drew up this and since it is so rad I put it on a bunch of nice quality T-shirts. I think you should go buy one and maybe another for your nice neighbor down the street that shovels your side walk or your granny because remember that she used to make you really good mac and cheese and she never told your dad about that time you crapped your pants. She was also a wiffle-ball champion and you owe it to her.

Current events

 

It has been very easy for me to embrace my anti-social behavior lately but I am trying to keep the balance. This should be a very good time. I plan to have support fuel trucks, shuttle vans, and beer wagons. Anything from street legal chopper routes to extreme single track tech. Any and all are welcome. Come out and say hello.

I have been teaching Layla the 'Wild Thing' to skate across the shop.

The plan to transplant the Hayabusa engine into ol Salty Balls has made about as much progress as humanity has this winter. It will happen eventually. The salt flats are calling...

I am now an Ohlins dealer. Shocking- I know. I did a deep resto on these old crusty boingers and I reckon I think I deserve a medal or something... Actually I will just settle with putting them on my Excess 650 and seeing how long it takes to un-straiten the shafts.

The getting has been real good here lately. I must remember how lucky I am to live in a part of the universe not drasticaly effected by politics, disease, religous prosicution, famine, genicide, space junk or all the other crap going on. Every day is a treasure and as far as I am concerned there aint a damn thing worth bitching about.

Back on track

I am pretty excited about this...
