Maiden Voyage

The not so triumphant maiden voyage.

Soft mounted the tank.

No gas leak!

Configure the exhaust.

Grizzle and Moyou approved.

 The starter motor linkage got xed.

 Tomorrow we start tuning.

An maybe hook up the alternator.

Or not.

＊A new year＊A new beginning＊

2012:

 A year of growing and a year of letting go.

A year of becoming a better person but losing a big part of myself.

2013: 

The first year of the rest of my life.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Be happy and healthy by yourself or you can never be completely happy with anyone else.

Learn from the past but cut the chain and watch the anchor sink to the depths.

Less judgement, more empathy.

Grounded, centered, finding the future.

This is my new year's card.

Somehow not complete.

I am thankful for my family and friends.

I wouldn't have survived this year without you.

Roots.

Hope for the future.

 Growing strong.

New life.

Near to my heart.

Building up.

Best of times.

Love lost.

Road trips.

Heavy hitters.

Persistence. 

 

Leap of faith.

There was an election?

  It was Vegan donut night-->which is much more important.

Some pre-donut animal shots.  

Such a good sport.

 Or maybe not.

Grizzle keeping things interesting.

Focus.

OKAY!

And on to the donut making.....

Creepy smile?

Form and set.

Some kind of gang sign?

Rise children!

Fry baby, fry!

Glazed holes.

Creme filled and glazed.

This was my idea......strawberry supreme stomach ache.

Family shot!

Thanks Z and S for having me over.
We should do this more than once every 4 years.

Ramen Dinner

Moyou looks soo bummed.

Tried to make food tonight.  Didn't taste right without you.

Memorial day isn't even over yet.

I guess CB360 clutch mechanisms are notorious for having a popping problem.

New clutch cables aren't made exactly to spec...among other things.

Z took off the adjuster nuts (at the engine and lever) and now it works!

He put new clutch plates in while it was open too.

CB360's definitely have more power than the older smaller 350 brother...

Who is that in the background?

Grizzle!  Put that thing away!

Mean muggin'.

Went for a short little ride.  

I need to get a uni filter for my bike and possibly a smaller main jet....

Third day off in a row, third day of 90+ weather.

Smoothie time.
