C110 Racing

This photo is epic in so many ways.
Taken in 1967.
55cc Big bore - uh oh!

Check out no front brake!
That's why he can pop that wheelie...

I can't help it.  
There is something about these bikes.
I wish I would have been around for this.




S90's and S65's are nice too.

Steer Inn June 2012.
Saw some new old stuff and some old stuff.
Tired of the the brand new bikes..isn't it vintage bike night?



















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......


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!


The germ is in my house

I have been putting this off for a long time.  I have to make a seat for Gunnar this week so I thought I would get everything out and make mine first.  I was originally going to use the original foam that had been cut and formed but I decided last minute it was too gross.....and I wanted to use my electric meat cutter on the foam to see how well it would work.



Would you like a demo?

I will never use the hot knife to cut foam again.  Ever.

Yeah, I skipped the most annoying step.  .  . cutting out and sewing the seat vinyl.

Not finished yet but its getting close.  I need to make circle emblems out of wood, and finish the rear brake and wire it in.

Vroom Vroom?

The seat is longer that I wanted it to be.  I will probably end up cutting it down an inch or two (and the frame) and wiring a brake in the back of it.   

Fall break - Ft. Wayne

Straight to Loving Cafe.  Ordered too much.  Ate too much.  Took some home......

 Time for antiques!

 On a different day I would have probably bought this.  Honda C110 toy rip-off.  
It even has the honda logo on the tank.  The guy said he would take 30. . . .
From Gay Toys Inc. out of Michigan.

 These guys were closed.  Lame.

Back tracked to the health food store and then this place.  
What a bust....

And I got to see this little lady!
My sorcery was working but she didn't like it.  Look at her hair!

Upside down

 In the air.

 Time for bed.
She can kind of pronounce my name.  
Sounds something like the the sweeper brand dyson but close enough for me.
