Lacey Sunday.

Modeskelektor and Royksopp all day long.

Cleaning then re-lacing a CL175 rear hub to a CB160 rim.

Vicious cycle told me to.

Hours on the wire wheel today.

 This rusty dirty pile.......................................................clean enough.

 

Spokes in holes.

Predator.

 Fancy brassy flare +9.

Work it in.

 Bigcity stopped by to chat.

Action shot Hutch.

 Moyou took this opportunity to remove every one of her toys from her toy bin and put them in her crate.

"Acting out"

 What I did next to what I should have been doing.

100+ tests still not graded.

 Not perfect.  

House garage. Season 2.

Still need more room to park my car.

Moyou approved.

 CB160 barn find.

Just needs wired.

 My beard motivation.

House Garage Find!

Re-blogged from a tumblr account somewhere.

Sick house garage.  Taking it to the next level.

 

Three Day Weekend

I once heard someone say the weekend only comes once a week........

            ( www.loveitmane.blogspot.com )

Well this week it was extra long and though I didn't really appreciate it because I just got off holiday break from the classroom, it was fun filled to say the least....

Here is a little recap in photos.

Gotta drink the 'bucha in smoothies everyday.

House garage got a new friend.  

Wiring on the CB100 officially commenced.

Waiting for a rectifier and condenser. 

Runnin' low on herb so I hit my dealer up.........

A little light reading.

Engines and frames. Stickers and bolts.

Staying busy to stay busy.

Coloring is therapeutic.  Finding quotes like this is too.

Gun and knife show, first and last.

Moyou graduated to sleeping in the living room at night.  

I have felt so bad about that stupid crate and have been waiting for this day for so so long.  

Can't wait till I can trust her to be out during the day too.

I also have a prospect on another XL350 that will not require an engine rebuild....4.5 hrs both ways.  Two tanks of gas total....  

That isn't too far right?  

Hope for good weather on Saturday.  Maybe I will take the pup....she got car sick last time we were in the truck for 2 hours though.....probably too stressful for her.  

House Garage

Hutch's Honda CB/CL100 project needs some new veins.  

Might get a new seat too......

House Garage Ariel Colt

I have been taking advantage of the house garage and since bike night is at TJ's tomorrow, I wanted to work a little on my own stuff tonight again.  

I did this a few nights ago.  Finished mocking up the germ and wired in the headlight and plugs for the rear lights.  Still don't know what to do about a break light.....  Like that gold throttle cable?...

This is where my motorcycle A.D.D. kicks in.  I have three bikes and I want to build them all right now.  I have been pb blasting rusty parts for removal, tonight I took everything but the plunger shocks and forks apart.  I think it is strange that the bolts for this are SAE......oh well.  I guess the set my dad bought for me in high school will finally get some use.  

I thought this part was interesting.  It is a switch/relay for the rear brake light.  I hope this still works, I want to re-use it.

I took the tires off to see how rusty the rims were inside they looked decent so I will be able to use them.  These are the tubes that were on this bike.  Made in Great Britain.  What is that picture of in the circle on the left?

I think I am done with her for now. . .want to take the shocks apart and make sure they aren't sketchy.  I need to check the brakes too.  I don't know where I can get new pads though.  The only place I could find was in Europe and they "reconditioned" them.  I am guessing this means adding more pad somehow?  These are really similar to other old British bikes, I wonder if there is someone in town that can do that...

          I am still looking for an xr250 engine for this frame.  I would even consider an XR100 engine for the right price.....

House Garage

House Garage Year One

Why didn't I do this last year?

A quick look into the spare bedroom reveals....

that I am too poor to build a new garage so......

I brought that crap inside!

Waterproof tarp on bottom, anti-fatigue mats on top. 

No oil or gas work.

Work bench in the front.  I think this will keep me happy till spring......

Let's see how quick I can ruin my house.

.......hard to believe a person made this her home until yesterday...........
