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.

Tinkering and Riding

Ordered the shocks and got legal at the BMV.

Buttoning stuff up to get it road ready.

Maiden voyage tomorrow?

 Finish the seat pan tomorrow hopefully.

 The chicken whisperer.

Road some country gravel with BCH.

These two look like brothers.

 Shameless.

Holiday farms.

Tank welding Tiggerific

*Disclaimer*

I have never welded aluminum before.  I have not used a tig welder in years.  This was my second time.  I am a self proclaimed proud-to-be booger welder.  This was a challenge.

Headin' there.

 I love my fruit trees but I wish I had one of these trees like my mom and pops.

Gettin' down to business.
Time to turn a cap for that hole.

 This lathe is so much easier to use....

 Done.

Fillin' holes.

 Ryan showing me how its done.

 This was my best flat weld after a little practice.

 Tank is done but not pretty.
I picked the worst thing to try to weld on my first attempt.....

Headin' home.

Summer has begun

What do all these things have in common?

Summer fun.

Skateboarding.

Roll faster.

The Germ is about to get tuned.

Random aluminum tank from the Muncie spot.

"Suziki" -- never hear of it........
