The new normal


Pushed it too far skating tonight.
Popped my rib out again. 
Worse than last time.
At least it's winter right?

This severely limits my distractions.
I guess I will have to deal with my emotions again.
F.M.L.

Endorphins. 

These dudes.

Thanks Robby.

Honda CB360 charging system updgrade

Time to upgrade the charging system in Jessy's CB360.
Simple swap.
Rick's Motorsport Electrics.

 Impact.
 Side covers before they both were removed.
Dare to compare.
 New stator installed in the cover.
There is no notch on these to use when setting the timing and tappets...
I notched the top left lobe in the center and marked it with a sharpie.
I hope whoever tunes this bike in the future can figure it out.
Regulator-Rectifier combo.

Ready to ride.

This process took about an hour.
At idle I was getting 12.9 volts to the battery.
Stock CB360 charging systems I have worked with don't reach that at 5000rpm...

*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.

Snow day

Blizzard Smizzard

 Monon for miles

This is a long walk for someone with nothing to think about.
Get it?

Snow angel
H&M's

This is what I was searching for.

Anytime is a good time for some ramp time.
Even if you aren't skating.

Deck's finished.

The project 360 got some long overdue love
Ordering parts tonight?
Tune, hook up to the IV, check compression and listen to the engine run.
 .......before I put money or anymore time into it.


Good cold ride.


32 degrees.
Splitting lanes like I wish I could on my motorcycle.
Brought me back to life tonight.
Reminded me of loner late nights in Tokyo shooting photos.

I might need to build a bike this winter.....and I'm not talking another motorcycle.
Thanks Tim and Jason.

Bicycles.

Some of my earliest memories at the house my parents sold when I was 7 are of riding a white BMX bike off hand made jumps with my brother. 
 I have missed late night riding in Bloomington since I moved to Indy.
These last two weeks have rekindled that fire.  

Best view of the city?


Elephants never forget.


Carmel Skatepark gets a facelift.

Carmel got a speed smooth upgrade from the one and only Bart.

Crescent moon grind.

Fall has snuck up once again.

Workshop Day 6 - The OR gets power...

Ditch diggin' with 模様。
Moyou is an expert digger so she supervised the trench.


"Make sure this green tomatoe doesn't get buried...I want to eat it later when you aren't looking." 
-Moyou

"Yes, you may bury the tube now." -Moyou

"Well done."- Moyou


Put that away....

Jim 'n Tim

Plugged and ready for play.
Hang the heater, run the sealing plugs, and bench lights.
Then it will be time for some insulation, sheeting, and paint.

Vintage Bike Night Oct.

Steer Inn October 2012.


Love these handlebars....



Yes, this is a Whitey swingarm.







Just Tim and I tonight.
Rally'd a bit.

I need a new side cover with a better shifting mechanism.  
Oil spitter.
