Cafe Anh

DSC_0210I have been going to this cute cafe for the last 7 years but not regularly. Last week with my friend's son, I went back to Anh Cafe and enjoyed the experience and very much.

Cafe Anh, 70 Nguyen DuRight opposite Thien Quang Lake, this is a great place for people-watching. The big trees in front provide shade for the customers and a nice breeze from the lake blows across, which is a blessing in the heat of the Hanoi summer. The coffee isn't the best in town but it passes the test on a morning when I am a bit slow to get going. I take my coffee with a slightly bigger pour of condensed milk and ice. Of course, in summer, hot coffee is out of the question - though sometimes my street food tour customers still prefer that.

Cafe Anh, 70 Nguyen DuPerhaps the best featyre of this cafe is the owner, a skinny old man who wanders up and own the line of customers sweeping up the discarded sunflower seed husks and collecting the money. His cafe is really a part of old Hanoi, I guess and that's reason enough to come back again and again.

You are so needy sometimes.
I think she knows I am leaving her soon.

Decent lean.

French Lick - Indiana railway museum - Bloomington

Took a moto trip down south.  
The railway museum was the destination but the adventure home was just as good.
The roads are beautiful down there.











The youth size was too small, adult too big......what am I?
One red eye?

This place was nuts.
Thanks for the tip Hutch.

Neat.

CT90 Work

I have had this CT90 for a long time....  I like the idea of this bike but I NEVER ride it....so it is up for sale on craigslist.  It has been completely gone through......the only thing wrong is the carb which needs to just be replaced I think.  I can't figure it out!  It will run great for 2 or so miles then I have to clean the carb...then it runs great again!  If I can't get what I want out of it, I am going to either buy a stock carb for it or swap in a pitbike engine.

I also got this in the mail today....it's all going on the pony.
Cleaning!

Gearbox trouble

I've had a lot of gearbox problems, 2 of my 5speed gearboxes had problems, meaning I had to open up all of them to solve the problem. We've probably found it now as I've built one 5speed motor under my ss50 and it rides great. Also put on some original Benly mudguards to replace the aftermarket ones and built a low exhaust from an original HM065k1 silencer and an aftermarket C100 downpipe. And then gave the bike a quick clean and polish so it looks fresh for summer. The motor I wanted to put under this bike turned out to have a kickstarter problem, so that will need to be openend up again, and still need to look at one more 5speed motor and 2 4speed motors with shifting problems. I won't have to be bored for now.
