CB360 turnover

Torn apart
Tearing down.
  Wake up and come out fighting.

Tank Coating, part deux

My tank is being painted, thanx dad.
We had a big can of red, so that's what color the tank is going to be. Decided to remove the old emblem mountings as they were pretty mangled, probably will look better with a classic set of honda wing stickers and some silver stripes running along the length, just like the old RC tanks.

I'm liking the way this looks, might just put it back on my SS50Z moped, to make it look more like the way it used to, long ago:
Same tank by the way, one or two crashes earlier...

Student gifts part 2

Last day of finals.  
I got a toy, some cards....and a tin full of vegan snickerdoodles?  
Yes.
And she even took pictures of all the labels of the ingredients...dang.
I also got a gift certificate for a massage.  
I'm serious.  
Gifts this year have killed it.
 

Student art

From the first Friday of the first week my students learn Japanese I encourage them to draw on every test and quiz.  I tell them it's something that old people forget to do and eventually lose the ability to do so they should embrace it while they are young and never stop!
 I do have some selfish motivation though.  I am not the biggest fan of grading so my students little doodles and drawings are like my motivation to make it to the back page when grading that 5 page end of the semester final....  Here are some first year student gems from a Kanji test last week.






Elephants

Oh!  The Humanity!
Moyou!
I guess that's what I get for buying a toy with a squeaker for a brain.
Didn't even last a month.


Around the holiday season I get gifts from some of my students.
They probably don't realize it but getting gifts means a lot.  Notes and cards too.
Especially when they pay attention and know you well enough to get you something like this.
They know I love to read.  I try to motivate them to do the same.
And they know I love elephants.   
Perfect!  
Thank you, Corinthia!

Night so soon

Monon at 6:30 shouldn't be dark.
She was on a mission tonight.
Pulling hard from start to finish.
I wish I would have dressed warmer.
We could have went to Bripp and back.

Purge

Less Is More
  
This is just the beginning........
How did I end up with so many shirts?



122cc motor cylinderhead

Done a little bit of work for my S90 in between all the other projects.
The plan is to build another engine, bored and stroked to 122cc by using ATC110 parts, cylinder, crankshaft and head. Only the ATC110 head has separate valve seats which are pretty thin, which means there is not enough material in them to install a bigger inlet valve.
A while ago I recieved a head from someone, probably C90, that had a full cast in combustion chamber, much easier to put a larger valve in there, but this head didn't fit the ATC110 cilinder.
I had to machine the space for the top of the cilinder, and also the studbolt hole where the oil comes up, as the ATC110 has a large rubber collar there and the C90 head didn't have a space for it.

ATC head on the left, C90 on the right.


the valve I plan on using compared to the original S90 inlet valve


when made to fit the head, this motor will breathe a little easier.
