1966 Honda CL160 run Part 2: The clean up.

Moyou supervising the tear down and organizing of parts into totes.

Tons of good parts on this CL160.......

I think I am going to set it up for AMA racing with just enough light to be legal.

 Perfect Dirt.

I will go see Gary on this one.

I would have bought just the CL160 for the price I paid.

These gold snowflake rims were the icing on the cake.

Came with the triple tree and all parts.

35mm forks......hmm......

I am going to take a few things off this Suzuki GN400 engine....

The exhaust will be reworked to lengthen the Pony header.

All the brake components will be saved for use with the snowflake rims.

Covers, levers, and engine stripped and probably........sad to say but.....--->ebay.

1966 Honda CL160 run Part 1

Getting up before the sun.

Still half awake.

Got it all loaded. 

Listened to flat track racing stories.

Made it back in time to see these two.

Time to unload.

1966 CL160 without a front rim (otherwise complete).

Suzuki GN400 thumper (for the rims and triple tree - the rest is for ebay).

Mike also gave me extra parts from an XS650 and other random bikes.

Thanks again, M. Davis.

CB360 fired right up

No really.
It did.

Turned these batteries into 75 dollars of credit at the autoparts store....

4 day late gasket.

And a lock without a key...come on.

Carbs, covers, timing, gaps, whatever else....done.

Cam chain and tappets good.

Why do my bikes all have this problem?

Headers on.

I.V. set up.

Moyou is bored.

Adrenaline.

Right carb float needs adjusted.  . .

Honda CB 360 Tune up

Friday = Bike and yoga day

With the first round of yoga finished.....it's time for this.

This will be done today.

Heating up the O.R. as I type.

On to Bloomington to pick up a CL160 and a GN400.

Then back to work on Jessy's bike.

This is what you do to an engine before you clean it up.

Make sure everything works right, duh.

I am STILL waiting on a gasket but it is supposed to be in today.

This is 30 minutes of progress....

This will be done today.

After that a quick trip to Bloomington to pick up a CL160 and a GN400.

Then back to work on Jessy's bike.

Parts pick up.

Dirty points.

Probably usable but...

This is probably why the individual who sold this to me gave up...

The points plate was cranked down un-centered...

Come on.....seriously?

New points gapped and ready for timing.

Snap on.  

Hutch-a-creapin'.

Just heard that beep.

The gasket is here.

New Year's Part II: Snowmobile adventure

Snowmobiles......I always forget how much these rule!

Two-stroke powerband.

I might have to get an RD350.....

renenenenenenene-renenenenenene!

Dad was like a kid in a candy store.

So happy to have it running.

I know the feeling!

Chased Moyou and she chased me.

Powder!

Action shot.

Into the woods!

Deer prints everywhere.

She was on the search.

Wabash river to the right.

Booty shot.

Trees hugging.

 Lead the way.

Family photo.

 Jumping.

Duh.

Snow drift!

Moyou and me.

Thanks for the photos Dad!

The left side of the underbody guard got ripped off in the ice.
Trimmed and re-secured.

Bolt action.

Retired?

All aboard! 

Grandparent time.

Hot tubbin'.
