1/4/10- 2 bikes off to paint and almost powder (still have to sep a set of spoked wheels. Now I have a car to finish and transmission work to do).

 

 

12/27/09- OUCH. Decided to go for a ride today since the weather broke. And forgot to retard the magneto when I hit the key. My expensive 65-69 inner primary............. No one to blame but myself though

 

12/20/09-Finally getting some work done again after moving house and garage (almost done). Straightened a bent OEM 58-72 swingarm with some heat and muscle. Fired up the new TIG using new wiring in the new garage and did the the pipes and bars.

 

12/13/09- Crash course in electrical. Wiring two 220v circuits in garage for TIG and Air compressor. This is the panel originally: 80 amp subpanel fed by 6ga. Ran 10-3 and 6-3 for the TIG and compressor, respectively, then redid the panel.

 

8/28/09- Just looking through some old photos and these were from my pre getting married trip down the mid-atlantic coast and up the Blue Ridge, almost 1700mi.

 

7/31/09- w/ all bikes done, I'm finally working on the El Camino, eventhough i don't want to. Bedliner and new stainless.

3/31/09- Good head! Thanks Zippers

3/29/09- I loathe spiral lock wrist pin clips

3/21/09- More fun

3/20/09- last parts from paint and powder arrive

3/19/09- i hate internal throttles

3/18/09-starting to look like a bike. And I got the power cross feed on my South Bend 9" A working.

3/15/09- I hate mounting tires, especially on freshly powdercoated wheels.

3/14/09- Fun with stainless

3/13/09- Picked up 90% of the powder coat, the ceramicoated exhaust, and 66% of the paint. The paint is what I expected but not what I'd hoped for from a guy from a local body shop painting on the side. I'm excited to see this thing done though. Oh well. Bearings in the wheels and spoked one wheel.

3/12/09- Bearings installed in the drums

3/10/09- '69 trans ready to go. Front brake drum sand blasted and painted.

 and  and. But tomorrow's a new day w/ lots of plans.
