Parts Update

Carbs sent off, throttle cable arrived and the gas tank was the steal of the century at $46. Should be ready for the next trip, if I can get it all back together.

Parts...

Brad has ordered a new throttle cable for his motorbike and has also purchased a new gas tank. Now the truth is I had it repainted last year but have scratched it up a bit since. I am shipping my carbs out tomorrow to have them rebuilt and I bought the tank because there are things floating around in my gas tank and with rebuilt carbs I don't want something making its way through the fuel line and screwing up my carbs. Money out the window. The other main reason I got the new tank is because it was a wonderful price and the dude is in Maryland and I can go and get it. I think I'll pick it up Thursday...

This made me sad

Hey, Big fan of this...

This is by the same company that makes my leather jacket. And you all know I love my leather jacket. Looks like a hell of a price. Any comments?

Long time gone

Sorry for the long delay though I know this blog isn't checked very often. Tim and I are slowly planning the bike trip and I am getting ready to send my carbs off to get them worked on. After that is done in a couple of weeks I'll be up there to put them in and maybe get the bike up and running. I figure the sooner the better so if it needs to get put in the shop because I messed something up we can have enough time before the trip.
I don't know if I put this on my blog but I went to test dive some bikes for Tim at the BMW dealer around here and they wanted a $1500 deposit. Bunch of shit that is...
