st. patty's weekend

sold a bike



worked on the cb750 engine




drank some beers and dressed up in leather




helped with christoph's hypno show




and watched some kung fu






all in all, a pretty damn good couple days.

first taste

today i received the first taste of things to be; making money wrenching. it may not have been a month's salary, but I'm okay with baby steps.

I picked up a '73 CB350 a few weeks back. sure, it was a little haggard from being outside for the winter, and of course, that classic old gas smell pouring out of the carbs when i cracked them open. But with a little bit of love and encouragement, she was reborn.



the long walk home. stopped for a breather...






cleaned up the carbs, new oil, adjusted the ignition and valves, new battery...





a little wipedown....




good to go

thanks jim!


blog stall

my recent RD350 purchase has been stealing any ounce of spare time I had remaining. this weekend, lex and i managed to disassemble the bike down to the frame, clean up every piece we could get our hands on and finally puzzle it back together.



next up, is the engine work....
