Spent several hours last night on the Walsh project and it's looking pretty good so far. Motor and trans. installed and aligned, S&S carburetor and intake manifold installed, oil tank installed and oil lines cut and fitted, and bunch of little things. Mainly good to jump into it full speed and start making it come together. Next will be fabbing mounts to install the gas tank and welding on the kick ass Fab Kevin front & rear seat mounts. Work continues........

Always an Adventure
With an 80 degree, sunny day in store on March 1 Jimmy and I hit the road for a ride out in the country. Despite two separate instances where each of us forgot that motorcycles need fuel to run, we had a good ride and discovered a couple real nice stretches of road in the area. A sweet weekday ride, one of the few upsides to being unemployed.

Hero Worship
Checked out the International Motorcycle Show in Charlotte yesterday. Got to sit on the new 190+hp ZX-14 and check out some other cool bikes. Ed, Jimmy, and I then headed to Newton's to enjoy a top shelf dinner from his beautiful and very patient wife, Karel. Good time hanging out with the crew and talking about bike projects and warm weather riding coming up soon.

New Jack
New bike build project in the shop. I'm building this one for my buddy Barry's son. Straight forward rigid with a nice Evo and a 5-Speed. Good simple bike built to run and ride, looking forward to diving into it.

No, I Don't Know How Fast I was Going!
What do you do with those two nice mounting lugs on your narrowglide top tree? Make a sweet mini speedo mount, that's what. Jimmy's new set up I knocked out last night. I tried to convince him that if you don't have a speedo then at least you can say you didn't know how fast you were going when you get pulled over, but oh well. Jimmy loves abiding by the law, sort of.
