Tear it down...

Time for a rebuild.With the help of the most ugly ass clutch pulling tool you've ever seen. My bike is left looking rather gutless...

The White Russian

An old friend of mine Yuri Padowinikoff built this snappy lil Yamaha. All kinds of crazy shit going on here. You'll have to check out his build thread to fully appreciate all he's done.http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13561

Cool Shit

I got this book from a customer a while back. I has a few cool tips, but I mostly dig the illustrations. So much detail. Not to mention some of the easiest reading wiring diagrams I've ever seen.

Winding down

The days are getting shorter. Mornings are getting colder. Trying to sweep away as many gremlins as possible on the new build before the season comes to a close.

So here it is.

 After three years of searching,cutting,chopping, welding, grinding,losing,filing, sanding, winning, slipping, flipping tripping, gripping, ripping, painting,wiring, tucking, nipping, walking around in circles and talking to myself....... It's finally done.....almost.

The way home

I was in Cearwater fueling up  to make my way back, and was begining to worry where I was gonna find enough oil to drag my ass home, when another shovel riding fella named John rolled up asking the same question! He reached into his pocket and handed me a handful of these stickers he had made. We found some 5w50 (close enough) and traveled back to hwy97 through the Interlakes. Dodged a few deer, saw him almost smoke a car as he was lighting a cigarette, and thought I might have to fight an old squarehead with a hairlip who thought I was taking too long at the gas pumps! I like riding alone, but it's always a little more interesting traveling with someone else.

Vavenby

When my Grampa was 16 he rode his horse from Vavenby to Williams Lake. I've wanted to make this trip since I first built my bike. Only took 5 years to make it happen...
